There are seasons when even the strongest hearts need rest. When your mind runs faster than your body can keep up, and your compassion for yourself feels out of reach. Find small havens to help you slow down, exhale, and rediscover calm in small, steady ways. Because healing from burnout isn’t about doing more, it’s about remembering who you are when you stop trying so hard.
That’s the intention behind the Burnout Recovery Affirmation Cards, created by author and burnout expert Carrie Severson. Each of the 44 cards offers a grounded affirmation paired with soothing imagery of nature, such as sunsets, rivers, butterflies, and forests, to gently regulate your nervous system and restore emotional balance. Use them to start your morning with clarity or end your day with self-compassion, your daily cue to pause, breathe, and come home to yourself.
Fun Fact: These affirmations were developed through Carrie Severson’s own burnout recovery journey and refined through workshops and seminars that have helped hundreds find balance again.
