Today, we are talking about burnout. It's that feeling where your brain feels absolutely fried and you are overwhelmed with the growing to-do list and you have no motivation to do. Everyone has experienced burnout. It’s a natural emotion to feel so today we are going to talk about what can cause burnout and how to get out of it.
I see burnout in two different ways. In social situations and in school
When we experience burnout with friends and family you might start to ignore some texts, or feel like it’s a chore to hangout with them.
At school, we feel burnout when we see the homework assignments start to pile up, and we have no motivation to finish them. With friendships and family, it might prove to be useful to spend alone time to recharge. We all have social batteries, and it is important to spend time to recharge.
The best way to heal a case of burnout is to slow down. Find time where you can reconnect with yourself and realign your priorities.At school, the worst thing to do is let your homework slip. Put aside some time, even if it’s just 30 minutes, to get some of your homework pile done. The more you procrastinate and neglect the work, the worse you will feel in the long run.
