In the relentless pursuit of career milestones, we often forget the most vital component of our success: ourselves. It is time to embrace a hard truth: Take care of yourself. No person or job is worth your mental health.
Burnout is not a badge of honor; it is a signal that your boundaries need reinforcing. When you prioritize your well-being, you aren't just surviving—you are ensuring you have the clarity and energy to truly lead. Remember, you are a human being, not just a human "doing." Protect your peace fiercely; your future self will thank you.

This message really hits home. Hustle culture taught us to ignore the warning signs, but burnout is the body asking for care, not applause. Choosing rest, support, and reflection is an act of strength, not weakness. Sometimes that support means real help, like an addiction treatment program, therapy, or simply stepping back. Protecting your mental health isn’t quitting - it’s choosing a future where you can actually thrive.
