On today’s episode, we are going to talk about feeling overwhelmed and burnt out and what not to do, so that you can start feeling better.
If you’ve joined me for the last couple of episodes, you know we did an episode on How to Manage Overwhelm and Burnout – The Do’s and How to Manage Crisis as a Team. Today’s episode completes this trilogy as we talk about the five things NOT to do right now.
From your thoughts to your feelings and your actions, we’ll talk about what not to do when you’re burnt out or overwhelmed and why.
If you’re struggling with overwhelm right now, join me on this week’s episode as I guide you through the five things you can stop doing right now and offer helpful exercises to support you in these changes. As always, I keep it super simple and super doable so you can listen today and implement tomorrow.
