Balancing Self-Discipline and Self-Compassion When Burnout Hits

Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of burnout creeping in, and it’s got me thinkinghow do you all manage to stay disciplined while also being kind to yourselves? I know pushing through can sometimes feel like the only option, especially when deadlines loom, but I’m realizing that ignoring the exhaustion isn’t sustainable.

I’m curiouswhat strategies do you use to strike that balance? Do you set smaller, more manageable goals, or do you give yourself permission to step back entirely when needed? I’d love to hear how you navigate this, especially when the pressure feels relentless. How do you know when it’s time to push and when it’s time to pause?
