 Are you always busy doing stuff, stressing about school or work? At one point, responsibilities may become an obsession and turn into toxic productivity. According to Crudy Quasi, a licensed counsellor, this can cause perfectionism, emotional burnout and anxiety. So, how do you ease its effects? A licensed social worker, melody-wilding, share some tips you can try. First, remember that your work does not define your personality or your self-worth. Do you like books, movies, music? Try getting in touch with that side of you again. Next, focus on the bigger picture. Even if you make a tiny mistake sometimes, it doesn't mean your previous achievements are lost. Finally, change the what-if narrative. Try out something different and say, what if I get the highest grade and what if my teacher loves my essay? Don't forget to rest and take care of yourself. Your peace of mind always comes first.
