Understanding Burnout
Burnout is a state of chronic physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion, often accompanied by feelings of cynicism and detachment from work. It can result from prolonged stress, lack of control at work, being in a toxic work environment, and overworking, leading to decreased productivity and a sense of helplessness.
Some symptoms of burnout include:
-
Feeling drained and overwhelmed by work demands most of the time
-
Increased frequency of sickness
-
Feeling trapped, defeated, and hopeless about work
-
Loss of motivation and withdrawal from responsibilities
-
Developing a detached or negative attitude towards your job and colleagues
-
Experiencing a sense of ineffectiveness and lack of achievement
When work is overwhelming, our life also loses balance. We might not be able to show up fully for the people we love and other responsibilities in life, leaving us feeling guilty and even more stressed.
But it’s possible to heal from burnout and not let work stress take over your life.
