To this day, I struggle with the idea of taking a few hours away from my day to do something for mere pleasure. Doing anything even remotely enjoyable is ultimately accompanied by feelings of regret. “I could be studying” and “this won’t get me into grad school” are among the many intrusive thoughts I have to deal with when doing anything for, well, me. So how can overachievers overcome these feelings of remorse, take the time to be a little kinder to themselves, and prevent burnout?
