On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

I’m going to reblog this again since I see more individuals are inquiring about burnout prevention tips in the notes and it’s why I sought out this resource. I hope it helps you!

This is important!!

Preventing burnout.  Keeping the movement alive. 

What is burnout?  Burnout is the experience of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion often caused by longterm involvement in emotionally demanding situations. 

Effects of burnout on a movement.  In a 2015 study it was observed that roughly half of activists who experienced burnout did not take a break or hiatus. Instead, they ended up leaving the movement for good. 

Why is burnout common among activists?  Research has highlighted burnout among activists is usually caused by the setting of unrealistically high standards for oneself.  Activists commonly feel the weight of the world upon their shoulders, with a heightened sense of accountability, empathy, and guilt. 

Tips to fight burnout.  1. Identify your feelings.  Symptoms of burnout can include: 

  • Anxiety
  • Guilt
  • Isolation
  • Irritability
  • Anger
  • Sadness
  • Pessimism
  • Disappointment
  • Numbness
  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Lack of motivation
  • Physical pain/sickness

2. Talk to a trusted confidant. Whether a therapist or a friend, sometimes taking the opportunity to let out your thoughts and feelings with someone who understands us can alleviate stress, or point us in a direction we may not have yet considered. 

3. Find healthy outlets.  Work on a coping bank, a go-to list of activities and behaviors that give you a sense of fulfillment, relief, and replenishment when you’re feeling burnout. 

4. Learn when to step back.  While your voice is valuable, know that many others are willing to carry on the work you have done, until you’re ready to step back in.

“Just don’t give up what you’re trying to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.” – Ella Fitzgerald.
