In this episode, I talk about how I realized I was burned out (rather than just feeling icky about starting a new project), and my plan for fighting burnout, using ideas from the book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, by Emily and Amelia Nagoski. #1 go for a long walk/coffee/call a friend (checks off both exercise and positive social interaction), #2 write all my thoughts in my journal (ticks off creative expression- also this podcast!), #3 make tea and just stare out the window (helps me when I am feeling overwhelmed to just do nothing, an idea I got from Brene Brown) and #4 forgive myself for needing extra time and for not getting all the "to do's" list checked off today, and move the rest of today's to do's to Monday. Action item: Come here for ideas when you are feeling burned out and come up with a plan to fight burnout today. (Side note, I feel MUCH better after having created this podcast, so extra thanks to you all for listening!)
