Just when you think, like, okay, I've created, you know, the full plate to the level that I feel good, like, I can handle this.

Then life throws curveballs.

And oftentimes it's that scenario that sends us over the edge because we've planned what we believe we can control, but then there's

all these things that we can't. Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know

they are ready for more. I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host and the founder of Powerhouse Women,

and together we'll unlock the confidence and clarity

you are looking for to help you get out of your own way

and into action around your next big idea.

So grateful that you are tuning in to the podcast today and we are continuing on with our series about breaking up with burnout.

And I have to tell you, I've gotten so many messages from people who are loving this series,

which tells me that I'm not

the only one that sometimes kind of flirts with this line between productive, getting a lot

done, and totally burning out. So today I wanted to share with you five questions that I

have started to use and ask myself when I feel as though I'm getting a little

bit close to that burnout line, a little bit closer than I would like to be.

And I think it's really, really critical to develop this self-awareness, being able to pause

even in the midst of the craziest seasons of our life and really

reflect on what we have control over. And oftentimes what I am stressing out most about or what I feel

is pushing me closer to that burnout line are things that I can't control.

But in any situation, there are a lot of things that we can.

And so this is a practice that I've developed that I've used in those seasons that just feel

full.
