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.

I take time for self-care, spending time with my loved ones makes me feel better. Talking to my coworkers about my feelings will help how I am feeling, and taking breaks throughout the day.

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.
