As my inner pain and burnout are slowly easing, I read this with wonder who the target audience is and the appropriateness for people like me who have been working with situations that seem to have no end in sight. Yes holding the context of doing for the greater good has made a difference and distancing as well. But I work with people and build close ties and connections, making distancing no longer possible in a situation that seems yo be getting worse. Staying positive recently has not been easy. I've had to redefine what hope means. And take take time for myself to just breath and distance while healing...unsure what I can manage next. Notice my breath. Come back to the moment. Be appreciative of where I am. Allow for healing while I acknowledge how vulnerable and tired I am. Distancing... saying no when my heart wants to go more and my body and mind and emotions know I need living care before I can step out forward again.returning to noticing my breath again and again.
