Busyness is NOT a Badge of Honor!
Let’s face it—being busy has become a weird status symbol these days. But guess what? Constant busyness is just a one-way ticket to Stressville, population: way too many of us!
If you’re a woman entrepreneur, you know that burnout can feel like it’s lurking around every corner. We’re naturally wired to do ALL the things, but without boundaries or priorities, we’re basically mixing up the perfect recipe for a meltdown margarita. 🍹
So, how do you know when burnout is knocking at your door? Here are a few red flags: (and please rule out Long Covid with your doctor first as symptoms can be pretty similar)
🚩 You’re just not feeling the spark in your business anymore.
🚩 You’re tired. Like, really tired. All. The. Time.
🚩 Your body’s throwing a tantrum—hello, insomnia, headaches, dizziness and those oh-so-fun heart palpitations.
Sound familiar?
Okay, time to hit the pause button! Here’s what you can do:
1️⃣ Catch those Zzz’s: Seriously, get more sleep! The world can wait while you recharge.
2️⃣ Time Blocking: Plan out your days with time slots for work and breaks. Not into planning? No worries, just set a Pomodoro timer and let it keep you on track.
3️⃣ Nature Calls: No, not that kind. Get outside at least once a week. A little fresh air does wonders for your soul and sanity.
4️⃣ Delegate Like a Pro: Whenever possible, hand off tasks to someone else. You don’t have to do it all!
Remember, burnout isn’t something you can just power through. It’s your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s gotta give!”.
I know this firsthand! Burnout wasn’t just a speed bump for me; it turned into a full-on detour with a neurological disorder. But that’s a tale for another time. Just remember, if you don’t hit the brakes yourself, your body will make sure you do!
There are tons of tools and strategies to help you sidestep burnout before it kicks down your door.
If you’re feeling stuck and don’t know where to start, just give me a shout! I’m always here for a chat to see how I can help you navigate this crazy entrepreneurial journey.
Now go out there and conquer your day! 🌟
Stay amazing and take care of YOU! ❤️
