We explore the concept of burnout as a state of mental and physical exhaustion that occurs when we're constantly "switched on" without adequate rest periods. This episode provides practical strategies to recognize and address burnout before it significantly impacts your wellbeing.
• Burnout begins with passion—giving more energy than you receive
• Your behavior might appear unchanged while your thoughts and feelings reveal exhaustion
• Balance energy-giving activities with energy-depleting ones throughout your day
• Regular physical activity helps discharge stress stored in the body
• Like farmland needs rest after harvest, humans need recovery periods after intense productivity
