48. Burnout & Putting Yourself to Bed on Time

Ask me a question or let me know what you think!

Every person needs to take one day away.  A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.  Maya Angelou 

Welcome to the Modern Creative Woman, where we explore the power of creativity through neuro aesthetics, art therapy and innovative thinking. I'm Dr. Amy Backos, your hostess and creativity expert, bringing you the art and science of creativity through our conversations and creative insights. I'll provide simple tricks and practices that demystify the creative process so you can live a more authentic and expressive life. 

Leisure isn't something you have to earn, and rest isn't something that's only allowed after you accomplish everything.  Let's talk about the true cost of taking care of everyone else.  What happens when we as women prioritize our family, our work, our community over ourselves to the point that we're neglecting ourselves? 

In my 40s, I committed to sleep. I had to say, "what's done is done, what's undone is undone," and just go to bed on time. And that was one of the most boring aspects of self-care, putting myself to bed on time.  And it has had the biggest difference for me in how I feel.
