How I Overcame A Burnout and You Can Too

Occasionally, I have the urge to begin burnout. Lately, I get tired on any ordinary day, even when I don’t have much to do. As soon as I wake up, I always want to lay back down for someone who lives a kind of ordinary life, well, nothing too extravagant like constantly climbing mount Everest or trying to discover the following scientific equations. Well, I have to say that I still get tired quite often. I guess that is the entire purpose of my writing. This is to let you know anyone can have the strength to conquer drowsiness.

Feeling tired is normal, but it’s about what you do to change that. Unlike some people, when they feel tired, they keep doing the same things repeatedly. How in the world is that going to help you? I get exhausted and don’t know what I can write. Coming from someone who writes a lot, I probably had burnout a few times. Overall I got out of it one way or another.

Before saying you have burnout, you should know for sure. Maybe you are tired and need to go to bed earlier to sleep at least 8 hours instead of 4. According to Mayo Clinic, when it comes to your job, it can resonate with anything else in life; therefore, ask yourself these questions. Do you have a lack of energy? Are you finding it hard to concentrate? Do you lack satisfaction from your achievement? If so, then you probably have a burnout. Of course, it could be more serious such as depression. But now, let’s talk about the old fashion burnout, especially at work. 

After answering those questions, it’s time to answer yours on whether or not your burnout; some symptoms of burnout are feeling useless, fatigue, headaches, becoming cynical (a lack of interest in work), or everything getting under your skin. The good thing is that there are many things you can do that can help motivate you to do work. I find out one main thing I do is look at things differently and try to change my usual routine. Here’s what I did to help overcome burnout.

Change your habits

I changed my routine and mixed it up once in a blue moon. Of course, having practice is a good thing. But I had to find a way to change my mood. So the rest of my day would be good. Most importantly, you should find out why your schedule is essential by figuring out the purpose of your work.  

Do something fun

As an adult, sometimes stress comes from working so you can make a living. Therefore, you should do an activity for your enjoyment and not because you have to. Life shouldn’t have to be all work. Put it this way, have you ever been tired the day before you’re about to do something exciting? I know for sure I accomplished so many things the day before. You don’t always have to go somewhere; a staycation would be nice. Here’s a tip for you to enjoy your life. Letting go just a little bit from all the work you have to do might do some good.

The greatest wealth is health.

Take a break

Severe burnout is when you are fatigued if it comes to the point and you’re working. Then, you probably can’t stop to pick up and going on a wild vacation out of nowhere. Then maybe you should take longer breaks and try to be away from your phone or technology. That would help since you don’t want to receive work- emails. When you finally get a delicious snack in your mouth and feel good about yourself. Well, at least a little bit, anyway. Of course, This would’ve fallen into changing your routine. The step of taking a break has so much information, so it deserves to be on its own. 

Burnout is normal, but it’s all about how you get through it, and time will tell. Overall I hope this brings you some security and help. That you’re not the only one having the same feeling. Also, don’t feel bad about doing things that make you feel good about yourself. Remember these two things, change your habits, and do something fun.
