Are You Burnout?

-

Hello, ARMYs! How are you? 

It's already December now, and only a few more weeks to go before we enter 2025. And what awaits us in 2025? (drum roll) It's an OT7 reunion!!!! Yeahh!!!  🎉🎉🎉

Since it's December, I feel like my energy is draining nowadays. Just like a battery, we do experience burnout and need to recharge. So, how can we know the signs of burnout? And what exactly is burnout? 

First and foremost, burnout can happen to everyone at some point or another. When our lives get busier as we deal with daily duties, such as working, helping others, taking care of our families, etc., we tend to forget to take a step back and rest. The constant, overwhelming feeling can cause burnout. It can be related to the job, the study period, and other aspects of life, too.

Burnout can have many symptoms. Here are the signs to look for if you or someone close to you is experiencing burnout:

  •  Exhaustion: You might feel drained and experience extreme tiredness. This symptom can show up as physical pain and stomach (or bowel) problems.
  •  Withdrawal from activities: You may start to distance yourself emotionally and feel numb about your work and environment.
  • Reduced performance: You feel like you have no energy left for everyday tasks. It is also hard for you to concentrate.
  • Mental burnout symptoms: You may feel self-doubt, helplessness, defeat, and failure. 
  • Physical burnout symptoms: You may feel extremely fatigued and without energy. Thus, you tend to get sick often, have body aches, recurring headaches, lose your appetite, or experience insomnia.

Last but not least, if you find yourself experiencing burnout, don't try to keep going. Instead, take a break. You can try to do anything that makes you feel more relaxed. It can be spending time with loved ones, doing your hobby like reading, sleeping, etc., or healthy eating, or you can just do nothing and chill for the day. 

It might be hard, but do it for you. Like a battery, we need to recharge in order to carry out our responsibilities, so give yourself a break that you need.

That's all for today. I wish you the best, ARMYs!

Borahae 💜💜💜

You Are Your Favorite Flowers 🌷🌹🌼🌺🌸

Hello, beautiful lovelies! How are you? It's already March, and there are three months to go until Boraland shines brightly. Today's topic is going to be about flowers. What's your favorite flower? Why does it become your favorite? For me, my favorite flower is tulip. I don't know why it became my favorite as I've never touched a tulip. It just calls out to me when I see it in a picture. Later, I found out that tulips are flowers that symbolize perfect and deep love and rebirth or new beginnings.  What I'm trying to say is do you realize we are all like flowers? Your favorite flower represents you and every flower blooms on its own time and way without competing with other flowers. Even the same kind of flower has distinct features that make it unique, different and stand out. So, always remember that you are beautiful and will grow at your own pace. You don't have to compete with other people. You just have to learn and enjoy your journey. Furthermore, just...

Am I Outside or In My Comfort Zone?

Hello, lovelies. How are you? It is already September, and we have three more months to go. I can't believe how time flies so fast . After mid-2025, I keep wondering about my comfort zone and what it means to me. Sometimes, there is a thought that creeps in and makes me think , "Am I left behind?" So, today , let's discover and explore what it means to grow outside of our comfort zone. Or do we need to bloom like everyone else? We often hear the phrase “step outside your comfort zone ”, as a call to grow, take risks, and embrace the unknown. However, the truth is, the comfort zone isn't a one-size-fits-all space. It’s deeply personal and often invisible. Your comfort zone isn’t always about where you are or what you’re doing. It's not just about stages, spotlights, or silence. Sometimes, it’s internal: a mindset, a feeling, a space where your thoughts feel safe, even if the world around you doesn’t. For some, speaking out is a step into courage. For othe...

Hi, lovelies! How are you? How's your 2025 so far? I hope you're doing well 💞 Today's topic focuses on what we can do when feeling anxious. Please note that everyone feels anxious at some point. It's a natural response to stress, uncertainty, or challenging situations. Some people may feel anxious more often or more intensely than others, but it's something that everyone goes through at different levels. It’s a normal part of the human experience, though how we handle it can vary from person to person. When you're feeling anxious, there are several things you can do to help calm yourself: 1) Breathe deeply: Take slow, deep breaths through your nose and out through your mouth. This helps calm your nervous system. 2) Ground yourself: Use the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique to focus on the present moment. Identify: 5 things you can see 👀 4 things you can touch ✋ 3 things you can hear 👂 2 things you can smell 👃 1 thing you can taste 👅 3) Challenge your thoug...
