Expert Answer

Practice self-care regularly by doing things to take care of your mind, body and soul. One way to do that is to engage in activities that promote well-being and reduce stress, like meditating, reading, or crossing something off your to-do list.

Expert Answer

You have to make sure that you take care of yourself. Take action to do things you enjoy in your spare time. If you're constantly being consumed by obligations and you don't take the time to get enough sleep, pursue your hobbies, and hang out with people you care about, you're going to run into burnout!

Expert Answer

It could be any number of things. Unfortunately, if that feeling is always there, you need to support yourself. Be compassionate, accept the way you're feeling, and find ways to let some steam off. It sounds kind of cheesy, but it can help to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, too.
