Burnout Diet: Delete, Block, Gone

Your Peace Is Worth More Than Their Access

If your nervous system is tired, overstimulated, burnt out and done, it’s time for the most powerful cleanse of all: deleting access to your energy. No juice cleanses. No fancy programmes. Just delete, block, gone.

Delete: Old Conversations That Still Stress You Out

If scrolling your messages feels like walking through a museum of people who drained your soul, it’s time for a clear-out. Delete the endless paragraphs, the arguments, the begging messages, the guilt trips. If it still upsets you to read it, it doesn’t deserve space on your phone—or in your head.

Block: People Who Don’t Respect Your Boundaries

If someone ignores your “no”, pushes your limits, or keeps coming back with the same bullshit—block. Block on socials, block on WhatsApp, block energetically. Their access to you is a privilege, not a human right.

Gone: Anyone Who Only Comes To Take

If every interaction feels like emotional customer service, they’re not your friend—they’re a drain. You are not a 24/7 trauma helpline, financial support line, or emergency therapist. “I can’t do this anymore” is a valid reason to disappear.

Delete: Subscriptions To Stress

Drama-filled group chats? Leave. Toxic Facebook groups? Gone. Following people who annoy you, trigger you, or make you feel crap? Unfollow. You are not obligated to keep a front-row seat to chaos.

Block: Silent Energy Thieves

Some people don’t shout or scream—they quietly drain you with constant neediness, negativity or self-pity. You don’t have to hate them to block them. You can wish them well… from very, very far away.

Gone: Guilty Obligation Energy

“I feel bad, so I keep talking to them” is not a valid reason to sacrifice your mental health. If the only reason they’re still in your life is guilt, it’s time for the exit door.

Your Burnout Diet Is About Cutting Access, Not Cutting Calories

This isn’t about food. It’s about who and what is swallowing your energy. Every delete, every block, every “nope, I’m done” is a step back to your sanity.

Protecting your peace is not dramatic. It’s survival.

Save This For Yourself 💚
