Welcome to my blog! The place where I discuss burnout and how you can take control of your life again!
As a psychologist, life coach, and wellness strategist who has worked in the field for over a decade, I know firsthand how burnout can dramatically impact your life.
I have experienced burnout at various stages and in different areas of my life [stay tuned for more on this in another blog!].
I went from thinking "I'm okay... It's not too bad..." to thinking "I can't do this... I don't want to do this."
Does any of this sound familiar?
You are strained at work or at home.
You have trouble sleeping? Either you don't sleep or it is not restful.
You need more and more time to recover from stress.
You feel emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted by all of the things you have to do.
You are currently unmotivated with tasks you used to enjoy.
While these are several warning signs of burnout, they are not the only signs. There are MANY indicators or RED FLAGS that show you are burning out or headed down the path of burnout.
Honestly, you only need to identify one red flag to realize something needs to change!
BUT that rarely happens right!! We wait until we have ULTIMATE CONFIRMATION. We want tons of red flags before we decide it's time to change.
Sometimes we wait until we are that car on the side of the road!
You know what I mean. You have seen it and thought "OH NO THAT SUCKS!"
Perhaps the car ran out of gas and just stopped...
Or perhaps the driver failed to get the car checked out and a part stopped working properly....
Or perhaps the driver pushed the car too hard and a piece just POPPED or SNAPPED!
Regardless of the reason, the car is not working and you can't reach your destination without spending more time and energy to fix it.
Is this you?
Are you the car on the side of the road?
Maybe you haven't broken down YET, but you feel yourself sputtering and know that you may stop at any time.
Or maybe you have one or more lights on your dashboard that let you know maintenance is required!
Are you ready to admit something needs to be fixed?
The reality is, you cannot go at the same pace or even make it to your destination without making a change.
You need to reset
If you found yourself nodding or saying "Yes... that's me" throughout any of this blog then you may need a reset.
And, know this... if you feel like you are caught in the relentless cycle of exhaustion and you feel overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Burnout is a significant and damaging state that affects many of us at different points in our lives.
That is why this blog was created!
I don't want you to simply acknowledge the existence of burnout- I want to help you end the burnout cycle!
Let's STOP dismissing the warning signs and normalizing stress and overwhelm.
Let's START identifying the warning signs for what they are: SIGNS that something is wrong. You cannot fix what you don't acknowledge is a problem.
Have the courage to RESET!
