One of the most common (and confusing) mantras I see? "Give yourself grace."

Just scrolling through wellness accounts and hashtags on social media, you can get inundated with energy-boosting recipes, restorative yoga posts, and inspirational mantras to help you address burnout and chronic stress. In my work as an anti-burnout speaker and expert, I've seen and heard it all when it comes to possible solutions for managing burnout. They are joyful givers.When you’re stuck in a tough spot at work-you’re *this close* to burnout, you’re wondering whether your job is the right fit, your office culture could use a serious upgrade-who do you turn to? Your mentor, who has years of experience you can rely on? Your mom, who always keeps your best interests in mind? Or your BFF, who is dependable for a killer pep talk? Put all three perspectives in a blender, and you’ve got Well+Good’s career advice column. And that produces joy, and the opportunity to give and to help other believers in need, and to give so that the good news of the gospel goes unto the ends of the earth, that fills their whole beings with joy! They cannot contain the joy in fact, it overflows their hearts and their lips and it infuses their giving as well. They are by God’s grace, through faith, overflowing with joy because of all of the spiritual blessings that God has done for them through Jesus. They are not looking at the things that are seen, but the things that are not seen. Their hope is a living hope and it is set fully on the revelation of Jesus Christ.

God is supernaturally gifting them by His grace so that even in midst of remarkably great sufferings they are over-abounding with joy! How can that be? Well their minds are not on earthly things.

They have an abundance or an overabundance of joy! This is how you know their lives are infused by God’s grace.
