Healing Burnout

The Body Grievers® Club

Burnout is highly celebrated in our culture, in America especially. Are you familiar with the phrase, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead?” We’re expected to hustle and grind. When I was very young, I connected my worth to my doing. The attention and compliments I got when I did something that made someone else happy felt really good. Particularly living in a fat body, if I was productive, I was worthy.

How can we go about healing from burnout that keeps our cup empty?

• Realign with your values.
• Prioritize what’s important and what’s urgent. Delegate what you can, which may mean humbling yourself to be able to accept help.
• Detach yourself from the outcome.
• Find new hobbies. What is play for you?

Can you pair a task you don’t like doing with a task you do like doing? What can you do to delegate and conserve your energy? Burnout is perpetual, but it can be healed.
