What is Burnout (and Why You Might Be Ignoring the Signs)
Burnout isn’t just feeling tired—it’s full-on exhaustion, emotionally and physically. It sneaks in slowly, especially when you’re always saying yes, working too hard, or constantly putting everyone else’s needs before your own.
Common signs of burnout include:
Constant fatigue
Mood swings or irritability
Feeling numb or unmotivated
Trouble sleeping
Brain fog and forgetfulness
If any of that sounds familiar… keep reading, sis.
How to Stop Burnout in Its Tracks
You don’t have to make massive changes overnight. These small, intentional actions make a big difference:
1. Set Boundaries Like a Boss
Say no. Protect your time. Give yourself permission to rest without guilt. You are not a machine.
2. Prioritize Sleep
I know, easier said than done—but seriously, your body and brain need rest. Set a nighttime routine, ditch the screen an hour before bed, and let your body recharge.
3. Move Your Body
Whether it’s a walk around the block, dancing in your kitchen, or a full-on gym session—movement releases endorphins that fight stress naturally.
4. Journal It Out
Get those thoughts out of your head and onto paper. Sometimes all we need is space to feel. Even five minutes a day helps.
5. Take Breaks From Social Media
Social media comparison is the thief of joy. Unplug. Reconnect with the real world. Breathe.
