The Quickie: How To Recover From Burnout and Find Balance
One of the things we’ve been hearing most for the last while (outside of “unprecedented times” and “You’re on mute!”) is that our friends and families are feeling hella burnt out right now.
And even though our lives have slowed down and become more minimal in some ways this past year, there’s a lot more stress, expectation and pressure overall.
95% of you that responded to our recent Instagram poll said that you’ve experienced burnout in the last few months, and 89% said you’re feeling more burnout now than you were pre-pandemic. Those are pretty startling stats, and as two people who have experienced burnout, we really want to help ya’ll identify if you’re going through it and how you can recover.
Listen along as we dive into:
- What burnout really means
- The signs you might be burnt out
- Why we’re all feeling it more than ever
- How social media can contribute to burnout
- How boundaries can help you take back control of your time, energy & wellbeing
- The importance of prioritizing sleep and wellness
- Why you need to slow down and ask for help when you need it
- Mastering your mindset and re-thinking how you measure success
- How to fall in love with your life again and find joy everyday
- Incorporating self-care daily, and not just on #selfcaresunday
- Knowing when it’s time to say “thank you, next!” to your job
We hope this episode helps you prevent or recover from burnout, because you are more than your job and productivity, and you deserve a balanced life. Sending you all lots of love.
