If you're struggling to deal with moral outrage or moral injury at work, and it's contributing to burnout for you, here are some ways you can heal your suffering.

Don't stay in suffering, take action because you DO have some measure of control.

When we accept the status quo, and change seems impossible, there is a new way to understand our dilemma that opens doors.

Are you stuck in burnout or career growth?

Let's talk about breaking free from stuckness and overcoming burnout. The origins of stuckness lie in our self-belief and fears, and burnout symptoms prevent us seeing past them.  This is the cycle of exhaustion and frustration, and the behaviors that perpetuate it, including busywork and self-doubt.

Recovery of greatness comes from acts of self-kindness, goal-setting, and redefining success, as well as addressing the impact of childhood experiences on self-perception.

I teach self-support, making peace with failure, and seeking personal approval over external validation. Here is genuine possibility for a joyous life and successful recovery from burnout.

Our human bodies are designed to heal, but under a constant burden of high stress, not enough sleep, poor diet, lack of exercise, less than nourishing social connections and willful self-neglect, thriving is not always possible.

At the peak of burnout, our bodies lose tone, vitality and resilience. Many new clients come to me with signs of bodily wear and tear as a result, e.g. inflammatory conditions, chronic pain, migraines, insomnia, high blood pressure, weight and gut issues and so on. In my case, it was a heart attack.

Listen to this episode for restorative tips, and if you feel your health is impacted by stress, please TAKE ACTION.

Burnout recovery improves health. Many chronic conditions can be relieved simply by restoring vitality, mood and connection, as we abandon our crippling stress habits and tend to our mind, body and soul.

It can be tough(!) to pause for self-care when burnt out, but those essential pauses can be transformative. I've learned that the act of being kind to oneself is not a luxury; it's a necessity - our souls die without it. Don't they?

Do you wish people would support you more?
Are you being a bit TOO tough on yourself?
What do you think would happen if you DID practice self-kindness amidst life's pressures? 

Let's explore how to rescue your starving soul and restore the wellbeing you truly want and deserve, which will strongly support your burnout recovery. The days of being harsh to yourself may well be over! And not a moment too soon! If harshness worked, you'd already know.

Are your feeling burned out and stuck because of learned helplessness? It can happen to anyone!

In a burnout context, Learned Helplessness can simply be an old pattern of thinking amenable to gentle self-supporting change. e.g. for me, around academic success.

Overcoming it will help you regain control of your life. Becoming curious about where and why you feel helpless can help you see through its false ideas and find ways to support yourself, become stronger, and feel better overall.

N.B. If your experience is trauma-related, please instead seek medical/therapeutic help.

One of the most common indicators of burnout is feeling disrespected. 

We tend to feel unacknowledged, under-valued, unsupported and used. Which we naturally don't appreciate when we're also giving our all as highly skilled and over-worked professionals.

So, this week here are my top 4 tips to handle the oversized emotional trigger of feeling disrespected and put yourself back in the driver's seat.

Learn how to maintain control over your internal reactions, reframe the situation to your advantage, practice self-acceptance, feel your emotions fully, and depersonalize the incident/s.

Feeling undervalued and overwhelmed in your professional life?

As someone who has navigated the murky waters of burnout, I've learned that self-advocacy isn't just about speaking up—it's about recognizing your worth. Let's talk about why asserting your needs can reignite passion in your work and how it's a game-changer for your emotional well-being.

Many of us have been conditioned to believe we shouldn't make waves or demand better for ourselves, but I've learned that self-worth is non-negotiable.

We humans spend much of our time lying outrageously to ourselves  about ourselves and our own capabilities, twisting the data to  match our beliefs.

Which would be fine, except in burnout, when our beliefs suck. Specifically, we see limitations where none exist.

Let's take a fresh look, and open up an exciting new world of possibility simply by changing our perceptions.

Show Notes:
The Myth of Normal, Gabor Mate
Four questions, Byron Katie

Thoughts to ask about your limiting beliefs:
Is this thought true?
How do you know it's true? 
Whose voice is it in? 
Who taught you the belief? Why?
What age did you learn the belief?
Does this belief align with your values?
Was there a time when it wasn't true?
Under what circumstances could it not be true now, or in future?
If it wasn't true, what would you be free to do?
Do you want to KEEP believing this thought?
