Joy Wasted with KB Dickey

There are times when life throws everything at us, and our vision becomes so blurry we can’t even see two feet in front of us. I’ve been there, feeling oldish, tired, and burnt out – it’s like I’m stuck in the Twilight Zone and I have no clue what’s real or not.

The Blur of Burnout: Feeling Too Seasoned and Tired
Ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the world, and your vision is this foggy mess? Yeah, I’ve been there. The fatigue, the burnout, and the whispers of “Am I too old for this?” echoing in my head. It’s like trying to read a map without glasses – everything’s just a blurry jumble.

Finding the Energy to Rise When You Feel Knocked Down
Now, let’s talk about finding the energy to get back up when life sucker punches you. It seems like some folks have this magical well of resilience, right? While for the rest of us, even standing up feels like spaghetti legs. But here’s the scoop – it’s okay to feel knocked down. It’s okay to admit you’re tired and confused. We’re human, and frankly that’s not going to change. So, give yourself grace and find what grounds you to at least get started on your road to rejuvenation.

Why Does It Seem So Easy for Some and Hard for Most?
Ever wondered why some people make it look like a breeze while the majority of us are huffing and puffing in the background? The truth is, appearances can be deceiving. Behind those seemingly easy journeys, there’s often a trail of struggles, setbacks, and blurry visions. No one has it all figured out, even if their Instagram says otherwise.

The Myth of Easy Change and Unsolicited Advice
Oh, the infamous “All you have to do is…” advice. Can we talk about how infuriating that can be? It’s like telling someone drowning, “Just swim!” Change isn’t easy, and it definitely isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal. We’re all on unique journeys, and sometimes, just getting out of bed feels like a monumental victory. Oh my goodness! Y’all just don’t know, ugh! Woo chile! An everyday struggle to even leave the house after getting out of the bed.

Encouraging Yourself When the Vision is Blurry
So, how do you find encouragement in the midst of a blurry vision? Firstly, cut yourself some slack. Acknowledge the burnout, the tiredness, and the confusion. It’s okay not to have it all together. Secondly, find your fuel – what ignites that spark within you? Whether it’s a hobby, a person, or a dream, cling to it.

And here’s the secret sauce – surround yourself with a squad of fellow blurry visionaries. Share your struggles, share your wins, and let the collective energy lift you up. Because, my friend, even in the blurriest moments, there’s a path waiting to be unveiled.

To embracing the blur and finding clarity in the chaos,
