Hey,
Welcome to this short meditation which is affirmations for creatives recovering from burnout.
Take a moment to pause,
Take a deep generous breath,
Blow it out,
And let your nervous system know you are safe,
You are supported,
You don't have to push right now,
Just receive.
I honour the exhaustion I feel.
It doesn't make me weak,
It means I've given everything,
And now it's time to give to myself.
I am allowed to rest,
I am allowed to stop.
Rest is productive,
Rest is powerful,
Rest is sacred.
My creativity is not gone,
It's simply sleeping,
And when it wakes,
It will be more beautiful than ever.
Even if I don't feel inspired right now,
I am still an artist.
Even when I'm silent,
I'm still a creative.
There is no rush,
There is no deadline.
My creativity will return to me when I'm ready to hold it again.
I release guilt.
I release comparison.
I release the pressure to prove myself.
I choose softness.
I choose gentleness.
I choose ease.
I am healing.
My nervous system is resetting.
My creative fire is rekindling slowly,
Quietly in the background.
I trust my body.
I trust my pace.
I trust my process.
I am enough exactly as I am.
I am still worthy even in the quiet seasons.
I don't have to do to deserve love and appreciation.
When I'm ready,
I will rise.
I will play.
I will create.
I will shine.
And my creativity will carry even more depth because I allowed myself to rest.
Take one more slow loving breath and let your whole body know you are doing beautifully.
You're not behind.
You are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Have a wonderful day.
