Hustle is a trending word but it can lead to exhaustion. Imagine 🤔💭You got up this morning with a sinking feeling and now, on the way to work, there’s a still a sense of gloom hanging over you. Perhaps it’s guilt: For snapping at your kids, and then your partner, the previous evening. Or maybe it’s exhaustion: You were awake at 3am, a work to-do list cycling through your mind. These are some of the signs that you could be suffering from burnout. I’ve learned that oftentimes the problem might be that you’re experiencing all this stress, but you don’t fully understand what’s going on. Mindfulness can help develop insight. Stressed people with packed schedules might balk at the idea of even a three-minute meditation during work hours. But if that’s our reaction, it could be a reason to check in with ourselves. Three minutes really isn’t a long time. A cup of herbal tea is not an indulgence. A walk, even a short one, can serve a similar function—so long as it’s mindful, too, and not simply devoted to churning over worries. With a calmer mind, it can be time for some problem-solving, ideally with the help of a sympathetic manager. Perhaps, over time, your role has changed to the extent that it’s become unmanageable. Perhaps ambition has driven you to overextend; or a particular interaction with a colleague or manager has become fraught. Perhaps you’re a parent overwhelmed with kids, homeschooling or balancing working from home. Burnout can be managed. Don’t beat yourself up and don’t throw in the towel. Identify the source, get a strategy and step away when possible. * * * #2021bujo #bujo_planner #plannercommunity #plannerlove #planner #plannerbabe #plannerboss #plannerlife #plannerspread #blackgirlsplantoo #blkwmnplan #plannerinspiration #minimalplanner #2021goals #plannerinserts #plannerstickers #lifecoach #followforfollow #follow4followback #littledoodles #bulletjournalcommunity #bujospread #bujoinspo #lasvegaslocals #bujoinspiration #biblejournaling #bujobeauties #coffeelover (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLaG2Yun2xI/?igshid=uvr4ksxgf476
