Avoiding Burnout!

Life has been super busy this past while. And then there's the stress of weather (snowstorm and bad roads and then changing--it can be a positive change, but it's still a stressor!) and illnesses and so on.

I can feel I'm heading toward burnout. And that's not good.

So, today, we are having a fun day. We are heading to the science centre and checking out a cool exhibit there. My 15yo is behind in her work, but neither of us really care at the moment. I won't be taking that next step in getting a good routine with my 12yo son, but I'm okay with that. If we end up burnt out, that will do more damage than taking a day off!

What do you do to avoid burnout?

  1. Lately focusing on simple things like doing art with kids. Also working through drawing with children. Trying to grow veggie patch, so also relax for me with kids!
