@lancemechanics10: Mechanic Burnout: Why Weekends Are For Recovery Tradespeople understand the exhaustion. When our husband comes home and stares into space, they are burnt. Mechanics, tradesmen, burn out needing a day to reset, made tougher by family and chores. It takes a day to recover. #MechanicLife #TradesmanBurnout #WeekendRecovery #WorkLifeBalance #Exhaustion #HeavyEquipment #Automotive #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #TradesLife
When you finally take a holiday, that first week back is a battle, definitely questioning my life choices 😅

I’m 25 years in and 43. I train before and after work. I feel good. Eat proper food and have a killer mindset. Don’t get sucked in to misery! Life is what you make it! Have a positive outlook and don’t be the victim! 👊🔥🙏

Most Saturdays, I catch myself thinking about the cars I finished on Friday, wondering if I forgot any nuts or bolts throughout the week😂😂😂

Do nothing on Saturdays because of this! Been in the industry for the last 10 years! Agree we need to let out mind and body rest! 💪🔧 Mental health is important for everyone!

Im a mechanic and own my shop. Well. I sometimes literally sleep there when I have to finish something. It is demanding, no doubt. But very rewarding if you don’t work for someone
