What happens when you push yourself beyond your limits for too long? You burn out.

For the past several months, I intensified my efforts in every area of my life — business, training, learning, relationships, change. I was constantly worried that I wasn’t doing enough, that I was wasting my life by not being efficient enough. Then, at the peak of stress, when I was hit from all sides simultaneously, I got knocked down.

For two weeks, I was in a very strange state. My mind was foggy. I had no energy, no motivation, and no interest in anything. I was barely able to walk and couldn’t do any physical or mental tasks. I even thought I might be ill, or perhaps I was just getting old. So, I allowed myself to rest and listened to my body.

Yesterday, I woke up and realized that my mind was clear again. I did some movements, and my body felt normal, too. Today, I even did a light workout.

I realized something very important: no matter how strong my willpower is, if my body is not well, I can’t do anything.

I’ll continue my journey. I’ll push myself harder again. I’ll keep progressing and trying new things. This is my purpose.
