There was a time when I could barely get off the couch. I was burnt out, depleted and chronically exhausted.
Before that? I was cycling regularly, running, playing competitive squash, building my therapy practice, partying hard… always pushing, striving for perfection and needing to be in control of it all.
Yesterday, I completed a 10km race with a friend (with some walking and talking too!). In 2023, I finished a 4-day hike — happily arriving last at camp each day, having soaked in the scenery and the deep conversations.
What’s changed?
BALANCE
I’ve stopped tying my worth to constant achievement. My goals now are simple, pleasurable, sustainable.
And today, on the Equinox, day and night are perfectly balanced. A reminder of how much we need both:
- Masculine (yang): action, productivity, control. knowing
- Feminine (yin): intuition, emotions, rest, surrender
Our society glorifies the masculine and neglects the feminine — and burnout is the cost.
This Equinox, pause and ask yourself:
-How much feminine energy is in my life?
- What’s my relationship with rest, emotions, creativity, and surrender?
- Can I ground myself, even for a moment, and let the earth hold me? How does that feel?
Because balance isn’t just seasonal. It’s essential.
Have you tried to find balance but just can't maintain it?
Take my 5 minute quiz to understand the link between this dominant masculine energy, personality characteristics, nervous system balance and chronic fatigue.
