1. Watch cartoons.

Is this silly or what? I know you’re not 10 years old anymore, but watching cartoons was actually instrumental in my own journey battling burnout. When I turned on the TV, I was able to access my childhood excitement about specific cartoons, which helped me relax and find a better outlook. Maybe cartoons aren’t your thing. But tap into a childhood pastime -- you’ll be amazed how much it helps.

2. Ask yourself “how.”

Another amazing way to get over a mean case of burnout is to stop saying “I can’t,” and say “How?” instead. Don’t say, “I can’t handle this.” Rather, say, “How can I handle this?” This simple little twist puts you in a much more creative, problem-solving space, and helps you move forward -- no matter how stuck you’ve been feeling.

3. Use habits.

Habits are an awesome tool for beating burnout, because they remove the conscious decision-making from the process. When you’re already feeling stressed, things such as healthy eating and regular exercise are among the first to go -- unless they’re habits that are already so ingrained in your daily routine that you do them practically mindlessly.

Personally, I try to set up habits for anything I want to do regularly, as this helps save my decision-making power, which is limited, for bigger, more pressing issues.
