Taking Care of Each Other - Preventing Burnout at 7 Cups

Hope March 21st, 2021

Hi everyone! This is a forum post linked to the path 'Preventing Burnout at 7 Cups'

enlightenedWhat have you done today/recently to prevent burnout in a fellow community user?

This can look like:

• Encouraging self-care

• Reminding someone of the importance of boundaries

• Covering for someone so they can take a self-care break

Encouraging self-care. Also gave them words of appreciation and just encouragement in general. Reminded them of all the good they had done.

It's important to know we can't pour from an empty cup, and how important is to take self care breaks and say no when it is necessary. Thank you for the wonderful path.

It does have some good way to asses ourselves, what we are capable of and what we are not and when it becomes too much.

A fellow listener was venting some frustrations to me so I encouraged them to take a break and then when she came back some tips for setting boundaries to help prevent her frustrations and advising her on when it was ok to block and report a user who wouldn't respect the boundaries she had in place.

I think boundaries are often overlooked because we genuinely want to help everyone, but some people aren't here for help, and even if they are it's OK to set boundaries with people who need supported.

@Hope I've been trying really hard to take breaks and prioritize my mental health recently. I've sometimes felt like I'm being pulled in so many directions (school, internship, job) that I find myself sometimes having difficulty juggling it all. Taking breaks is so, so important, and I've come to learn that it helps me reset, calm down, and refresh my mind so that I can do my best on the rest of my tasks.

@Hope

I placed a boundary I was nervous to initiate

That was really helpful, we’re notice something that we all experience and there’s things that we can do to combat it

@HopeI haven't engaged with enough listeners to recognize burnout in them, however, I encouraged breaks and self care to members who confided in me about it.
