    Loved all the points mentioned, especially the one regarding alcohol. In movies, people romanticise the idea of using alcohol to “get back there” which I think is counterproductive. Wonderful post!

    I was one of the worst offenders of many of these things when I was working. Powering through might be okay for a short term, but when it comes to the long-term, I wish I would have listened to my body much sooner. I have been taking care of myself the last five years since I retired to focus on my own health. I retired because I saw no other way out—one of the best moves of my life. I hope others don’t go down the rabbit hole of endless stress, not eating right, and being too tired to exercise. I’m never going back to my old ways.

      I am so glad you were able to make those positive changes. I’m sure it wasn’t easy, but well worth it for your overall health! We all need to take a leaf out of your book!

    Awesome points. Reading this, I realise that I was experiencing the effects of burnout recently. Now I’m taking the steps to be more mindful of my activities. Selfcare, exercising, eating healthier and overhauling my lifestyle are some of the things I am working on and implementing. Great post.

      Sometimes we experience burnout without even realising it. I’m glad you acknowledged that you were burning out from reading this post. I hope you start to feel better!

    I’ve learned that stress can be the little seed in your spirit that can sprout into a massive tree and affect every facet of your life, most times it’s negatively. It can be the root of your physical and mental ailments so as often as I can, I try to put my selfcare needs top of the priority list. Thanks for the reminder!

      Oh wow I love this analogy. You’re so right. It can start out small but grow into something we can no longer control. Its about making sure we don’t let it grow!

    Beautiful post here Friend. Through the hustle and bustle of life and the desire to do everything, we end up wearing ourselves out. For stress, I do a few things. First, start by putting God first, and begin your day with a prayer to God and a heart for God. God is able to orchestrate several things and he can use divine assistance to make our day easier. Second, we need to treat our body like a temple. Energy giving foods are a great resource. Thirdly, we need to take little breaks every now and then to refresh.

    The most important of these is God. When things get tough, we can always reach out to him for help. 
    The Bible says in Philippians 4:6
    “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God”.

    God says in Jeremiah 29:11
    “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.
