Course 1, Discussion 3: Avoiding Burnout

Hope December 5th, 2022
.

7 Cups is founded on a community of passionate volunteers who lovingly dedicate their time to providing support.

You may face what is called burnout during your journey. You may have already faced this in your real life. Burnout is very real and must be recognized. You can't help fuel someone else when your tank is empty, after all!

I have completed up to step 20 of the burnout prevention path! It is interesting to know these sorts of things, and how your mental health can be affected by pretty much anything, including dedicating your time to others. I will make sure to give myself enough breaks and time too:)

- I completed the 5 steps! And I've learned some stuff. I created a list of my roles: the time commitment and their values. I have a better understanding of my tasks now. 

 I plan on taking self care breaks when I am tired instead of pushing through the work now that I understand burnout. I used to simply power through it.

Hello there! I have taken the growth path of burnout prevention even before starting my Leadership Program. It was very informative, inspiring, and beneficial to helping me maintain my well-being and understand the signs of burnout on a deeper level. As far as I can remember, I have completed at least 5 steps. Thank you so much for making this important growth part a part of this program. 😊💖

Complete!

✒️ Activity: Take 5 steps on the burnout prevention path linked above. Post in this thread to let us know you have completed at least 5 steps.

1) take self-care breaks: i took time from 7 Cups to exercise

2) too much of a good thing is a bad thing: i monitored my video game time and cut some of it off in order to read and write a little

3) self-caring the right way! : i practiced good mental, physical and spiritual hygienics and wellness today and every day

4) know when to say no: i said no to abusing my video game priveleges for the day and i spent some of this game time to instead learn some cooking from my mom

5) communicate your needs: i spoke with three awesome, awesome Mentors here on 7 Cups regarding my progress in the LDP program
