371 - 5 Anti-Burnout Behaviors to Protect Your Energy (Backed by Neuroscience)
You know you need to manage your stress… but why does managing stress feel like another stressor?
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a self-care checklist, you’re not alone.
High-capacity women don’t need more pressure to “do wellness right.” You need tools that actually work—and fit into real life.
In this episode of Alive & Well, we’re unpacking five anti-burnout behaviors backed by neuroscience.
These aren’t morning routine fluff or band-aid fixes.
They’re simple, nervous system-friendly habits that help you regulate stress, replenish energy, and stay grounded—without needing a full life overhaul.
You’ll learn:
🔹 How your stress response system works—and what happens when it never gets to turn off
🔹 Why your body can feel depleted, even if your calendar is “under control”
🔹 The daily habits that actually recalibrate your nervous system over time
Then, I’ll walk you through 5 specific behaviors that buffer against burnout—and explain the science behind why they work.
We’ll cover:
✔️ Play & pleasure – how fun rewires your stress response
✔️ Phone boundaries – how overstimulation hijacks your capacity
✔️ Embodied gratitude – not just journaling, but regulation through reflection
✔️ Movement & nature – quick, accessible ways to discharge stress
✔️ Capacity-aware boundaries – how saying no protects your nervous system
Because burnout doesn’t happen because you’re weak. It happens when your body is strong enough to keep going—long past the point of enough.
💡 You don’t need a reset. You need rhythms that support your biology.
