Mentioned on Ep 026: 4 Things NOT to do when you’re feeling burned out and stressed

Part 2: 4 things not to do when you’re stressed and burned out
Number one: Keep doing things you’re doing. Even one small change can help. Getting accountability partner is key to stay on track. I recommend an accountability partner who will be honest and direct. Sometimes that is not a loved one or family member because they let you off the hook. You can consider a coach or non-biased friend as your accountability partner.
Number two: Dwell on it at night causing a lack of sleep each night. I get it. In the past, I was not able to shut off my brain at night. I set up an evening routine and stuck to my boundaries. The big one is no screen time an hour before bedtime.
Number three: Drown troubles in bottle, food, or something addictive. I did this with emotional eating and shopping. For me, sometimes that was McConnell’s ice cream or gummy bears or clothing shopping. Overall, it ended up in physical symptoms with GI discomfort of emotional eating or hundreds of dollars out the door in clothing stores.
Number four: Rehash issues with anyone who will listen. Yes, we all like to vent sometimes and get things out of our brains. If you need to do this, one option is to do this in the car as you drive home so no one else has to listen to you – your family and friends and partners are not there to be problem solvers. I honestly didn’t think about this statement before or during my burnout phase. But it is SO true. We don’t love our significant others or spouses because they solve all our problems. That is not their role in our lives. Reset yourself if you’re relying on others in this way.
