💙 From One Anxious Person to Another 💙 (Patreon)

From one anxious worker to another:

If you're exhausted and stressed, chances are you're not gonna do your best work. 

I realise it's incredibly hard to set healthy boundaries with work. I am very, very bad at it. But I also recognise that burnout is very real, and it can lead to a lot of damage very quickly. 

Sometimes, my anxiety over work gets so bad that I'll often end up vomiting, not sleeping, getting upset and frustrated, and all in all just sabotaging myself. 

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, this is a kind suggestion: take a shower/bath, eat a hearty meal, do a relaxing activity, and go to sleep. 

You will accomplish very little at peak anxiety and frustration. Not only is self-care NOT selfish, it is absolutely essential for leading a healthy and productive life. 

Please look after yourself. Even if you're not very good at it like me, we can learn, and slowly we can set better habits for ourselves. 

Please, get some rest. You need and deserve it. 

Best wishes,
