See the Truck Before the Crash: Honoring Your Needs to Avoid Burnout

"I didn't even see the truck."

This simple phrase reveals a profound truth about modern life: we often move through our days disconnected from our own needs. Like a distracted driver missing a stopped delivery truck, we can become mentally scattered, juggling work and personal responsibilities while ignoring critical signals from our minds and bodies.

The key insight is that most personal "crashes" can be prevented by recognizing and honoring our core needs. By practicing self-awareness and setting intentional boundaries, we can create a life with more joy, peace, and authentic living.
