Use this top strategy to avoid burnout and overstretching yourself. You may say stretching yourself is good because that is how we learn and grow, so why should we avoid it? Stretching yourself is good, but overstretching yourself is not. We need to learn not to overstretch ourselves because overstretching can lead to burnout. If you’re anything like me, I tend to push myself and not know when to quit. That comes with a disadvantage because it makes me very vulnerable to overstretching myself too much that I start to reach my breaking point. In this video, I will share two examples from my own life on how this happens and the major strategy that I often use for myself.

👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!
If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.
Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.
Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.
Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
