You're exhausted. But you can't sleep.
You lie down and your mind is still running.
You've tried taking a rest and it's not working.
That's not a willpower problem.
That's your nervous system stuck in survival mode.
And until you address that, no amount of sleep, holiday, or positive thinking will fix it.
In this episode, Eugene Lee walks you through the one step that has to come before everything else in burnout recovery — the nervous system reset.
Why your body stopped responding to rest.
What downregulation actually means.
And one simple practice you can start today that begins to tell your body: the threat is over.
You're safe now.
