What have you done to prevent burnout today? Preventing Burnout at 7 Cups

@Hope

I am taking time in self-care activities later today. 

Today I said no to spending 1 hour with someone.

@Hope

I did my physical therapy exercises while enjoying music, and spent some fun time with my grandchild.😊

Im trying to take part in listener support room more rather than taking requests. And im also focusing on studying for my uni. : )

@Hope

focusing more on my studies and spending time in the listener support room 

I have felt unmotivated and have not got any time to talk with anyone here on the chats but I have focused more at university.

I said no to meet up with a friend because i was feeling anxious

@Hope

in order to prevent burnout and stress today, i did some exercise and listened to some music!

Recognizing how much I can handle at one time is often difficult for me. I always want to help more and give more, but my ability to juggle multiple tasks can definitely put me in a tail spin to a quick experience of burn out. Learning how to practice self-care is a work in progress. It actually was a totally new idea to me a short time before joining 7 cups. Right now, one way to provide self-care is to not allow myself to isolate and become myopic. Being accountable on 7 cups, and helping spread smiles, is actually healthy self-care for me. I am so thankful for my mentor, who compassionately and graciously guides, helps and recommends things I should consider in order to avoid burn out. I don't have to do a bunch of things at 7 cups to have a positive impact here. I am learning to recognize my limitations and be ok with them. Maybe sometime later on I'll be ready for a more demanding role. I am actually thrilled to be learning how to do my part at 7 cups, in the role that is a good fit for me! Many heartfelt thanks to my wise mentor, who knew why the present role I participate in was the right fit!

Today I took time away from 1:1 chats. 

I also spent some time deciding what academy program that I would like to apply to and what leadership position would make the most sense for me, my strengths and interests and the time I have to offer 

I took the time to take a nice, long walk and really enjoy the time outside, noticing how the season is progressing in my area (trees are finally budding, the green beginnings of perennial flowers are starting to push up from the ground)
