When Self-Care Knocks
Acrostic poem — Burnout prompt
Beat up and breathless I feel Uninspired Resentful and Numb, no longer Overjoyed by my work, but rather Utterly over it all; Tapped out.
Recharge I must, refuel my own Energy reserves Set aside precious time for me with me To honor, and love, and care for me first.
Rejuvenated I am for I filled my own cup of Energy, let it overflow and breathe New life into me so that I may Eagerly take on my life again with joy, zest and Wonder; allowing it to Ebb and flow as I Delight in its beauty yet again.
An Acrostic Poem is a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a specific word, as in the above; BURNOUT — REST — RENEWED.
