58 分钟I want people to know that they're not fine on Monday and burned out on Friday.
That's not how that works.
That triad of exhaustion, cynicism and ineffectiveness occurs over time, and you're adjusting to all of that.
It's not your fault.
It's actually a wake up call.
Burnout is a wake up call telling you that the way that you've done this has served you until now.
We want to thank that.
Thank you.
Thank you for those mechanisms.
Thank you for getting me here.
But this is a wake up call telling you that what's gotten you here isn't going to get you where you're going.
Crises in our life are here to tell us, like, huh, is this where you really want to go?
Let's double check.
Let's make sure that the choices we're making fill our hearts with meaningful, purposeful steps on the journey.
And are we just doing them because that's what other people say we should do, or are we doing it because this is what really fuels us and what we want to do?
So have you ever felt so exhausted, drained at the end of your rope, even downright cynical about everything from relationships to work and the world that you just knew that this wasnt you, but you couldnt quite figure out how to get out of that feeling?
That is the reality of something a lot of people experience that we call burnout.
Its a state of just physical and mental and emotional depletion that can leave us feeling hopeless and helpless.
And in case youre wondering, no, its not just about work.
It can happen to anyone and be brought on by a piling on effect that comes from nearly any and all directions.
