How do you know when you’re feeling burnout? How do you know when your body is feeling burnout?

When was the last time you felt burnout? What did you do?

What helps you prevent burnout?

Rest is a form of your resistance.

Similar to the historical trauma generations before us have experienced, many Black women have been denied the grace, time, and respect to rest our bodies. Instead, many Black women were historically punished for having the human need of rest.

Give yourself permission to unlearn that you do not deserve rest—you are entitled to the rest that you need. We need rest because we are exhausted from the physical, mental, and emotional experience of surviving as Black women. Acknowledging your need for rest is not a sign of weakness—it is human.

Making sure that you can receive the type of rest that restores you is essential for your self-care. There are many ways we, as Black women, can receive rest to cope with all that we have been exposed to. Rest can include intentional and voluntary moments of peace, as well as freedom from experiencing or witnessing traumatic events and interactions.
