⚠️ Trigger warning ......You might not like what you hear in this post🫣
I blamed work for me burning out 🔥
For always asking if I could take on me,
For me being so busy and exhausted
For me skipping my exercise class because I was too tired and needed to catch up on more work.
The truth here is that I was the one to blame.
I wanted to please everyone all of the time, which meant I never said no to work requests, never pushed back, was always available to everyone.
It was my people pleasing that led to me having stress headaches, feeling dizzy and feeling just so numb from exhaustion.........not necessarily works fault. My own fear of what others might think of me, or if they think I'm not good enough for the role.
Sometimes it's easier to blame the situation instead of looking inwards and seeing what actually led to that situation 🫠
These days I'm doing things differently 🙌🏼 and even better, now I get to support women who've had the same realisation as me and support them to take back control again 💪🏼
Tell me 👇🏼 if you've burnt out in the past, what was the reason?
