Building Long-term Resilience at Work
🎯 Set Boundaries
Learn to say "I'm at capacity" instead of taking on more work. Protect your time and energy.
Example: "I can take this on, but I'll need to deprioritize X project. Which would you prefer?"
💬 Communicate Clearly
Ask for clarification on expectations. Document important conversations. Speak up about problems early.
Most workplace stress comes from unclear communication and unspoken expectations.
🏠 Create Work-Life Separation
Have a "shutdown ritual" - physically close your laptop, change clothes, take a walk.
Your worth is not determined by your productivity. You are valuable beyond your work output.
