Burnout, Self-Care, Self-Love
When you express compassion towards another person, you wrap them in a kind and caring energy. Within that energy, that person feels your love, empathy and desire to ease their struggles.
For many people, perhaps even for you, it’s easy to express compassion when your loved ones are undergoing hardships.
But can you direct that compassion inward?
When you’re tired, overwhelmed, and feeling the signs of burnout, can you express love and forgiveness towards yourself?
It can be a little difficult, right?
You might even feel guilty about practicing self-compassion. And this guilt likely stems from internalizing a few myths about self-compassion.
What Self-Compassion Is Not
It isn’t self-indulgent
Self-compassion isn’t a convenient excuse to “treat yourself”. Rather, it’s a deliberate practice of directing kindness inwards, especially when you’re scattered, forgetful, and drained from overworking yourself.
You aren’t a stone wall, immune to the daily hustle and bustle. You’re human. You feel things. You need things. You desire things.
You especially need time for yourself to avoid burning out.
It isn’t selfish
Love and kindness is an infinite resource. When you enjoy it for yourself, you can create more and share it with the people around you.
You’re entitled to appreciate and celebrate yourself. I encourage that you do so, and often.
When you love and care for yourself, your improved well-being helps you recover and shields you from burnout.
It isn’t for the weak
Self-compassion is for the strong.
When your inner and outer worlds pull you in every direction, highlight your flaws, and drain your energy, it’s difficult to be kind to yourself.
But having the strength to express kindness and forgiveness to yourself when you’re feeling burned out…
That demands incredible strength and resolve.
How Does Self-Compassion Help You Avoid Burnout?
Burning out often leads to feeling guilty because you know you can do more or do better. This adds to the frustration and other symptoms that accumulate after pushing yourself too hard for too long.
At this point, you’re exhausted, stressed, and desperate for a solution.
Self-compassion protects you from reaching this critical breaking point, by encouraging you to take care of your body and mind.
Expressing kindness to yourself teaches you to accept your short-comings. Forgiving yourself gives you permission to learn and grow from your stumbles.
What are some challenges in your own life right now? What events are leaving you drained or stressed? Keep these in mind as you read through the following tips for practicing self-compassion.
4 Tips on How to Cultivate Self-Compassion
#1 Practice Mindfulness
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, sit down in a comfortable chair and close your eyes.
Listen to your body.
Do you feel any tightness or heaviness? How about any aches or tingling? Notice them and accept they exist.
How about your mind?
Do you feel like your thoughts are scattered? Are you experiencing moments of self-doubt or guilt? Notice them and accept they exist.
Be fully present within your body and mind. This self-compassion exercise helps you accept your thoughts and feelings without assigning judgment.
Self-compassion isn’t about fixing yourself. Rather, it helps you notice your struggles and accept that they’re a natural part of life.
#2 Forgive Yourself
Perfection is a myth.
The faster that sinks in, the quicker you’ll recover from mistakes.
If you’ve set your New Year’s intention but you’ve already fallen off track, take a moment to accept that you’ve stumbled. Forgive yourself, and then take small actions to get back on track.
The trick to preventing burnout is shifting your perspective.
Don’t judge yourself for the number of times you’ve fallen. Rather, celebrate each time you practice self-compassion by forgiving yourself and standing back up.
#3 Make Space for Your Inner Advocate
You’re probably deeply familiar with your inner critic.
Sometimes your inner critic is helpful. She points out areas where you can improve. But sometimes she is overflowing with pessimism. She fills your mind with self-doubt and worry.
It’s time to introduce your inner critic to your inner advocate.
When your inner critic faults you for unfinished errands or pushes you to overwork yourself, your inner advocate will be your voice of reason.
Each time your inner critic slings negativity at you, let your inner advocate shield you with reminders of your strengths and achievements.
You’ve done so much to get to where you are today. Your inner advocate can be your spokesperson for self-kindness and encouragement.
#4 Give Yourself a Break
Try driving a car without any gas in the tank. It just doesn’t work.
It’s the same when you burn out. Your body and mind won’t function the way you need them to.
Self-compassion gives you permission to take breaks when you need to.
And it doesn’t have to be a week-long vacation; it can be a night to yourself.
Practice sensory self-care by running a warm bath with candles. Massage on your favorite lotion. Eat a wholesome meal.
These brief moments of self-compassion teach you that breaks are necessary to your well-being.
Love Yourself Today
Self-compassion is challenging. It’s difficult to accept and love ourselves, especially when we’ve fallen short of our goals.
You build self-compassion into your daily life by prioritizing it and making it a habit. To form a long-lasting habit, you practice it deliberately and consistently.
Self-compassion is no exception. When you practice the above tips everyday, it becomes easier to recover from your mistakes and to forgive your shortcomings.
To help you create the habit of self-compassion, I’m gifting you with my free From Burnout to Balance 7-Day Self-Love Challenge.
During these 7 days, we’ll look at what’s really going on beneath the signs of burnout and I’ll give you simple strategies for how to compassionately turn things around so you can get on the path towards balance and enjoying your life (again).
If you’re ready to break out of the burnout cycle and desire to be…
- Relaxed and confident, knowing you’re tending to the most important priorities
- Energized, clear and focused
- Calm, easy-going and peaceful
- Sleeping like a baby and waking up rested

Burnout, Self-Care, Self-Love
2020 has arrived and if you look around, you’ll see people setting New Year’s resolutions for themselves.
But you might feel a little skeptical.
You’ve already set resolutions for yourself in the past, only to be greeted with failure and disappointment.
You’re not alone either.
Surveys have shown that 80% of people don’t fulfill their New Year’s resolutions. People quit, often after experiencing signs of burnout.
Maybe it’s time to try something different. Instead of setting a resolution, try setting a New Year’s intention.
The Difference Between a Resolution and an Intention
Setting a resolution is often related to external goals. It’s usually accompanied by a grand statement that everything will change.
New Year, new person, right?
We start the New Year, engines roaring, but fizzle out after a few months.
Life gets in the way.
Work is demanding. Chores need doing. Errands need running.
You put self-care and your resolutions on the back burner as you burn out. And another year flies by, your resolutions still unfulfilled.
However, an intention is much more than a resolution to achieve an external goal. It runs deeper.
An intention is a guide for identifying your core values and using them to design the life you want to lead and to become the person you want to be.
Do you want to live more deliberately by spending more quality time with yourself and your loved ones? Maybe you want to live more eco-consciously by caring after nature’s bounty?
An intention will help you make that new identity and way of living a reality.
Giving voice to that intention will help you to manifest it.
Before learning how to set a New Year’s intention, be sure to sign up for my mailing list to receive practical advice on managing burnout throughout the year.
Are you ready to set your New Year’s intention(s)?
Let’s get started.
How to Set an Intention for 2020
#1 Write Down Who You Intend to Be
It isn’t enough to just want to make a change in your life.
Your intention needs to describe the type of person you intend to become in order to manifest that change.
For example, if you want to create more balance in your life, your intention could be, I am somebody who practices self-reflection.
Your intention should embody your new identity.
#2 Align Your Actions with Your Intention
The first step defines who you want to be. This step explains how you can become that person.
Under each intention, write down habits that type of person would have.
If you want to be somebody who practices self-reflection, your list might look like:
- Practices meditation for ten minutes every morning
- Takes a 10 minute break every afternoon to calmly and quietly reevaluate their priorities
- Journals every evening
Don’t leave anything to mystery. Because if you don’t know what to do next, you’ll do what’s comfortable: slipping into your old habits when life gets busy and you start burning out.
#3 Rewrite Each Intention into a Daily Affirmation
When you repeat your daily affirmations, you are setting into motion a different reality. Every day, you choose to make better choices. You choose to improve yourself.
So, rewrite your notes from the first two steps into affirmations you can say aloud every day. Since practicing self-reflection is my New Year’s intention, here’s how I would express that in an affirmation:
“Reflection is important to me. I invest time in reflection and introspection to gain a deeper perspective of myself and my life. To do this, I meditate for ten minutes every morning, take a 10 minute break every afternoon to calmly and quietly reevaluate my priorities, and journal every evening before I go to sleep.”
Once you’ve written your affirmation, commit to this habit: repeat it to yourself every day, 5-10 times in the morning and again in the evening.
During times of extreme stress or anxiety, return to your affirmation(s). Never lose sight of your intention(s), even when life gets challenging.
Your intention(s) will manifest into spoken word. Spoken word will manifest into daily habits. Daily habits will manifest into fulfilling your intention(s).
This 2020, Prioritize Yourself
As you work on your New Year’s intention(s), I want to share three tenets to guide the process:
#1 Be Kind to Yourself
When you’re first learning how to practice mindful breathing, your mind often wanders.
The trick is to forgive yourself each time it happens. Then you invite your awareness back to the act of breathing, again and again.
Carrying out your intention is similar. As you take steps to manifest your intention, you’ll probably stumble.
And that’s okay. Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself each time you stumble.
True manifestation of your intentions happens only after you get back up each time you fall, again and again.
#2 Say No to Others. Say Yes to Yourself.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of being a people pleaser.
When you live for others, you forget to live for yourself. When you try tending to everybody else’s needs, it’s easy to burn out.
New Year’s intentions are more than self-care and personal growth. They’re also about leading a life that aligns with your core values and priorities.
Your time and energy are limited resources. When you give them away, there’s less of each left for pursuing your intentions and nourishing your own body and soul.
This year, set boundaries. Each time you say no, you’re saying yes to your own well-being and intentions.
#3 You’re at Choice
When other people fail at their resolutions, you may start doubting yourself.
But here’s the truth: you are always at choice.
You can choose to move forward or you can choose to stand still. You have the choice to create positive change in your life.
The decision for better always rests in your hands.
This Year Will Be Better
Take a look in the mirror. Envision who you are at the end of 2020, if you carry out your intention.
That’s the person you want to be.
When you say your daily affirmations, know in your heart and soul that you will become that person.
Your New Year’s intention is a long-term commitment to your personal growth. It’s a step towards living a life that aligns with values and priorities specific to you.
As you work to fulfill your intention, it’s very common to become derailed by self-doubt, criticism, and burnout. Whether life gets in the way or you’re not seeing the results you want, you might want to give up on yourself. You might even feel unworthy of the amazing intention(s) you set for yourself.
When this happens, return to my first guiding tenet: be kind to yourself. To help you get back on track, I’ve created my From Burnout to Balance 7-Day Self-Love Challenge, where each day is a reminder to love yourself AND that you are worthy of your intentions.
During these 7 days, we’ll look at what’s really going on beneath the signs of burnout and I’ll give you simple strategies for how to turn things around so you can get on the path towards balance and enjoying your life (again).
If you’re ready to break out of the burnout cycle and desire to be…
- Relaxed and confident, knowing you’re tending to the most important priorities
- Energized, clear and focused
- Calm, easy-going and peaceful
- Sleeping like a baby and waking up rested
- Engaged, inspired and passionate about your life

Burnout, Self-Care, Self-Love
The holidays can often feel like a whirlwind.
You get swept up in a gale of parties, gift-giving, and errands. Always on the go, you bounce from task to task, checking things off your list.
It can feel overwhelming. And if you’re unprepared, you might experience signs of burnout.
Most of us can’t hop on a plane to the islands when the holiday stress kicks in.
But I have good news: you don’t have to.
There’s no need to retreat to an external destination. You can find solace within yourself.
This Christmas, you can retreat to your inner sanctuary.
Why an Outer Sanctuary Isn’t Enough
Many of us have physical places we retreat to.
Our bedroom. Our place of worship. The park. We often find serenity in these special physical spaces.
However, these places aren’t always guaranteed to deliver peace.
For example, my home has always been my sanctuary. However, with renovations underway, my sanctuary suffers from invaders. This holiday season, it’s more a source of unwanted noise and stress.
But I learned that I didn’t have to despair. I didn’t need a physical space to retreat to.
When this happens, I know that I can always return to my inner sanctuary.
What Sanctuary is to Me
My sanctuary is found within my heart-space. It’s a place of serenity that I can always go to.
When life outside is stressful. When everybody is demanding my time and energy. When I need to desperately escape it all, I know that I can re-center myself within my sanctuary.
During the holidays, my sanctuary soothes me and prevents overwhelm. In this state of mind, I reconnect with my inner guidance.
How to Discover Your Inner Sanctuary
#1 Calm Your Body and Mind
First, find a comfortable place to sit.
Close your eyes.
Now, take a deep breath through your nose to the count of five.
Exhale through your mouth to the count of ten.
As the breath empties your lungs, feel the fatigue in your body melt away.
Let the world around you dissolve.
#2 Envision Your Inner Sanctuary
Picture in your mind a place where you feel peaceful, happy, and safe.
It might be a place you visited when you were young, like a park or field you played in.
It could also be an imaginary place, like a fantastical forest or lush meadow.
There is no right or wrong answer.
Your sanctuary is yours to design.
#3 Immerse Your Senses
Whichever destination you choose, immerse yourself entirely.
What sounds do you hear? Maybe you hear birds chirping or waves lapping against the shore.
What smells do you notice? What textures can you feel?
Delight your senses. Experience every detail. Be present in this moment.
#4 Notice Your Appearance and Actions
Are you wearing a faded summer dress that catches the wind? Or maybe you’re wearing a sharp pantsuit that makes you feel unstoppable.
Your clothes should reflect how you want to feel within your inner sanctuary.
Calm. Inspired. Confident.
Now, imagine what you’re doing.
You could be following a daisy-lined dirt path, the sunshine kissing your skin. Or you could be engaged in a hobby like painting or writing. Or maybe you’re just floating, carried by the waves.
Choose an activity that calms or energizes you.
What are you doing in your sanctuary?
#5 Color This Experience
Mentally capture your inner sanctuary, as if you’re taking a polaroid picture.
If this polaroid picture were to take on a color, what would it be? Yellow? Green?
For me, my sanctuary would take on a yellow tint. How about you? What color is your sanctuary?
Now imagine this color symbolizing everything you feel within your sanctuary: serenity, safety, happiness.
#6 Return to Your Breath
Now, return to your breath.
Imagine the oxygen you breathe is pigmented with that color.
Each inhale fills every cell within your body with that color. The feelings of joy and fortitude that your color carries touch every organ and extend to each fingertip.
And as you exhale, feel the color and every emotion settling into place. Each breath fills, soothes, and grounds you.
This is the transformative power of your inner sanctuary.
#7 Regularly Visit Your Inner Sanctuary
Your inner sanctuary isn’t just a retreat for when you’re feeling the symptoms of burnout.
It can also be a daily practice. When you practice consistent self-care, you feel more clarity and gain mastery over your emotions.
Before I give myself away to the day’s responsibilities, I visit my inner sanctuary every morning. I start my morning at my seaside cottage. I’m swaying slowly on a hammock tied between two palm trees. The warm sunshine paired with the cool ocean breeze energizes me.
I feel at peace.
Share your inner sanctuary with me. What does it look like? How do you feel when you’re there?
Discover Your Sanctuary Today
The holiday hustle and bustle can quickly consume our time and energy. If we don’t take time to practice self-care, we can suffer from holiday burnout.
This Christmas, the perfect gift isn’t always something you can buy off the shelves. Perhaps, the perfect gift is unlocking that space of zen and serenity within yourself.

Burnout, Self-Care, Self-Love
‘Tis the season to be jolly.
Or not.
For many, it’s the most joyous time of the year. For some, it’s also the most stressful.
And here’s why.
Imagine all the day-to-day responsibilities you’re already busy with. Now imagine stacking all your holiday stress on top: shopping, planning, decorating.
It can get overwhelming!
If you don’t prepare properly, you’ll fizzle out fast. That’s why it’s important to always be on the lookout for signs of burnout.
In part 1 of this 2-part series on preventing holiday burnout, I shared physical, mental, and emotional self-care tips.
However, even those self-care practices might not be enough. The picture is incomplete.
To effectively prevent holiday burnout, you must also practice spiritual self-care.
What is Holiday Burnout?
Before we dive into holiday burnout prevention, let’s start with the basics: what is burnout?
Burnout happens when you keep pushing your limits until you’re finally running on empty. When you reach this point, your body and mind break down.
You’re probably familiar with the symptoms of burnout.
The tension in your muscles. The clenching in your jaws. Shallow breathing. Brain fog. Restless nights.
Holiday burnout is when you experience all of this plus the stress and anxiety of preparing for the holidays. In fact, one in three Americans experience burnout during the holidays.
Burnout recovery requires ample time and deliberate self-care practices.
That’s why I advocate for burnout prevention. Last week, I shared how you can fortify your mind, body, and emotions during the holidays.
Now, let’s focus on strengthening your spirituality and nourishing your sense of adventure.
5 Ways to Prevent Holiday Burnout Through Spirituality and Adventure
#1 Cultivate Self-Compassion
During the holidays, we’re often too hard on ourselves.
We feel frustrated if we fall behind on holiday errands. Or disappointed if we don’t give the perfect gift. These emotions might leave you feeling unworthy of love or joy this season.
The next time you feel like who you are or what you’re doing isn’t enough, practice affirmations. Tell yourself:
I am enough and I love the person who I am.
Don’t let negative self-talk trigger your holiday burnout. Rather, give yourself the gift of self-compassion. Affirmations are empowering and provide gentle reminders to be compassionate to yourself, so you will feel more deserving of love.
#2 Practice Gratitude
It’s difficult to enjoy life when you’re occupied with everything that seems wrong.
I don’t have the perfect holiday gifts! or I keep getting buried under all these holiday errands!
However, the holidays are meant to be filled with love, family, and joy.
Remember that the next time a negative thought slips into your mind.
Pause. Let it flow. Then say something that you’re grateful for.
When you practice gratitude, you retrain your mind to think more optimistically. You will also discover that your life is touched by countless blessings this holiday season.
#3 Study Your Faith
What faith do you practice?
Is it Christianity? Buddhism? Maybe it’s Judaism or another religion.
Whatever your religion is, the holiday season is the perfect time for renewing your spiritual self through your faith.
When was the last time you studied your religious practices? Or the last time you had a conversation with your higher being?
If your anxiety is spiraling out of control, it may be time to rely on your higher power. Pull out your favorite scripture and read it aloud. Reflect on how you can apply it to your life. Faith and prayer can support you through the holiday rush.
#4 Revel in the Sunshine
In the holiday hustle and bustle, we’re often so busy checking off our holiday lists that we forget to take breaks.
If you’re feeling the holiday overwhelm, try walking outside and feeling the sunshine on your face.
Sensory self-care is a wonderful way to calm your system and soothe chronic stress. Your body will appreciate the warmth and vitamin D gathered from the sun.
Also, fresh air and sunshine has been linked to improved mood. Sunshine helps you produce more serotonin, which can soothe your holiday stress.
Nature has an abundance of healing properties to offer. Open your senses and welcome it into your body.
#5 Practice Deep Breathing
During the holidays, your attention is pulled in every direction. Work, holiday errands, and caring for your family can stretch you thin.
In the midst of the holiday chaos, don’t forget to pause and breathe.
Deep breathing can collect your scattered attention and center it within your body.
Try it now.
Take a slow, deep inhale as you count to five. Feel your belly expand. Experience the rising in your chest. Savor the cool air rushing through your nose.
Now exhale even slower as you count to ten. Feel your shoulders, your chest, your belly, slowly lowering with gravity’s pull.
Feel the difference?
In just a few moments, you can tap into yourself and discover true peace during this season.
Don’t Let Burnout Dampen Your Holiday Spirit
If you’re reading this article and thinking to yourself:
These tips are all about preventing burnout. But I’m feeling anxious and exhausted in this very moment. Help!
Remember to practice the deep breathing exercise we learned earlier. Inhale to a count of five. Exhale to a count of ten.
Imagine each exhale pushing the stress and anxiety out of your body.

Burnout, Self-Care, Self-Love
You’re standing in line, shopping for holiday presents at the last minute… again.
The last thing you want to do after a long day at work is to run stressful holiday errands. But, here you are.
Next!
The cashier calls you over. As he rings you up, you massage the knots in your shoulder. You wince at the hammering in your temples. Through the pain, you consider stopping for coffee to hopefully clear your brain fog.
This is what holiday burnout feels like.
The signs of burnout feel like uninvited guests every holiday season. Instead of joyful anticipation for the holidays, all you feel is exhaustion and anxiety.
This holiday season, I want to equip you with self-care practices that will improve your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. That way, you can enjoy your holidays and savor the time you spend with your loved ones.
#1 Fortify Your Body
For many people, burnout symptoms manifest in their bodies. Headaches. Tense muscles. Shallow breathing. Here are three physical self-care tactics to address those problems.
Prioritize Sleep Quality
Sleep improves your energy levels, sharpens your focus, and improves your appetite. However, a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that 1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep.
If low energy levels seem to be the norm lately, start evaluating your sleep quality. Are you going to bed on time? Are you consistently sleeping for six to eight hours? If not, make improving your sleep quality a top priority.
Fuel Your Body
Burnout and the common cold often partner up during the holiday season. Depending on what you eat, your diet can worsen your symptoms. Excessive sugar and empty calories can sabotage your energy levels, mental clarity, and mood.
Boost your immune system with wholesome, nutritious meals. Fueling your body with the right foods can help you ward off holiday burnout.
Get Moving
If you’re sitting at a desk from sun-up to sun-down, it’s easy to save exercise for “when you feel like it”.
I’ll try again tomorrow. It’s been a long day and I’m beat.
However, neglecting exercise does little to soothe your signs of burnout. When you consistently exercise, you can boost your energy, sharpen your focus, and increase self-esteem.
Taking walks during your work breaks (Another tip: schedule in work breaks!) and during the weekends can be a convenient way to strengthen your heart, while combating all the holiday stress.
#2 Reclaim Your Mind
As fall transitions into winter, your mind is bombarded with holiday-related errands. Practice mental self-care with these tips to help you better manage holiday burnout.
Declutter Your Mind
Ever felt overwhelmed by a huge project?
Looming deadlines and a mountain of work is enough to overwhelm anybody.
We often see the holidays the same way: a mountain of work.
The best way to climb this mountain is one step at a time. And that first step is getting all those holiday errands out of your head and onto paper. Once you’ve written them down, assign each task a date and time on your calendar.
With a little organization and the right productivity systems, our minds don’t always have to suffer from burnout.
Meditate
Sitting in silence with your thoughts can be scary. Distracting yourself with social media and your favorite TV series is so much easier.
However, our minds can get cluttered with anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt. Meditation helps you clear that mental gunk and invites inspiration and peace back into your life.
If you find yourself overwhelmed with holiday stress, sit down and meditate. If you’re still uncomfortable with silence, try guided meditation with a mobile app.
Avoid consuming negativity from toxic people and online sources. Instead, feed your mind with inspiration and positivity, like the content I share when you sign up for my mailing list.
#3 Discover and Celebrate Your Emotions
Emotional exhaustion can easily tear down your resiliency during the holidays. Here is how you can add emotional self-care to your routine.
Journal
The self-care process can be a journey of self-discovery. However, your voice is often drowned out by trending news, social media, and marketing ads.
We get so busy listening to others that we forget to listen to ourselves.
Journaling helps you tune back into your thoughts. Rediscovering who you are and what you value helps you achieve emotional harmony. Don’t wait until the holidays to gift yourself with a journal. Delve into your thoughts and emotions now.
Connect with Your Loved Ones
Inter-connection is biologically wired into all of us. Our survival depended on people forging bonds and building communities.
As you prepare for the holidays, schedule some quality time with your loved ones. Plan a dinner with a close friend. Give your mom a hug. Go on a date with your lover.
When you give your time and love, you will receive it back in abundance.
Overcome Holiday Burnout In Just Ten Minutes…
Holiday burnout happens to the best of us, myself included. If left unmanaged, it can derail the entire holiday season for you.
