Self-care isn't a luxury, it is a necessity. Long-term stress will take its toll and affect you emot

Most of us know the ways to care for ourselves, but doing it is very different. People pleasers put others before themself and then burnout creeps up. Your actions are showing your teams, your children and those around you that self-abuse is acceptable, so they will do the same. You can't pour from an empty cup, self-care is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

Setting Limits

Mentally resilient people set limits.

Complainers and negative people are bad news because they wallow in their problems and fail to focus on solutions. They want people to join their pity party so that they can feel better about themselves. People often feel pressure to listen to complainers because they don’t want to be seen as callous or rude, but there’s a fine line between lending a sympathetic ear and getting sucked into their negative emotional spiral.

You can avoid this only by setting limits and distancing yourself when necessary. Think of it this way: if the complainer had a toxic transmittable infection, would you sit for hours and be exposed to the toxins, or would distance yourself? You should do the same with complainers, because they can be just as infectious. A great way to set limits is to ask complainers how they intend to fix the problem. They will either quiet down or redirect the conversation in a productive direction.
