Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic.
Like a fuel gauge running empty, acknowledge energy drain before you stall out.
Sometimes it looks like “I’m fine” on the surface while underneath you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and barely treading water.
Small shifts can help:
Reframing unhelpful thoughts
Taking real breaks (even micro-breaks count)
Giving yourself permission to pause, not push
You don’t have to wait until you’re completely burned out to care for yourself.
