What have you done to prevent burnout today?
This can a variety of things like:
• Saying no to a task because you have enough on your plate
• Taking part in self-care activities
• Taking a self-care break from 7 Cups
Today I checked in with my mentor and got support. I also spent time outside getting some exercise. I enjoyed playtime with my newly adopted kitten.
@Hope I let a member know when I had to leave during a chat so that I wouldn't feel overwhelmed/like I was taking on too much.
@Hope Taking out the time to watch my favourite TV show!
@Hope Postponing work to the next day because i reached my daily limit.
@AskTara It is so important to set boundaries in our lives- and with ourselves. If we push ourselves to our absolute limits, pour from a cup with only few drops so to speak, we are only harming ourselves for the following day. We are pouring from an empty cup. When recognizing our limits, and honoring them, we care for ourselves and prevent burnout. :)
@Hope Today, I have set aside time to be a listener instead of forcing myself to immediately jump on and get it over with. Instead, I am prioritizing other tasks that are causing me stress, knowing that having them finished is going to allow me to be more present and a better listener when I do log on to chat with members.
@Hope I told other listeners i needed to take a break!
@Hope
My way to prevent burnout is to take breaks. It has been a little tough with the internship program but I have made sure to only listen for a few hours every day and then turn it off.

What have you done to prevent burnout today?
I have taken the morning off to write.
I played a game.
I looked at my schedule and then looked at what I needed to do and what I could do and what I didn't need to do.
@Hope
I have taken time to eat in spite of a full day of responsibilities, and I used my breaks to relax.
