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

Today I discussed boundaries with a member. Boundaries/expectations are super helpful to create healthy relationships! Thank you, I'm loving this path so far Hope.

I have encouraged a listener friend to take a break when he was stressed from school work

I don't think I'm involved enough with 7 cups to have people that I have encouraged to do things to prevent burnout, at least not now.

Covering for someone so they can take a self-care break -- I cooked when my roommate was sick.

I always encourage people to take self care into consideration because many people do not!

I encouraged a 7cup user to take personal self care breaks when they are feeling burnt out. I love this growth path by the way!

Today I helped out a listener that was struggling. It’s important to remind your peers that if they are struggling they can reach out to you or others for help. We must help those who are struggling!

Today I helped out a listener who felt uncomfortable with a chat they were having with a member. I gave the listener a few tips on what to do when situations like that happen.

I asked my listener if there was any issues, let them know there was no pressure to cary on if they weren't comfortable and that I respected them for who they are and what they do. Trying to help people ias a listener s admirable

I'm not involved enough on 7cups yet, but today I had a talk with my friend about body image, and also encouraged them to take a look at 7cups for some helpful resources!

@Hope

Thankyou so much for posting this reminder. I would love that all the amazing listeners in the community take breaks for their self care.

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.

• Reminding someone of the importance of boundaries

@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.

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.

@Hope

I haven’t done this yet but today I will offer my support to anyone that express in the listener’s support room having difficulty with a member.

I don't mind covering for someone who might be experiencing burnout ( work schedule & self-care dependenent) !

I told myself and my friend who was feeling very stressed about med entrance exams that they might need to evaluate their psychological needs again due to their symptoms of irritation, fatigue and lack of motivation.

@HopeI have discussed with a few members, regarding boundaries, such as the time, they expect you to give them and chat that is against the rules. such as sharing personal information and inapropriate  chat

@Hope

in a recent chat with a 7 Cups member, i encouraged the member to take breaks between studying to do things that they find relaxing and fun, to prevent burnout and stress-related issues.
