A self-guided workbook for creative recovery

A self-guided workbook for creative recovery

This self-guided digital workbook was designed to support creatives, freelancers, and entrepreneurs navigating the emotional, physical, and cognitive toll of burnout. As someone who has personally experienced creative burnout, I created this resource to share the most impactful tools that helped me recover — including psychology-informed strategies, journaling prompts, and actionable exercises. The guide features a burnout symptom map, three recovery phases, and a creative reset checklist to help users build awareness and design a more balanced, sustainable practice.
Available as a downloadable PDF, it’s a calming, practical tool for anyone seeking clarity, energy, and long-term creative well-being.

The Creative’s Burnout Survival Guide is a thoughtfully designed digital wellness toolkit that breaks down burnout into three essential phases: Recognize, Regulate, and Recover. Each section explores the symptoms, root causes, and self-care strategies specific to creative professionals, blending neuroscience, emotional regulation techniques, and mindset tools. Inspired by my own journey through chronic stress and perfectionism, this guide acts as a compassionate companion for creatives feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their work.

Inside, you'll find a detailed burnout symptom mind map, a self-assessment worksheet, somatic and nervous system regulation tools, and guided reflection prompts — including AI-powered journaling to deepen self-awareness. The guide also includes a recommended reading list and recovery insights to support long-term transformation. Whether you're just starting to feel off track or are already in the depths of burnout, this toolkit offers a structured path back to clarity, motivation, and creative joy.
