Burnout and Rest

<p class="p1">After a short break, Gathering Gold is back with an episode about burnout and rest. We name just some of the many reasons why humans are tired right now, from navigating an ongoing global pandemic, to managing expectations around productivity and achievement. We land on a conversation about the unrelenting demands of technology that lead us to constant checking, producing, and multitasking, and exiting the present moment.</p> <p class="p1">We discuss some of the fears underneath resistance to rest, and Sheryl shares her recent experience of taking a break from Instagram. We talk about learning to pay attention to our own rhythms, and saying no to some things so we can say yes to others. </p> <p class="p1">Sheryl shares ideas for how we can replenish and recapture some energy as we move forward through ongoing uncertainty and transition.</p> <p class="p1">References and Resources:</p> <ul><li class="p1">Brené Brown's <a href='https://brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-amy-cuddy-on-pandemic-flux-syndrome/'>Dare to Lead podcast episode</a> with Amy Cuddy about Pandemic Flux Syndrome</li> <li class="p1">Emily Dickinson's poem <a href='https://allpoetry.com/If-you-were-coming-in-the-fall,'>"If you were coming in the fall"</a></li> <li class="p1"><a href='https://www.humanetech.com/podcast'>Your Undivided Attention</a> podcast</li> <li class="p1"><a href='https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224'>The Social Dilemma</a> documentary</li> <li class="p1"><a href='https://www.humanetech.com/'>Center for Humane Technology</a></li> <li class="p1">Relationship coach <a href='https://silvykhoucasian.com/'>Silvy Khoucasian</a></li> <li class="p1">Rabbi <a href='https://perennials.podbean.com/e/episode-4-lchaim-with-lisa-rappaport/'>Lisa Rappaport</a></li> <li class="p1"><a href='https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/what-is-shemita-the-sabbatical-year/'>Shemita</a> year in Judaism</li> <li class="p1"><a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10986410/'>Ted Lasso</a> TV show</li> <li class="p1"><a href='https://www.inst
