What have you done to prevent burnout today? Preventing Burnout at 7 Cups

Was online less today to give myself a little break and just focus on me

I have done self care activiites consistently this week

@Hope I took a long rest today <3

@Hope

I take a walk outside for a rest. And I share my feelings in Sharing Circle.

Crying

I did some mindfulness and decided to disconnect to practice self care activities @Hope

@Hope

Focusing on taking care of my body today. Will practice yoga later and also taking most of the afternoon off from 7 cups.

@Hope Today I took a coloring break. It's something I loved as a child and decided to do it again as an adult. It is so fun and relaxing.

I have decided to take a self-care break today from replying to member after spending 5 days consecutively in doing so😊

@Hope

I spent less time speaking with members today once I see they have reached their own mental resolution

@Hope

I watched some of my favourite anime under a cozy blanket! :)

@Hope

I made sure to spend some time out of the house. I also got plenty of sleep and worked on a few crafts .

Pinning down an issue is a bit of a struggle for me. Sometimes I don't really realize that a member is already abusive until about 30 minutes or so later. Realizing this, I tried to apply what was recommended in the forums and I think I am doing better.

@Hope

I completed my listener verification today so I am now going to take a break to do my hobbies before I do any other chatstoday.

@Hope

I have continued my break from chats today and focused on completing other areas of my internship for 7 cups.

@Hope

I chat and help people on 7 cups if I'm exhausted by school work or just don't wanna do it

@Hope

I take chats for a certain amount of time each and if the time exceeds i schedule it for next day or say them to connect to other listeners.I take breaks after chats.

I do take one to two days off each week.

@Hope

To prevent burnout I went to bed earlier and woke up refreshed the next day and finished the task I needed to do for school

@Hope. I took care of myself and went for a drive to take a break from never ending amounts of school work

@Hope

Reduced my time for requests to focus on my online course

I politely referred member to znkghet listener since I was triggered by his issues. It wasn't easy

@Hope I’m going to finish this post, then I’m going to take a break from 7 Cups for the day. I’m gonna drink water and get ready to sleep.

@Hope I've been working on my math all day today and putting 7 Cups 2nd.

I took some time this morning to walk to a coffee shop instead of being on cups as I usually do.

@Hope

What have you done to prevent burnout today?

Today, I made myself slow down. I turned off my computer and did not reply to any messages until the afternoon, because I had other priorities in the morning.I have learned that it is perfectly acceptable to say "no".

Last month, I took a 10-day break around the holidays, in order to relax and spend extra time with relatives. I let long-term members know the dates I would be away, and posted on my profile that I was unavailable until XX date.

I've started taking multiple self-care breaks from 7 Cups. I feel this is needed for myself because I was once very hooked to this platform and sort of made it my personal mission to be as helpful and dedicated as I could. But now I need to take time for me and make sure that I'm okay before I ever give myself fully to anyone else's needs. I need to nurture my own and this is my time to do that.

@Hope Pet therapy! Specifically dogs!

@Hope Looked out the window of the train instead of working.

I stopped answering emails as soon as I left work today!

And I ate a yummy dessert after dinner.

@Hope I only take a very few chats at a time now, and learn more after each chat. Keeps it mellow for me.

I am retired I have lots of balance in my life in regard to 7 cups. It’s important to enjoy your time here and not get overwhelmed . 💕

Balance always here on cups and self care .. I am retired so I do have time for all . 💕

@Hope I did yoga and meditation, I am doing my duties in a slow pace today since it is weekend.

:)

@Hope

I spent more time getting to know more about the causes of Burnouts, avoiding them positively and staying healthy mentally.

I use to chewing a chewing gum haha

Limit the frequency and duration of chats,

Select topics i take or not.

Being aware of my limits and boundaries and enforce them

Take time for self care, and being outside of 7cups

self care

I cut my task I needed to do in half today. Time to relax between task.

I took some time for myself today. This morning I took my dogs out for a nice walk at a local beauty spot and then later met a friend for lunch. 🌹
