The Resilience Project on Instagram: "whether it’s at school, in climate groups, at Uni or at your job: stop celebrating burnout. excessive work and stress are often celebrated because it defines you as ‘more’ activist, ‘more’ committed, or ‘more’ professional. we’re calling out this culture as toxic. burnout should not be strived for: it shouldn’t be considering a badge of doing meaningful work. rather, it can be a reminder that your work-life balance is off. hard work, joy and rest can and should co-exist. the first step in making this happen is to stop glorifying exhaustion, nudge friends who are over-working, and give yourself permission to rest. ✨ n.b: what’s burnout? burnout is a commonly used term for deep exhaustion. in psychology it is a cognitive process which happens over time. it is more prevalent for those on the front-lines of climate change such as indigenous, Global South and MAPA activists. if you are suffering from burnout we recommend speaking to counselling for social change, which provides professional support for those working in social change spaces. #burnout #activism #youth #climatechange #wellbeing #resilience"
