IMPORTANCE OF RADICAL CARE
I need for you to go and deal with whatever you’re feeling about this situation, then come back. I need you 100%, I can’t have 50% of you.
You don’t realize how much you have to deal with until you get in an intentional space to deal with it.
When you’re called, the passion begins driving you so much, you lose the passion for the work.
When you’re not feeling right, you’re feeling weird, listen to your body.
SYMPTOMS OF BURNOUT
What are the burnout triggers? What are the burnout safeguards?
Burnout triggers are: Irritated easily, not listening well, being very direct, when I get tired thinking about the future, not eating good food When the sleeping pattern is so disruptive, know on the verge of hitting a wall.
Our work is so much bigger than us, so when we don’t take the time to understand that, it can overwhelm you.
Sometimes you can have too many voices around you, all well intended, this is also a sign, when I have too many people speaking into my life about what I need to be doing.
Burnout can be not thinking straight, making poor decision, judgment off, not negotiating well… it’s NOT just I can’t get out of the bed. Look for it during the day to day.
Be unapologetic about who I need, don’t need, who I need in my space, don’t need in my space.
When you’re doing good, it doesn’t feel like work.
It’s not all about the money, it’s about the intrinsic value. In the US, people are trying to figure out how they can bring purpose and meaning to someone’s day. Realizing they have been capitalistic and where is it going to take us?
LIFE and LEADERSHIP UNPLUGGED PODCAST
What do you do to reset?
What is your purpose and how are you going to sustain in your purpose without burn out?
This is across every sector, everyone deals with burnout.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Your “why” does evolve and each layer brings in new people to chase purpose.
My hope for you is that you continue to trailblazer, show up as your authentic self as you always do and continue to fight the good fight. The hope, strength and tenacity and the burgeon passion to always do what is right. Use your voice to speak to power as you have so eloquently done for years.
