In reply to Coach Natalie Palombi. We all suffer from putting 'Me' time low in our daily priority list, Natalie and the only way to make it work is to put it as the first point in your daily To Do List. A refreshed and energetic person stays on top of time issues, especially if there is work pressure and little children in the equation. :)

I struggle with giving myself enough “me” time, and so I get stressed out because I don’t have time to just decompress! Time management is an issue too; I’ve been trying a few new techniques to improve it lately – such as forcing myself to stick to a to-do list!

In reply to Delia @ Happy Blogger Plaza. Realization of the challenge is the first step to resolving it Delia. If that 1 hour of ME Time is not possible, try baby steps with 10 minutes and build up to the 1 hour. Best of luck!

So important to prevent stress and burnout before it affects you inevitably, Vatsala! I schedule ME time every day but I find out I don’t always respect it.

I need to get better at this because I know it’s true that I am happier and way more productive when I do (after “wasting” that 1-hour as you perfectly said).

In reply to Kaz. Thank you for appreciating my efforts to raise awareness about 'Me Time" Kaz. Those goals may seem small but can have a big impact in making sure that we have the energy to achieve the bigger goals.

Great tips Vatsala! In my opinion, as you said, “me time” is very important! We can’t just work hard continuously. “Me time” is like a reward, so it’s important to have small goals as well 🙂 As I said, the other tips are also great! Many people can get benefits from reading your blog post. Thanks!

In reply to Joan Harrington. You've made my day, Joan. :) When daily activities start to overwhelm us, then that is a sure sign that we are heading for a burnout. The best way to find out is to try The Karmic Ally Coaching Burnout Self Test and consider the recommendations provided.

What a very important post on how burnout can be treated, Vatsala 🙂 It is also a good thing that you listed the differences between stress and burnout. So many people get so burned out on just daily activities. Stress is a big factor as well in how we deal with those things that cause us to burn out 🙂

Thanks for sharing!!

In reply to Sharise Hemby-Nance. Thank God for the vacation, Sharise. I gather that you are an empath too which means it is important to disconnect from work when away from your clients and practice self-care techniques suited to your lifestyle and preferences.

In reply to Tamuria. Thank you, Tamuria. Recognizing the signs of stress build up is half the battle towards creating an effective stress management program for oneself and for perhaps breaking down what appear to be unrealistic goals into smaller realistic ones or even changing the goal to make sure that it is achievable or tweaking it for assured success.
