Reframe Burnout As Information Instead Of Failure
You have started dreading the calendar notification for a meeting that used to be fine, and some quiet voice keeps telling you to just push through. This treats the exhaustion as information rather than a personal failing, works out whether it is workload or meaning driving it, and gives you one small step, not a life overhaul.
