Course 2: Becoming a 7 Cups Leader - (Discussion #11) Avoiding Burnout

@Heather225

One thing I learned is to remember my “why.” I think this is really important, because 7cups should be a passion, not a chore, and we don’t want it turning into one.

I will be mindful to meet my physical needs. I will set strict boundaries for myself in terms of time and the amount of work I take on. I will also switch between tasks to provide myself some variety, and avoid tiring my brain out. I will also communicate my needs to team members and leaders.

What did you learn about self-care?

I learned that self-care is really important and it's okie and good to practice self-care. Neglecting ourselves prevents us from taking care of members and being positive leaders. If I notice that I'm experiencing burnout, I should start to take steps to get better and put myself first. I’ve learned that we are the best judge of our own personal limits and that it's okie to say no and breaks when we feel that we have exceeded our limits.

What ways can you prevent burn out:

Prioritizes simple things like sleep, eating, alone time, and drinking water. Setting boundaries with members and time spent on cups. Making sure you are continuing to work on the balance in your life and that the things that you are spending your time on you are passionate about rather than draining.

Hello how is everyone 🤗

I have learned that burnout is a state of stress that leads to many consequences on a psychological and physical level, and this does not prevent me from continuing to learn, knowledge and growth, but also I must take care of myself when I feel burnout because it leads to a decrease in passion in the performance of the work that I do with it.

What I learned is Self-Care is the most important thing that you can do for yourself and if I’m not taking care of myself, I can’t listen to the members or anyone. What I’ll do to avoid burnout is make sure that I’m not taking on too much and that when I start to get overwhelmed, I’ll speak up and let someone know.

As I was looking at the slides, I learned that there was a correlation between depression and burnout. To stay healthy and avoid burnout, I will take time for myself and practice self care.

@Heather225

I have learned that my work does save lives, especially via working with purpose and stepping up to help others. I have also learned the important of growing through the path of problems. Furthermore, I have learned that it’s important to try my very best to avoid burnout! I will complete daily journaling, check-ins with myself, and taking computer breaks as needed!
