Our bodies were “not designed for the kinds of stressors that we face today,” a social psychologist said. Here’s how to recognize burnout in your body and what to do about it. nyti.ms/3f1TaKG
@nytimes the problem with the human brain is the capability to go into infinite loops of future multiverse scenarios and exhaust itself in worry.
@nytimes After all, compared to the past, modern times are more subject to complicated stress from society. My grandfather, I wasn't as tired as you. I understand why you said that.
@nytimes Compared to the stressors our ancestors faced, present bodies shouldn’t be heard to complain.
@nytimes I was going to read this, then hit the paywall. Then decided not to read it. Does that make me a bad person, or just financially wanting?
@nytimes My mind knows I’m burned out too. Such is life. I hope this can help some people.
@nytimes Learn to say no. Given I am an introvert & have to give 110% of myself to deal with work- which is customer service & complaints. Once the shift is finished I am DONE & cannot bring myself to run around & full my time with other things.
@nytimes I think our bodies were tested hard before so it's uncharted territory
@nytimes Our bodies were “not designed…” Full stop.
