You may be experiencing burnout and not even know it, say authors (and sisters) Emily and Amelia Nagoski. In an introspective and deeply relatable conversation, they detail three telltale signs that stress is getting the best of you -- and share actionable ways to feel safe in your own body when you're burning out. (This conversation, hosted by TED curator Cloe Shasha Brooks, is part of TED's "How to Deal with Difficult Feelings" series.)

Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski: The cure for burnout (hint: it isn't self-care)

The cure for burnout (hint: it isn't self-care)

Burnout isn't just professional; it stems from unmeetable expectations in any demanding aspect of life, necessitating self-awareness.

Stress manifests physically, demanding separation of stressors from stress. Completing the stress cycle is key, not eliminating stressors.

The antidote to burnout transcends self-care; it's communal care. Surrounding oneself with a supportive 'bubble of love' is essential.
