Hey Sis!

Are you just going through the motions, trudging along, doing your best just to survive? Are you too tired to do anything, even things you used to enjoy? Do you find yourself working harder but not catching up? You don’t have to live this way, Sis.

Today, I am sharing three signs of burnout. You can use these to determine if you are burnt out or not. If you do, I have three simple steps you can take right away to stop the madness.

I pray God uses this episode to help reorient yourself so you don’t end up sick or worse.

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Find out if you are suffering from burnout so that you can stop it before it gets worse

• Take time to decompress and enjoy yourself

• Identify your values and priorities so you can use those to guide your decisions and actions

“Anytime something hits you out of the blue, you end up having to do more damage control, which is increasingly stressful.”

Step #1: Assess
What are your priorities? Schedule them.

06.55 – Step #2: Release
Let go of some of the expectations/pressure you’re putting on yourself, and take on less. You need to rest and if you aren’t prioritizing it, your body will inevitably crash, which is simply a forced break w/ a much harder recovery.

Key Takeaway:

• You were born to live well. If you do not live well, you won’t be able to use your gifts to glorify God. Why? Because you will be too busy thinking about all the problems you’re facing and focusing on how to survive the season you’re in.
