Recover from burnout

Now that we know what some of the signs and symptoms of burnout are (see previous post), what are some things you can do to change how you’re feeling? See below for some tips on how to recover from burnout: 

• Get enough sleep
• Connect with people we love keeps us grounded 
• Drink water
• Take inventory of where you're holding stress in your body 
• Set boundaries with yourself, work and others
• Rituals and practices: healing your spirit and mind, journaling, mediation, gratitude, mindfulness and positive self talk 
• Unplug/disconnect
• Prioritize fun
• Rest - no mindless scrolling here

Feel free to start with one or two things from the list above and see how they impact your life and how you are feeling. Something tangible you can do today is sip on one more glass of water and go to bed 5-10 minutes earlier than you usually do. Small changes that take little time to accomplish can be a game changer.
