Join us this Wednesday at 1:00 PM PST for a complimentary Life-Essentials Class & Group Discussion - "Signs That You Are Burning Out". - Craig Marshall The Monk.
As I reflect on 35 years of monastic life, steeped in contemplation and service, I've observed that burnout isn't a phenomenon exclusive to the bustling corporate world. It's a human condition, affecting all who strive, serve, and seek, even in the quiet corridors of a monastery. Burnout whispers softly, revealing itself in subtle signs before it roars. Here are a few markers: emotional numbness, social withdrawal, sleep challenges, growing impatience and irritability. In recognizing these signs, the path to healing begins with acknowledging your human limits. It involves rekindling your connection with yourself, through rest, reflection, and possibly seeking guidance. Remember, it's not the intensity of your practice but the intention and awareness you bring to it that sustains you. Join me in a dialogue on this important topic
