Give stress the slip

“Write a permission slip, print it out and put in on the fridge to remind yourself you deserve a break,” advises Cleantis. Your slip might say, “Dear Wonder Woman, I hereby grant you permission to be an ordinary human with needs, boundaries and preferences. Sincerely, Burned Out.” Notes Cleantis, “Self-care and boundaries aren’t self-indulgent—they are nonnegotiable to being a healthy, happy and functional adult.”
