I said yes to every opportunity to volunteer, attend a conference, or advance my career in some way. I only travelled when it was for work. Doing the things I really wanted to do would come later.
I finally took a vacation with my family. After being on the road for six weeks (an accomplishment I bragged about online) I was completely exhausted. One little joke from my sister and I broke down in tears. I wasn't just burnt out, I was fried,
I took some time outside to myself and cried it out. (Now that's a formula to feel better - fresh air and a good cry!) When I got back home I started doing things differently. I created routines that energized me. I adopted habits that fulfilled me. I learned to say no. I broke the cycle of burnout that had gripped me for years.
want in on the secrets to living without burnout?
But now I manage to actually make it all happen without feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
The trick is knowing my priorities,
having a plan, and
always making time for what brings me joy.
