UNITED STATES (TXAN 24) - Burnout doesn’t happen overnight—it creeps in slowly, fueled by overcommitment and under-recovery. Break the cycle by first recognizing the signs:
Exhaustion
Irritability
Brain fog.
Next, reassess your yeses. Every yes to something draining is a no to something restoring. Incorporate daily stress relievers like movement, journaling, or 10 minutes of silence.
Sleep, hydration, and laughter go further than caffeine or willpower.
Don’t wait for a vacation—embed recovery into your daily routine. Ask for help. Delegate. And above all, give yourself permission to rest without guilt. You are not a machine.
Recharging is your superpower.
