The Idea of the Week
Let’s begin with the basics: What is Burnout (a 6-minute video)? Burnout is a reaction to prolonged stress characterized by exhaustion, cynicism or detachment, and less efficiency with your work tasks. So, if you find that you’re constantly exhausted, you hate your job or dread going to work, and feel less efficient and capable at work, then you may be experiencing burnout.
Practice of the Week
Dr. K from HealthGamerGG shares his story about productivity and burnout in this 19-minute video. Dr. K first begins with the fundamentals: what does “work” mean? Then, he builds from the idea of energy management to acknowledge that not all work is the same: some forms of work will invigorate you, while others will drain you.
How do we develop a work lifestyle and routine that works with our energy levels, not against them? In this 17-minute video, Rowena Tsai shares her productivity system: energy management.
If you feel like a burned-out candle wick, then let’s look at ways we can recover from burnout. In this 4-minute video, Kati Morton guides us through prompts to explore what type of break we need to recharge. Plus, PsychologyToday shares 7 Ways to Recover from Burnout in a 4-minute article:
- Start with your body. Nourish your body and engage in your self-care routines.
- Pinpoint which of these six areas are causing your problems: workload, control (or lack thereof), rewards, fairness, community, or values.
- Look to the future. What would it take for you to be engaged with your work?
- Try to make a better match.
- If improving your current job doesn’t work, make some big decisions.
- Delegate.
- Diversify your time. Take time to do the things you want to do—not just what you should do.
Remember: recovery from burnout can be a long process. You may not recover from burnout in a week’s vacation time. Rather, it may take weeks, months, or even years to recover from burnout. This is why it’s important to incorporate frequent breaks and rejuvenating self-care activities into our routines.

Family Constellations is a type of therapeutic approach that focuses on exploring the dynamics within a person’s family system, including their relationships with parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members, even ancestors. This approach can be used to address a variety of issues, such as relationship difficulties, emotional blocks, and unresolved traumas.
This workshop involves a group of participants who come together to explore their own family dynamics through a series of exercises and discussions led by our facilitator, Tatian Davila, a psychotherapist, healer, and seeker of ancestral knowledge.
