    1. The balance of knowing when to engage, and when to release, is at the core of human wellbeing. Empathy fatigue and burnout is real. Find time to let go and self-care. People are suffering. Stand up and fight with them. Do both. Not one all the time. Your body knows. Listen.

    Some people do not get to choose. But if you can, experiment with finding your balance. Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone who is fighting is to provide them with space to rest.

      It's wondrous to understand that even if I can not fight intently I can offer support, cheer and space for those who are fighting - mitigating their fatigue, empowering their cause.

        And yes, I used "self-care" as a verb on purpose. It should be a conscious action. Used in a sentence: "Go hither and self-care." How you self-care will differ from others. Listen inwards.
