Let's talk burnout: Avoing burnout is good for you and it's good for the movement. Here are some strategies.
Avoiding burnout while engaging in activism. Activism can take a mental toll. Activism can be costly: mentally, physically, legally, emotionally. It can harm interpersonal relationships. Burnout is a threat to activist movements. Movements fizzle out when activists get burned out and disengage. Take steps to prevent and mitigate burnout. Here's how... 1. Get support. Don't go it alone! Surround yourself with other activists and friends who share your convictions. Support is particularly important when engaging in high risk acts, such as sit-ins or riskier protests. 2. Expect an ebb and flow. Recognize that it is normal for feelings to ebb and flow over time. What has you really stressed today, may not be so stressful tomorrow. Expect your passion to ebb and flow, too.
