Burnout recovery isn’t just about rest—it requires intentional rewiring of how we work, rest, and live.

Many working people like you and me struggle with burnout because we were never taught:

➡️ Rest ≠ Recovery – Research from the Journal of Applied Psychology shows that true recovery from burnout requires psychological detachment from work, not just physical rest. Scrolling on your phone after work? That’s not real rest.

➡️ Saying ‘No’ is a Skill – Studies indicate that women, especially in leadership, are more likely to take on “invisible work” that adds stress. If you were never taught to set firm boundaries, burnout becomes inevitable.

➡️ Your Nervous System Matters – Chronic stress alters brain function and increases cortisol levels. Without strategies like mindfulness, deep breathing, or movement, your body stays stuck in survival mode—even after time off.

➡️ You Need More Than Self-Care – While bubble baths and yoga help, Harvard Business Review notes that workplace culture, workload, and support systems play a bigger role in burnout than personal habits alone.

Burnout recovery isn’t just about taking breaks—it’s about taking back control. What’s one thing you wish you had learned earlier about managing stress? Drop it below! ⬇️
