Burnout: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention (Based on My Experience)
Burnout is a complex phenomenon, and there’s usually not a single cause. There are also varying degrees of burnout. I recently experienced (and am still experiencing) a pretty brutal burnout, and I’m going to talk about it with the purpose of sharing worthwhile information and tips with you. Whether or not you are burned out, there will be something of value to you in this post as far as improving your peace of mind and overall quality of life.
In this post I’ll be discussing with you the following:
- What caused my burnout, and what are the causes of burnout for others? (causes)
- How do you get through a burnout? And what do you do when you hit “rock bottom”? (symptoms)
- How do you prevent burnout moving forward? (prevention)
Are you, or is someone you know, burned out? Do you see yourself at all in any of the following details? I hope this post will inspire you to identify the root cause, address it, and move forward to a better and healthier place.
Even if you’re not burned out now, being aware of the causes and how to prevent it will be beneficial to you. And if you are burned out, please know that you’re not alone and we will get through this together.
