Did you know that there are 12 stages of burnout?  Did you also know that burnout can show up in many different forms within your life, such as physically, mentally, and emotionally?

Dr. Morgan Levy is a licensed psychologist focusing on working with executives and professionals from all over the world.  As a high-achieving professional, you’ve always valued your drive, perseverance, and ability to get things done. Dr. Levy helps people to channel these skills to optimize their life in the workplace and beyond.

Throughout our conversation, two points became a point of emphasis; expectations and mindfulness.

An underlying cause of burnout can be our inability to manage expectations.  Mindfulness is our ability to be present in the moment.  You can also think of mindfulness as our ability to be aware of our emotional temperature. 

When it comes to burnout, anxiety, or stress, Dr. Levy warns us not to wait until we are struggling to reach out for help.  Pay attention to those around us who may see the warning signs of something serious before we can see it ourselves.  She also encourages us to practice mindfulness when times are good, when we can build up our muscle memory, to be used when we face stressful situations.
