You know those days when you’re not fully sick, but you’re drained, flat and just not yourself?You can function… but it feels heavy. You can work… but the effort feels twice as big. You’re not in burnout, but you’re definitely not in a good place either. That’s the phase I’ve been in this week, and I wanted to talk about it while it’s real. Hi, I’m Mercedes. I work with the nervous system, somatic practices and gentle lifestyle rhythms that support my energy. I’ve been through burnout, overstimulation and long periods of chronic overwhelm, so I know how easy it is to push when your body is asking you to slow down. And this in-between state is the one I used to misunderstand the most. It’s not burnout. It’s not illness. It’s a recuperation phase, where your body is saying “I need a bit more care” but life still needs things from you. Maybe you’ve got work. Maybe you’re running a business. Maybe you’ve got kids who still need you. Maybe your list is full of things you genuinely can’t drop. On days like that, a full rest day just isn’t realistic. But pushing through isn’t the answer either. This is where micro pauses become essential. On a normal day, I can get away with 1–2 minute resets here and there. But when I’m depleted, I stretch those pauses. I’ll do 5–10 minutes of something that actually nourishes my system, slow breathing, gentle stretching, a short walk, or even sitting quietly with a cup of tea. It’s not about doing less. It’s about not letting yourself crash. These small resets keep your energy topped up so you’re not working from empty. They stop the spiral into exhaustion and help you keep going without abandoning yourself in the process. This week has reminded me how necessary this rhythm is. The last couple of weeks have been full-on. Amazing, but intense. My body is clearly trying to recover and I can feel myself dipping, tired, a little run down, low capacity. And instead of forcing myself to “push through,” I’ve been pausing more often and letting those resets hold me.

Hi, I'm Christine and I have my own business built around crafts in the UK. It is something I have come to later in life as a business. I was a Mechanical Engineer and then a Maths teacher. My health forced a reset and now I work for myself at my own pace. I love walking to keep me on track physically and mentally. Also I now embrace breathwork as a miracle for coping with stress and anxiety. I can't wait to meet others here and get ready for all 2026 has to offer (and throw at me!).
