Are you experience burnout? Are you finding it hard to keep going due to fatigue and lack of interest? Have you taken on too much and feel overwhelmed? Are you looking for a practice of self-care and increased creativity?

In this online workshop, participants will:

1. Understand, through a brief didactic, what burnout is, how it can affect our creativity, and how reflective writing can help mitigate its effects.

2. Use reflective writing to enhance self-awareness, increase self-compassion, and cultivate daily optimism.

3. Learn the link between reflective writing and flourishing, connecting with something larger than ourselves, and growing our own “personal wisdom.”

4. Develop a daily writing practice as a way to locate the joy in our jobs and find meaning and purpose in our lives.
