- Know yourself so you can have optimal performance while caring for your wellbeing.
- Work hard and get enough sleep, good food, exercise, and positive social interactions.
- If the academic environment is pushing you towards burnout, let's start an open conversation to change
Doing "your best" doesn't have to mean working yourself to the bone or pushing until your breaking point. Rather it means the best you can do while still taking care of yourself. Your best is better when you're healthy & at peace 🥰
