Boundaries, Burnout, and Capacity
Make the health plan fit the amount of energy you actually have.
What to know
Burnout is not solved by adding a demanding self-care routine.
Boundaries may involve time, work, relationships, caregiving, or digital access.
Support and structural changes can matter more than motivation.
