Hey Friends! 

🔥💤 At times, it can be easy to mistake burnout for laziness. Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion that comes from prolonged stress, and it can be difficult to recognize. When we're burnt out, we may feel like we don't have the energy or motivation to do anything, and we might even start to feel like we're just being lazy.

💪🏼 The truth is, however, that burnout is a real and serious issue, and it's not something that can be solved by simply "pushing through" or "trying harder." If you're feeling burnt out, it's important to take a step back and evaluate what's going on in your life. Are you taking on too much at work? Are you feeling anxious all the time? Are you neglecting your own needs and self-care? Are you experiencing any major life changes or transitions?  

🌟 It's important to recognize that burnout is not a personal failing but rather a natural response to prolonged stress. By taking steps to address the root causes of burnout, such as prioritizing self-care, setting healthy boundaries, and seeking support from others, you can begin to regain your energy and motivation. So if you're feeling burnt out and are worried that you might be lazy, remember that burnout is a real and valid experience, and there are steps you can take to start feeling better.
