My Hot Take On Work Burn Out

“If you don’t want to burn out, quit living like you’re on fire.” - Brene Brown

🚨 Hot Take 🚨

I don’t subscribe to “hustle” culture. I don’t think you need to “grind” to be successful.

It’s not natural for anyone to be ON all the time. That is a surefire course to burn out.

There are days when I work all day and accomplish so much, and there are days when I don’t get much done.

Hustle culture would tell me I’m “lazy” and “undisciplined” on the days I don’t get much done. What that messaging is really telling us is “you’re not worthy unless you’re productive.” I don’t subscribe to that bull shit at all.

FYI you are worthy just because you exist. You don’t have to hustle for your worth. You don’t have to be ON all the time, in fact, you can’t be.

Working hard is important, but neglecting your health and abandoning yourself for a job is not.

Honor every phase you’re in with compassion and understanding. This will help you live a more authentic life, which will bring you all the success you’re looking for.

It is a waste of your time to over-exert yourself to burn out, and then have to spend extra time pulling yourself back from the brink.

‼️Start taking care of yourself now.‼️
