Questions about affirmations for burnout
Is it toxic positivity to use affirmations for burnout?+
It is if they deny the situation. 'Everything is fine' is gaslighting; 'being tired isn't failing' is triage. The second kind is what belongs here.
What actually helps day to day?+
Shrinking the unit of survival: not the quarter, the hour. 'One hour at a time' isn't a platitude at scale — it's operations.
Why a text instead of an app?+
Burnout is exactly when you stop opening apps. A text arrives without being asked — that's the whole point.
