Parental burnout isn't a myth. Three core symptoms, four steps to survive before collapse.

Within you are parts — critic, scared, child. Meet them one by one.

Beneath noisy parts is a calm curious compassionate "Self" — meet it.

Ask 3 who know you to tell you "who you are in their eyes" — discover forgotten self.

Draw self as symbol/animal/scene — discover self unconsciously.

Track every energy drain for a week, then eliminate or reduce three — and half your lost energy returns.

Each month, write 3 behaviors to start, 3 to stop, 3 to continue.

Pre-decide a clear start and end time with yourself before any draining family visit.

When triggered, ask self: "what unmet human need?".

After 9 PM no work-replies — protect personal space with a ready phrase.

Each month's start, search your name on Google and review the first 3 result pages.

Set a weekly posting ceiling based on your sustainable energy, not on what the algorithm or competitors dictate.
