Episode 135: Actor Burnout & Overwhelm


Listen Later

Burnout means you are at a point where an extended period of time has gone by without you taking care of yourself.

Whatever you put before taking care of yourself, you're going to lose.

When you're burnt out take a step back and observe.

Overwhelm happens when I am trying to catch up with what my ego thinks I can get done.

Slow down and look at a week, a month, a quarter, a year.

Start to plan, and take some of the pressure off.

Emotions that come up:

  • Burnout
  • tired
  • defeated
  • disappointed in myself

Cure:

  • Baby step it.
  • Take time off and just take care of me.
  • Journal.
