Tip to cope with loneliness and social isolation.
One way to practice self-compassion is to ask yourself: what would I say to a close friend who was going through this? Chances are, you wouldn’t put them down even further; you’d be supportive and uplifting. You deserve the same treatment! Try to reframe your thoughts and speak to yourself as you would someone you love.

Friendly reminder: social media doesn’t always reflect real life. If you find yourself scrolling and thinking, “Why does everyone else seem okay when I’m struggling?” Know this probably isn’t the case. Chances are those people who seem happy all the time have hardships just like you and choose not to share them online. Comparing yourself to others on social media can harm your self-esteem and mental health. Please be kind to yourself today and try not to compare your lowlights to someone else’s highlights!

Taking care of yourself is the best way to overcome burnout at work. Balance is so important in our lives, and taking these small steps can make a huge difference for yourself and the children and/or youth you work with!
