Girl Boss Biz: How to Stop Feeling Burnt Out!

 Hey – so have you ever felt burnt out?  Ever felt sick and tired of the same thing happening to you over and over again?  Tired of saying, “Why her and not me?”
 
Have you ever felt or needed to take the day off – like if I don’t do this I am going to have a mental break down?
 
Well, that my friend is burn out!  And I am going to help you to stop getting to that point with 4 quick tips.

• Pay attention to your body.  Be mindful.  If you have a really long meeting and it takes place once a month notice how you feel the next day.  You might need to take extra time the next morning, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
• Schedule and plan according to your lifestyle.  If you are a night owl and can crank out some creative and productive work all from 10:00 pm to 12:00 midnight, then plan accordingly.
• Me time.  Don’t just schedule it but mark it off in your calendar.  Me time can be anything that helps your mind and body.  Journaling, cooking, writing, walking, stretching, working out, reading, painting, spending time with your animals.  Whatever it is that you like schedule more of it.  Get it into your morning, afternoon and night routine.
• Last one is to reflect daily.  Rate how your day went.  How did you feel?  What is it that you didn’t do that usually makes you feel better?  What did you allow in your life? Then correct and proceed.

 
A list of boundaries will help keep you accountable and help you from having too many of those burn out days.  If we adhere to our boundaries, then we can start living a lifestyle biz on our own terms instead of having the biz/days control us.
