Toxicity from one’s local environment can come in many forms. Overall, we can say that toxicity is something that challenges us, something that serves to restrict our true, or desired expression, or intention, in that moment.
One key aspect of burnout, is the surrounding toxicity of your working environment. It might seem easy to ignore those things, even normalise them, however, every coping thought takes away your thinking time, and also your resilience to the impact of further toxic events, such as criticism from a colleague.
