Hey, Podsters! Today we are talking about a topic that hits close to home for many of us: BURNOUT.
Now, before you roll your eyes and think, "I've heard it all before," you might want to stick around because you could be in the middle or approaching burnout, and thinking you’re just tired.
Still doubtful? Would you be shocked if I told you nearly 50% of women reported experiencing burnout even BEFORE the pandemic?
Here’s why I’m bringing this topic to you today and it’s still a little raw for me. A few weeks back, I hit a rough patch. Despite my usual “glass half full” optimism - I found myself feeling drained, unable to catch up on my energy and walking around with a consistent case of the blahs. Eventually I realized that I wasn’t simply tired or lacking vitamin D.
I was burnt out.
And if it happened to me, I know it's happening to others too.
Now, burnout isn't just about feeling tired or overworked. It could show up for you as exhaustion, overwhelm, cynicism, lack of motivation, or detachment from the things that used to bring us joy. Perhaps all at the same time. Yikes.
What many people like us don’t realize as we “power through” is that is left unaddressed, burnout can last weeks, months and even years.
So buckle up - as it’s time to check yourself before you wreck yourself!
The best way to deal with burnout is to avoid it in the first place and here are three things you can do now to avoid or bring f yourself out of this undesirable state of being.
Boundaries. At work, with clients, at home or wherever you may be: setting clear boundaries is the key. Learn to say no when necessary and prioritize your well-being. Listen in today for real life scripts.
Physical self-care. This is not about facials and pedicures. It's about drinking water, getting enough rest, and moving your body. Doing what you know works for you physically.
Connection. Whether it's reaching out to a friend, a partner, or a therapist, connecting with another person to let them know what’s going on is not only suggested, it’s necessary.
So Podsters, if you're feeling the burn, know that you're not alone. With the right tools and support, you can overcome burnout and thrive once again.
Spring is here—a perfect time for a reset, renewal and self-care.
