Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. So take care of your system today, whether that means setting boundaries at work or getting some much-needed rest. Notice where you’re minimizing your needs out of habit or for fear of being “too much.” Those instincts were learned, and they don’t have to run the show anymore. And trust that you can handle whatever reactions you get. People who truly respect you won’t fault you for prioritizing your wellbeing.
