Thank you for this post Josefina. As a dad of two toddlers including one on the autism spectrum, I find myself burnt out frequently and feeling very drained. I really appreciate the list you’ve put together here, and it reminds me how much I struggle with relinquishing control and asking for help (or seeking community). I try to do everything myself and, when I can’t, I feel like I failed. It’s obviously unsustainable. But, anyway, thank you for the opportunity to reflect on how I can combat the fatigue.

That quote by Anne ('cause, you know, we're on a first name basis, lol) always makes me chuckle.

Rest in this season looks like extended times of journaling with stickers and prayer in the mornings, moments of stillness throughout the day, and long walks in my neighborhood.
