#127. Five Ways to Avoid Burnout


Listen Later

Today we’re going to talk about burnout, so I want to ask you – Are you feeling lethargic and struggling with productivity lately because mentally, you’ve been feeling absolutely exhausted even before you start to work each day? Well, if this sounds like you, it may well be that you are suffering from burnout. And yes, this is a real thing.

Right now, our society is experiencing an epidemic of burnout because there are so many people who are worrying about their families, their jobs, their livelihoods, the rising cost of their mortgages, how they are going to feed their children, while some are having to take care of aging parents also. This is causing us all to feel mentally and physically exhausted, sapping our motivation, and constantly feeling emotionally and mentally drained and overwhelmed. However, burnout is complex and usually not caused by just one thing. Some of these causes can be self-inflicted too. But the good news is that burnout doesn’t have to hang around in your life.

And in this episode, we are going to identify five steps that you can take to help you reclaim your physical and mental energy to put you back into an alert and action-oriented state.
