What to say to your friend who is experiencing burnout but won’t rest
These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.
We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.
Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.
Hey you, I'm saying this because I adore and admire you, but you've got to rest or you just won't feel better. You are not doing yourself any favors by pushing yourself through this and you don't need to prove yourself to anyone. Let me love on you a bit! Can I bring over dinner, or can I send Doordash cash so you can order something cozy and delicious? Send me a picture of what you order so I know you're actually relaxing. Go take a hot shower and crawl into bed. I know there's so much to do, but nothing will get done if you keep moving at this pace. I love you and want you to prioritize yourself!
Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
