If the occasional bad day has become the norm rather than the exception, it might indicate burnout. My guest, Carolyn Warren, can share what you can do about it and how she can help. We all have bad days...when even the most straightforward task requires us to engage all our limited reserves or when we’re irritated, apathetic, and have a short fuse. Who hasn’t had a time when they felt like running away from it all? With the demands of our modern-day lifestyle, we are challenged to manage our stress levels and balance work and home responsibilities. Usually, the bad days pass, and we recharge and return to feeling like our usual selves. But if that bad day turns into a week, a month, or even a year or more? If the occasional bad day has become the norm rather than the exception, it might indicate burnout. So let’s define what burnout is. Burnout is a state of emotional, psychological, and physical exhaustion that results from enduring chronic and long-term stress. To understand burnout, we’ll dig deeper into its symptoms and look at ways to prevent it. According to Association for Psychological Science, there are five different types of burnout: 1) Overload is the frenetic, hair-on-fire work ethic of giving it all you’ve got until there’s nothing left to give. 2) Overload burnout makes people feel their goals and ambitions are out of their hands and that they are at the mercy of outside factors such as unrealistic expectations, demanding bosses, or office hierarchy. 3) Under-load is the absence of challenging opportunities to engage you. Lack of opportunity for personal growth and development can lead to disinterest and poor performance, negatively impacting morale. 4) Under-challenged, we tend to become cynical and manage stress by withdrawing from life. Sometimes burnout results from being bored. 5) Worn-out is when a person is emotionally fatigued from dealing with stressors, and instead of choosing ‘fight or flight,’ they give up. They may still want to achieve a goal but lack the motivation to push through the necessary obstacles. To learn more about Carolyn Warren: https://www.apriltribegiauque.com/pos...
