Getting On Track After Academic Burnout

getting on track after academic burnout ୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ☆

( def. ) Academic burnout happens due to a mix of work and home life pressures. Common symptoms of burnout include a feeling of being unable to keep up, feeling overwhelmed, and exhausted, being unable to sleep and feeling anxious.

i made this post because I also recently had to go through one , and this is how I got back on track !

1. realise ‎♡‧₊.

academic burnouts can happen to the best of us. in this year of me taking studying seriously , i never experienced it until last week and i honestly thought something was wrong with me . i wasnt able to focus at all and even doing homework felt like a chore , it took me a while but i understood that i was burnt out ; the reason ? i overworked myself 3 weeks prior because of tests ! i became mentally tired

accepting you're just burnt out is super important ! i honestly spent my first 1 -2 days of rest just blasting lana del ray ! embarce it haha

2. rest‎ (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

after knowing you're in a rut , you're mentally exhausted , GIVE YOUR BODY REST !! one week is more than enough. keep your planner away for a week and just live the day as it goes on . DO NOT engage in heavy studying for a week at least , just do your home works if you wish

3. reset ‧₊˚ ⋅ ☆

indulge in things you enjoy watching , eating , reading !! go out w friends <3 refresh your mind and soul ! cleanse it all :D i personally binge watched zbtv , theKstarNextDoor , dive podcasts and some GoSe episodes ! these make me so so happy and really helped my mind be at peace

4. small steps(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

after around 5 days of complete rest , start motivating yourself on the 6th-7th days !! watching youtube vlogs really helps !! go on pinterest , get inspired to study , romaticise it !! and get back on track slowly.
