You're Not Alone in This

Burnout is real. Whether it's from work, business, or family—here are evidence-based strategies to help you recover and rebuild your energy.

01

Set Micro-Boundaries

Start small. Say no to one thing today. Protect 15 minutes for yourself. Research shows that even tiny boundaries reduce cortisol and restore control.

02

Practice Active Rest

Rest isn't lazy—it's strategic. Engage in activities that restore you: walking, journaling, or simply sitting in silence. Studies confirm rest improves decision-making and creativity.

03

Reconnect With Your Body

Burnout lives in your nervous system. Try breathwork, gentle movement, or progressive muscle relaxation. These techniques activate your parasympathetic nervous system and reduce stress hormones.

04

Redefine Productivity

You don't have to do it all. Focus on what truly matters. Research on essentialism shows that doing less—but better—leads to greater fulfillment and less exhaustion.

05

Seek Connection, Not Isolation

Talk to someone you trust. Social support is one of the strongest predictors of recovery from burnout. You don't have to carry this alone.

06

Give Yourself Permission to Heal

Recovery isn't linear. Some days will be harder than others. Self-compassion research shows that being kind to yourself speeds healing and builds resilience.
