![User Profile: Hope](http://7cupstearesources.s3.amazonaws.com/listenerImages/lWJmdn2WjpdWmmluXVeXnJjeX6-qfZzDmA!!.jpg)
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!
To address and learn about burnout, we have created a slidedeck on how to avoid burnout.
✒️ We also recommend this growth path on preventing burnout at 7 Cups.
✒️ 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.
✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words!

I was happy to discuss these ideas and I came to know the importance of the plan and system, but I needed more to regain my ideas, and I wish everyone change for the better and success.

I was also happy with the results of my test because I know myself better. I am truly social, I am happy to cooperate and help others, and I tend to be creative, participate, and feel for others.

I completed at least 5 steps. I appreciate the templates and the rating scale, to give a better idea of what needs to be prioritized, and what is the most vs least important task.

@Chloe1644 I am so glad that you found this growth path on burnout beneficial! I hope you know that if you were to able experience it that there are amazing people (chat support, peer supporters, etc) that you can reach out and talk to. Doing so will ensure that you are not alone. Self care is so important and so are you!
