Chapter 8
Burn-out page 203
The stress of mothering
is enormous in our North American
culture. Add to that the challenge of homeschooling,
and the potential for burn-out is great. In this chapter, you’ll
find my thoughts about the causes of burnout, ideas and thoughts about
recognizing the signs of burnout, and some suggestions about what to do
when feeling overwhelmed and burned-out.
I think that the main source of burnout and stress is
conflict. Although conflict is a normal part of life and it can be
a great force for action and change, when we are faced with conflict very
few of us are comfortable with it. When that conflict is internal
conflict, our discomfort increases and our ability to function decreases.
Inner conflict can help us to rethink our present attitudes, decisions,
or actions. Yet, if we are subject to constant inner conflict, we
become overloaded and our circuits burnout.
