"Burnout is yout body and soul forcing you to pay attention to them."

"Figure out wether you're overexteded, disengaged, or feeling innefective."

"It's hard to maintain your confidence or feel anything close to a sense of accomplishment if you're only reacting."

It takes courage to say no and stick to it without feeling guilty.
🔹If I say yes, what do I gain?
🔹If I do this, what will I not be able to do instead?
🔹If I say no, what’s the worst thing that could happen?

Adopying a more direct communication style may make some people uncomfortable, but that’s not the end of the world. It’s a powerful way to more clearly communicate what you are thinking and feeling.

“I’m having a strong reaction right now, and I need a moment.”
“I’d like to come back to this later.”
“Right now I feel _____ because _____.”

Formula to communicate a particular anger issue:
What the other person did + the negative effect it had on you + how it made you feel

“..started to draft a list titled ’Pieces of ourselves we love and don’t want to lose (+action items)’.”

this is a good idea to do before tying the knot

When people got mad, they were more likely to try to improve a bad situation.

Keep in mind that an important part of the progress you’ve made is what you learned.

You might have switched careers or starting over in a new place.

That doesn’t meean you’re “behind” where you used to be.

It means you’re starting again, this time with experience. 😊
