PhinisheD! Advice: "Neglecting yourself leads to burnout. Fresh air, movement, and supportive self-talk will keep you and your mind healthy enough to finish. Self-punishment doesn’t create motivation; it teaches you to associate work with pain and avoidance. Avoidance patterns must be replaced with feelings of safety. Add positive reinforcement back into your routine and adjust your environment so progress feels supportive and easier rather than threatening and difficult. A healthier ecosystem can rebuild confidence and sustainable productivity faster than trying to “think” your way out of years of self-criticism."
