Still going. But running on empty.
This free 10-minute exercise helps you catch burnout before it catches you. Developed by a BACP-registered therapist. All you need is your phone.
Burnout rarely begins with collapse. It starts quietly:
• You can't switch off, even when nothing urgent is happening
• Sleep doesn't fix the exhaustion
• You're still performing — but you feel hollow doing it
• Things that used to matter just don't land the same way
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not broken. You're depleted. And there's a difference.
The 10-Minute Burnout Reset is a short, practical guide developed from 15 years of therapy work. It uses a simple photography exercise to interrupt mental overload and bring your awareness back to the present — before burnout takes hold.
You don't need to be a photographer. You just need your phone and ten minutes.
What you'll do in 10 minutes:
1. Photograph something that represents the pressure you're carrying right now
2. Photograph something that represents relief — however small
3. Photograph something that sparks genuine curiosity
That's it. Three images. The shift in attention is the intervention.
This is for you if:
• You're still functioning — but you know something's off
• You've been telling yourself it'll ease up after this project, this quarter, this year
• You're good at looking fine on the outside
• You'd rather try something practical before committing to anything bigger It works especially well for managers, founders, healthcare professionals, therapists, and anyone carrying sustained responsibility for other people.
If this resonated — there's more.
The Pre-Burnout Programme is a 6-week group programme for high performers who are still going but running on empty. Built around the same therapeutic framework as this reset.
