Feeling Burnt Out? Here’s How to Lighten the Load Before You Break
Burnout isn’t just tired. It’s soul-tired.
It’s waking up already exhausted. It’s losing interest in the things you used to love. It’s feeling like you’re failing, even though you’re doing your best.
And the truth is? So many people are silently struggling with it, especially those juggling work, caregiving, and high expectations.
Here are a few things to help ease the weight:
1. Recognise the Signs
Are you short-tempered? Foggy-brained? Constantly overwhelmed? Burnout can show up physically, emotionally, and mentally. Naming it is the first step toward healing it.
2. Reclaim Your Energy
Block out time for rest like you would a meeting. Say no to one thing. Take a walk without your phone. These small acts of self-preservation are not selfish; they’re survival.
3. Shift from Surviving to Refueling
It’s okay if you’re just getting through the day right now. But slowly start to include one joy, sparking thing a week. Paint, read, walk by the water, whatever reminds you who you are outside of stress.
4. Use the Right Tools
Burnout recovery is not about doing more, but doing differently. Workbench for the Mind helps you build a new mental blueprint, so you stop running on empty and start operating from strength.
Let this be your turning point. Not when you fall apart, but when you finally choose to tend to the parts of you that are burnt out.
