Volunteering is a rewarding experience, where you give away your time and talents to help the greater good. However, you can easily get burned out if you overwhelm your schedule with volunteer hours. The key is to use wisdom and common sense when setting up your schedule. Start by committing to a small amount of time, maybe once or twice a month. In this way, you are not feeling the pressure to commit all at once to a cause. If this schedule provides you a good balance between your work and personal life, then stick to this schedule. Do not commit to volunteering many hours and days a month, if you are not sure how your body and mind will respond to the extra stress. If you can handle more hours later, you can always add them!

Reevaluate your commitments: volunteering should enrich your life, not exhaust it. When you feel overwhelmed, take a break, seek for support and above all, reevaluate your commitment to the organisation you are volunteering with.

Talvez seja o maior desafio do voluntário! Balancear o seu tempo com todas as suas atividades. Voluntariar é apaixonante e muitas vezes pode se tornar um relacionamento tóxico. Não por maldade de ninguém, mas uma organização sem fins lucrativos precisa de toda ajuda que puder conseguir e geralmente aqueles que se destacam mais são os mais requisitados para se dedicarem ainda mais. É essencial definir limites, comunicar esses limites e com responsabilidade deixar claro o que pode e o que não pode ser entregue, porque um mal desempenho pode inclusive ser prejudicial para a organização. Então não exite em priorizar sua saúde e bem estar. A constância é o mais importante nesse relacionamento, e depende do balanço ideal para isso acontecer.

Em atividades de voluntariado é essencial estabelecer limites conforme as nossas limitações físicas, mentais e financeiras.

Para que possamos cuidar dos outros é preciso que antes cuidemos de si mesmos.

Boundaries are so important they are there to create guidelines in accessing a person place or opportunity. we need to have boundaries in our professional and personal life.

Do not seek support when you need it! To prevent burnout is to seek the support BEFORE you need it. We do not install safety measures after the crash, we install them to prevent the crash. You should do the same with volunteering: - schedule check ins with your coordinator and colleagues, - evaluate and re-evaluate your capacity to volunteer on regular basis, - don't be afraid to talk about your needs, - be open to the fact that your enthusiasm, level of energy, drive, needs, feeling of fulfillment, determination and dedication to a cause can change and actively work with it. Taking a break or even leaving is absolutely fine. Good deeds should not be done by breaking volunteers.

It is okay to take break(s) from volunteering. There is nothing wrong with that so you need not beat yourself over it. Remember, volunteering is a selfless deed. Sometimes, break(s) are needed for you to get personal things done, especially if you have been focusing too much on volunteering. Burning out from too much volunteering only comes as a result of not taking breaks, so it’s totally fine to take a breather. Sometimes, burning out can cause you to lose interest in volunteering for a cause you love, and I think we do not want to hate something we loved doing. So, it’s perfectly fine to take breaks from volunteering.

If you’re feeling drained on a project or task it means you’ve consumed more energy than you have. It’s good to understand yourself, your areas of strength and weakness so you can rightly evaluate your energy levels on any given project.

So, take a break, relax, eat some food watch a comedy skit while at it, go for a little walk get some sunshine in you whatever works for you really. You can come back to finish the task(s) when you’re refreshed and energized.

Whilst volunteering can be incredibly rewarding, it is salient that a work-life balance is achieved. Often, when immersed in various projects it can be difficult to identify when volunteering is causing burn out, so perhaps consult with a trusted friend to help you to identify when volunteering is impacting your performance in other aspects of your life. Creating a schedule on an online platform also allows you to visualise the amount of time spent on volunteering or social action, and thus allows you to balance your time effectively. It is important to understand balance in the sense that you do not have to agree to every opportunity, and also the importance of only committing to an opportunity when you feel you have capacity.

Energy is precious. It's like water and food. Everything is built around it. Volunteering to conserve it 100% requires around the clock 100% hours. Poor building standards from I'm sorry people that worked on the structures didn't do it right and it's 32% in America no insulation think about the crawl space think about the Attic think about the exterior walls in your old home and are they insulated.

Losing 63% of their energy due to inefficient and unprofessional shortcuts that drain our entire country of energy we're in an energy loss.

Volunteering must always stem from passion and the inner conviction to drive change in the community, nevertheless It can be overwhelming sometimes but, always learn to listen to your guts or the sixth sense. You need to know when to step off.

Indeed, volunteering can be quite draining and counterproductive. However, this mostly steeds from the mindset of the volunteer. As a serial volunteer, I evaluate all opportunities weighing them against my available time and resources before venturing into it.

I recently read a blog that used the analogy of a teacup ☕️ and saucer. I paraphrase~ if your cup is full to overflowing it might spill over into the saucer. So if you give from your saucer you’ll be giving from the over flow not from the cup which represents what you yourself need. Something to that effect. So if your cup is half full - you might need to reflect on that and decide to intentionally set boundaries until your saucer is full. As a Christian - I’ve not always set boundaries - I’ve been charitable and busy which usually follows with burn out. In order to thrive my source of overflow is God my creator. Balance is key 🔑

Volunteering should never be exhausting. If you suffer pain or lethargy, remember that you can volunteer in lots of ways. And there's nothing wrong with taking a less tasking role. I once volunteered before & after work, totaling 18hrs on my feet, and you have to treat that like a marathon, pacing yourself & getting what you need. But unlike a marathon, you can take breaks, because the goal is to endure the time, not do more with it. One good way to last is to delegate roles to others & let them handle things. You're volunteering, so let it be fun, engage with others. And ask where you can assist. It's not a test, you have nothing to prove.
