To pour into others — your work, your relationships, your responsibilities — you first need to be filled yourself.

A teapot with no water can’t serve anyone.

And if you keep boiling an empty teapot, it doesn’t just stop working — it breaks.

That’s how burn-out works, too. But you don’t have to wait until you’re running on empty.

Tune in to the early signs. Give yourself permission to rest and take time to refill your teapot by engaging in self-care activities that restore your energy.

And if it’s too much to handle alone—help is here. 💛

😔 Burnout doesn’t happen overnight. It develops over time, and many don’t notice until they’re already deep in it.

Psychologists Freudenberger & North outlined 12 stages of burnout — Ambitious beginnings slowly turn into behavioural changes that affect a person emotionally. The last stage describes severe and complete burnout — there’s total emotional and mental exhaustion that might greatly affect functioning.

Not everyone will go through all 12, or in the same order. But the later stages—inner emptiness, depressive feelings, and full burnout—are signs that urgent help is needed.

If you’ve been feeling off for a while, this post might help you put words to what you’re going through and what might be some signs to look out for.

And if any of it feels familiar, please know: you don’t have to reach the breaking point to reach out for support.
