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

@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.

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.
