Burnout Diet: Stop Giving a Shit Edition

Because Caring Too Much Is Exhausting

Welcome to the Burnout Diet, where we finally stop giving a shit about things that don’t deserve our energy. Step one: recognise that your energy is a limited resource. Step two: stop wasting it on nonsense.

Stop Giving a Shit About What People Think

If people don’t like your boundaries, that’s not your problem—it’s their lack of them. You’re not on this planet to please humans who don’t even know how to please themselves. Next.

Stop Giving a Shit About Being “Nice”

Nice is just code for “please walk all over me.” Yes, be kind—but stop shrinking yourself so other people feel bigger. You’re not responsible for their comfort, sweetheart.

Stop Giving a Shit About Drama

If it doesn’t pay your bills, improve your peace, or make you smile—it’s not your business. Let people argue by themselves. They need the cardio, not you.

Stop Giving a Shit About Perfection

Your house does not need to look like Pinterest. Your life doesn’t need to look aesthetic. Laundry piles are proof of survival, and honestly, that’s impressive.

Stop Giving a Shit About Doing Everything

You’re one human. ONE. If you’re doing the jobs of two parents, a cleaner, a therapist, a chef, and an emotional support animal—you’re already smashing it. Sit down. Breathe. Ignore the dishes. They’re not going anywhere.

Stop Giving a Shit About Anyone Who Drains You

If someone feels like emotional homework, they’re off the menu. Immediate unfollow from your life. Peace before people. Always.

Start Giving a Shit About Yourself

Things to give a shit about:

• your energy
• your peace
• your wellbeing
• your joy
• your time
• your happiness

Everything else? Not your problem. Return to sender.

Save This For Yourself 💜
