How to deal with burnout

Find what’s making you burnout. It can either be family life, school life, activism or anything else.

Identify any immediate changes you can make. Accept that doing everything can’t be realistic, but you can delegate tasks to others or ask for help :))

Talk to people you trust. If it’s difficult for you to find what’s making you burnout, talk to someone about it! Just explaining your problems instead of keeping it to yourself can help a lot ❤️

Set boundaries. It may be difficult, but your mental health matters! Tell the person or acknowledge what is overworking you and limit yourself to tasks that are feasible for you and won’t burn you out.

Love yourself :)) Practice gratitude, cause you and me are wonderful human beings who deserve kindness/compassion.

Take a break from something that drains you or you cannot handle at the moment. More info here!
