how to never burnout again🤍

i’ve been going THROUGH it lately with burnout, so i thought i’d put together some helpful tips on how to avoid it (or resolve it in case it does happen)🕊

SIGNS OF BURNOUT

❌lack of motivation

❌nothing excites you

❌you’re feeling exhausted or hazy

as soon as any of these things creep in, i’d consider that you might be approaching burnout territory (tread carefully). there’s different signs for different people, but these are the ones i most commonly experience — know yourself & listen to your body.🤍

TO AVOID BURNOUT

📝map out your daily tasks

📝don’t overcomplicate things

📝do daily self check-ins

i always weigh my mental health on a scale of 1-10 (if i just got back from vacation, you know i’m feeling p good at a 1!) now, the goal isn’t to always be at a 1, but try sitting between a 4-6. if you feel yourself start to move towards a 7, take a serious step back & breathe.

TO FIX BURNOUT

🤍prioritize recovery

🤍DDD (delegate, delete, or delay non-pressing tasks

🤍relax & reground yourself

sometimes despite my best efforts, burnout comes around again. these are things i try to remember to do in those situations to ease my mind. if you read this far — thank you! here’s a little bonus for you:

RECHARGE ACTIVITIES

✨sleep or meditate (for low recovery)

✨exercise or book a spa day (med. recovery)

✨take a vacation (high recovery)

depending on how intense my burnout is feeling, these kinds of activities always help bring be back, relax & reground myself. i hope they help you too!

ALWAYS remember to balance work & play.

ALWAYS remember to be patient with yourself.

ALWAYS remember that burnout doesn’t last.
