I am constantly working extra to help our department that has recently lost 3 staff members. My burnout has come and gone. I will work extra for weeks at a time then not pick up extra for a while. During this time I have learned while it is important to support my coworkers I need to also slow down and rest every once in a while. I have a hard time relaxing and actually listening to my body and mind when they need rest. I am learning to allow myself to say no to working extra more and putting my self first every now and then.
