Burnout, Overwhelm and Making Time for Reflection
Learn to say no to demands, requests, invitations, and activities that leave you with no time for yourself. Until I learned to say no, and mean it, I was always overloaded by stress. -Holly Mosier
As a therapist, I feel like I work really hard to have balance and harmony (my word of the year) in all aspects of my life. But I also acknowledge that this is often easier said than done. Sometimes my work-life balance feels off. Sometimes it’s the flow of my week or a particular day, like too much to do one day and too little the next.
Some of this is within my control, but so often the struggle is around all the things that are outside of my locus of control. It’s also checking in with myself around if this struggle is an internal one that needs to be processed and released, or and external one that involves others where I many not have a lot of control. What are your thoughts here? Is any of this relatable to you?
If you’re struggling right now, know that you’re not alone. A lot of us are struggling with burnout and overwhelm in our lives today. If you could use more help and support, please reach out to your doctor or a therapist in your area (if you don’t already have one). Know that I’m thinking of you and sending lots of love and support your way!
