Top 3 things I used to do at work/believe that led me to burnout:

• Trying to always be perfect - and expecting others to be perfect.

• Repressing emotions to look professional - and exploding by the slightest trigger after repressing emotions for months.

• Saying yes to everything because I don’t want to cause friction - and expecting others to give back to me.

I used to blame the toxic environment for my burnout. Only after exiting and healing, I’ve taken accountability for my contribution to that toxicity. I was part of the problem. And it’s okay.

Even though it still makes me cringe before bed, I welcome those memories and laugh together with them and let them pass.

Anyone else?
