Step #1: Self-Care
One of the first steps in battling burnout is to invest in self-care—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Consider making appointments with a doctor, a therapist, and a pastor. Addressing these three areas can pay big dividends in your journey to heal. Each small improvement in physical health, emotional resilience, or spiritual well-being helps replenish the energy that burnout depletes, and gives you more margin to handle things well instead of poorly.
