- Demystifying burnout – A deep dive into its symptoms and remedies
- I am not my thoughts or feelings. It’s surprising how far this one will take you. Learn what it means to be relaxed again and make this your first priority. F** everything else, if necessary. Anxiety and stress don't have a chance if you aren't tense.
- If work is your support system, your life exists on shaky ground. Go out into the sun and spend a lot of time in nature. If you can't get out of bed in the morning, make it a habit to go out first thing in the morning for an hour or so. Force yourself if need be at first.
- Personal struggles become work struggles and vice versa. You can’t draw a clean box around grief and loss, or pretend that work stress can stay at work. When anxiety or self-blame start to emerge, feel it and focus on the feeling itself intensely. This makes it impossible for it to take over your mind.
- There were major gaps in my life in terms of social connections, time spent in nature, finding artistic outlets, etc. Make fear a positive experience by using it for something positive, e.g. learning how to focus on your feelings or reframing it as thrill.
- Focusing on real self-care/improvement as one’s primary purpose in life open doors internally and externally. Try all methods you can find to cope. Everyone is different and not all methods work for everybody.
