When I start feeling compassion fatigue, I can take a break and not think about work at all. Instead, I can do relaxing activities such as meditation, processing such as journaling, and focus on things that make me happy such as talking with friends or hobbies. I can also talk with my supervisor and coworkers since they understand the nature of the work.

When I start feeling that burnout, I’ve learned to listen to my body and mind. Taking a breather is key—maybe I’ll step outside for some fresh air or indulge in my favorite hobby for a bit. Chatting with my colleagues helps too; just knowing we’re all in this together can be a real comfort. And hey, treating myself to a good meal or some quality Netflix time doesn’t hurt either.

When I start to experience these feelings, I make sure to give myself a break from the current situation, and to do things that I enjoy. Even if I can only take few minutes away from the class, I will sit in a quiet space, and listen soft music or watch my surroundings like trees , vehicles ,homes etc, I will make sure to then go home that day and continue to participate in activities I take joy in.
