How to get out of a Spiritual Slump or Spiritual Burnout

[@justsomeone1712]

Your videos are so wholesome. You sincerely care about your viewers, giving good advice and don’t make this channel to become famous. I love that! There are so many influencers, who only care about increasing their followers! You are authentic and I love that!

[@TheNorseWitch]

Thank you so much 🥹❤️

[@ash_and_lavender]

love that you mentioned Harmony Nice😌 She’s where I started as well

I found much of my burnout came when it was time to move on, from Christianity to Judaism to pagan, etc.

[@quasi8180]

This is what i like about paganism the ability to step back from the gods and evaluate. I never had that in christianity yiu have to be on 24/7

I have had the worst burn out and I’ve been ignoring it heavily and I haven’t practiced for weeks and it’s been a lot. I can barely get through school so getting back into my practice was not going to happen. I needed this video because I have felt terrible for ignoring my practice especially sense I started getting into major deity work before I became burnt out and I feel bad for taking a break. I tried to get back into today and it just didn’t work out. And I needed this. Thank you

I'm going through a tarot burnout atm. I've had times like that before but never THAT bad (I literally can't even look at my decks!) x.x thank you for the video

It's been a while I've commented on your videos let alone watched one bc i work full time now! Because I work full time though it's really easy to get into burnout and spiritual burnout is no exception. Burnout is a self diagnosable (at least within the US it is now recognized as an illness) however, work places will tell you it lasts two weeks, psychologist say it can last up to 6 months. So always double check if you have a slump vs. burnout. As for spiritual burnout I find its most manageable but not any less frustrating. I dont need magick to live, I've lived 17 years without it. BUT because it's so built into habit, breaking away from it feels wrong and unproductive. It feels like any second I'm not doing my rituals, Its wasted time. I then see my burnout as an obstacle. But a coworker put it well (at least her spiritual team did), stop looking at things as an obstacle and instead as an opportunity. Maybe step away and focus on that one thing you needed to do. Practice self care, envelope yourself in the mundane for a bit. People avoid doing this because its mundane but when It comes to how complicated the world of magick can be, everything can get very confusing, very overwhelming, very quickly. Maybe mundane is the answer to your problem you've been doing spell after spell after spell to remedy and speedrun recovery. Its nice to watch your videos again now that I have a better work/life balance, I hope to see more talks like this in the future ❤

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I need to stop putting so much pressure on myself for starters, go back to basics and set up a witchy schedule using fresh ideas on how to do things. I loved the ideas you presented. Thank you!!!!

[@celiasahugo5655]

Great and honest words 🌸. I think spirituality and life just goes on like a wheel of the year. There are seasons and we can learn our own rhythm and feel comfortable with this. Thank you!!

[@tarajazdzewski5216]

I am really appreciative of this video! I have been a practicing pagan for over 15 years and found myself in a slump when life was a massive storm. I personally have found solace in going back to the basics and also as you said finding witch youtube a comfort. We didn't have this sort of access when I was just starting out and I love the resources I can now send my children and their friends to. I love being able to watch your videos and ones like The Green Witch and Witch of Wonderlust because I know that you are caring, give solid info, and use respectful language which is great for new witchlings. (and frankly for us old folks too)

[@TheNorseWitch]

Awww I appreciate this so much!! Honestly! ❤️ please know that - same. I‘m in extreme stress at the moment so my practice sometimes ends up on the backburner. It’s normal ❤️

[@jenniferleftwich7]

I was feeling this way about 2 weeks ago, I was getting bored with my practice I needed to feel more magic in my daily routine I just needed more magic in my life, so I went back to using days of the week spells, and I've been doing that for 2 weeks and so far it's helped bring more of that magic into my everyday routine and life, and it's working with the gods and goddess of that day, even if I didn't need to do to do that spell I did anyway, if it's a spell that has to do with protection I just worked on mine,, , I'm very easy to get bored my ADHD can get the best of me sometimes, 😂😂

[@citizenontherun6248]

I have been looking for a video like this. thank you I have been struggling with this

[@abbyjustman3484]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been working on pulling myself out of a slump for a few days, but it’s slow going. This should be helpful!

[@TheNorseWitch]

You’ll get out of it at some point 🥰❤️ just don’t pressure yourself too much!

[@cassyburney2924]

Sure will , and thank you bente!!!

[@jannickestefansen4688]

Hi Bente! Really love and appreciate your videos 💜 I just wanted to share that, and that I have a migraine tip for you. I started taking Q-10 two months ago, there's been a clear decrease of migrene days for me, and it's just amazing. I used to have migraine 12-15 days a month, and this October it's been 9 so far. September 14 and August 22. You might get some relief! Those days might not sound dramatically much, but I've really noticed the difference in my mood. (I'm not selling anything😊)

[@quasi8180]

I havent called myself pagan in a hot minuet cause I had my doubts but i feel like the gods are ressurging.

[@psychicrat]

I haven't commented on a video in forever life has been SO busy but great video as always!!!! me and my friends have gotten into a conversation about witchcraft and ive sent them all over hopefully

[@TheNorseWitch]

Awww 🥰❤️

[@AstralHealthGuy]

I always take a step back whenever it's going well. It's like I have a fear of success. I'm like that with a lot of things in my life. I agree with the harmony nice videos It's just a shame she deleted a lot of her videos. I'm glad to found your channel, it's the first witchy channel I've really liked since she left. You're shop looks great, can't wait to do some shopping soon as I get paid.

[@TheNorseWitch]

Oh my thats such a big compliment 🥹❤️❤️❤️

[@AstralHealthGuy]

Very wise words, thank you for the insight, knowledge and understanding! Hail Woden, Thor, and Freya. Hail the gods and goddess, Skòl💀🍻

[@0mack0]

I toke a break and now I don't feel connected to spirituality... Even though I'm still interested, I feel like I'm lost I don't know how to start all over again.

[@TheNorseWitch]

Have you tried just restarting with the topic that most interests you? ☺️

[@0mack0]

@@TheNorseWitch I'm in the process of doing that!

[@citizenontherun6248]

any advice for wavering faith? I believe this may be a part of my burnout as well

[@TheNorseWitch]

Maybe try to figure out the background… is there something you seriously doubt? Or is it maybe something you brought into the new religion from another religious system unconsciously?

[@citizenontherun6248]

@@TheNorseWitch thank you for your reply. I believe some self reflection is required for sure. I struggle with my faith due to my background of being raised a Mormon. I appreciate you and your videos so much ❤️ and I can’t wait to dive further into my craft

[@TheNorseWitch]

Maybe reflect a little bit on whether you actually believe in your new faith or whether you maybe just ran from your previous one 🙊

I'm not sure if this falls under the same category. but, lately I've been feeling disconnected. My deities are Freya and Freyr, and in the beginning everything was beautiful and magical and now it's like the honeymoon is over. I keep trying to reconnect and just recently had my first connection with Odin that put me back on track for awhile but I fell into a slump again, I don't wear my Moljinir as much as I used to. I'm sure this is normal but I would love to reconnect I miss my time spent with Freya

[@TheNorseWitch]

I feel like that’s totally normal. It’s the same way as in human relationships. At first everything is new and exciting and then of course daily life kicks in and it gets…. Well normal. I think what’s important is to think about why exactly you’re working with them. Do you still feel like there’s a need to?

[@TheTruthseekerman]

Been at spiritual burnout many times. Thank you for video.
