I used different strategies to improve my situation. I am feeling better now, and not as exhausted as I was. It is also holiday time at the moment, which has been a great help. I can spend time on my interests, spend time in nature and spend time with my daughter, which improves my wellbeing.
My Strategies for Healing
I went to bed early and got plenty of rest.
Took time off on days that I was unwell.
Recognised that I am human and I need time to recover.
Created boundaries; if something was too much, such as social demands, I didn’t attend and took time out instead.
Recognised that there were a few changes happening in my life that contributed to burnout.
Prioritised what had to be done and what I could leave until later.
Got support from others around me, and I was open about how I was feeling.
Was easy on myself if I couldn’t do certain tasks.
Kept to a routine.
Practised self-care, enjoyed a bath, or put on a face mask.
Tried to eat a healthy meal each day.
Started this blog, and wrote a journal.
Spent time in nature.
