How to Realign Before Burnout Wrecks You

Not all burnout looks like collapse.
Sometimes it just looks like success without peace.
Or productivity without presence.

You might be hitting the goals, showing up for everyone, and still feeling a quiet ache behind the scenes.
That’s not weakness.
That’s misalignment.

Thanks for reading Maverick

Before you power into the weekend, pause and ask yourself:


1. Where are you choosing expectation over design

Are you making decisions based on what others need from you… or what God actually created you for?

⚠️ Warning signs: overcommitting, second-guessing, living on “shoulds.”

Alignment move: make one decision today that reflects your God-given wiring, not external pressure.

👉🏻 Want to get clear on how God uniquely designed you to move through life?
Start with your
.1% Effect Discovery Report – your handcrafted, faith-rooted Human Design guide.


2. Where are you forcing instead of flowing

Are you trying to “make it happen” in a space where grace has already lifted?

⚠️ Warning signs: exhaustion, resentment, resistance, disconnection from God.

Alignment move: name one area where you're striving, and ask for a new rhythm or release.

👉🏻 Need help discerning what’s yours to carry and what’s not? Join us in Maverick Awakening for aligned insight and Spirit-led community.


3. Where are you neglecting the 5Fs

Faith. Family. Fitness. Fellowship. Field.
These five areas form your foundation, and when one suffers, all do.

⚠️ Warning signs: chronic imbalance, reactive habits, shallow wins

Alignment move: Reflect on each of the 5Fs - Faith, Family, Fitness, Fellowship, and Field - and identify the one area that feels most out of rhythm right now. Name it. Own it. And commit to one small step that brings it closer to alignment.

👉🏻 Not sure where to begin? Take the Clarity Assessment to find out where your alignment is strong - and where it’s silently draining you. This 10-minute check-in will show you exactly where to focus.


You don’t need a meltdown to make a shift.
You need clarity.
You need courage.
You need alignment.

Everything good flows from there.
