5 signs of burnout
⚡️ Signs of Burnout ⚡️
Heightened use of alcohol, 420, caffeine, junk food, screen time, etc.
Feeling exhausted when you try to do anything, but restless when you try to sleep or relax
Lack of interest, motivation, or satisfaction in doing things you once enjoyed
Dominated by negative thoughts + emotions — irritable, pessimistic, cynical, victim mentality, shame + blame game
Physical symptoms — skin breakouts, cold sores, gastrointestinal issues, more prone to catching a virus or infection
When I’m feeling this way, that’s a sign my nervous system needs to be tended to! It’s time to get back to basics —
💦 hydration
🍗 nutrition
😴 sleep hygiene
🚶 gentle movement
✍🏽 journaling
🧘 nervous system exercises to release stress, integrate difficult emotions, and build up my resources / resilience
The tricky part, if you’re burnt out due to people pleasing or perfectionism, is that you might not know how to carve out that time for rest + self-care in the first place! You might be struggling with a habitual impulse to overcommit, a a fear of letting people down, or a harsh inner critic who doesn’t give you a break.
