Preventing personal burnout

Be more aware and conscious about what happens in your reality.  

To understand what is draining your energy, it is appropriate to observe which spheres dominate your life Today?

  • Work
  • Cash
  • Children
  • Health
  • Food
  • Social life
  • Addiction problems (gambling, alcoholism, etc.)
  • Couple life
  • Hobbies

Add a percentage of your time spent per day for each sphere. If you don't feel comfortable with the time spend or worry about a specific sphere, you always can decide to manage your time otherwise.

Try to put some words on your actual mood. 

Sometimes it can happen that you don't feel good about your life. Putting words to what you feel is not easy for anyone. You have been feeling tired for several months, you are in a gloomy mood most of the time, or you have felt anxious several times in recent months. These are life episodes that can happen without you really knowing why. There has been no particular recent event that could explain your condition, and yet this feeling persists.

If you are sad, or feel unhappy, and you don't know why, you should consult a psychologist.  They are trained to help you make sense of what is happening to you. Meeting a professional, outside your life and who does not judge your behaviour, can be very helpful when you feel lost. This allows us to understand each other better and, above all, know ourselves better. You will learn tools to detect contexts in which you do not feel well, and you will have a space just for you.

Make a Bulletin Board (Build your new mindset)

If you have a clear picture of the situation that you want to change, make a diagram like a schema on cardboard with:

  1. Actual situation: (describe the advantage vs the disadvantage to status quo)
  2. Level of actual stress (describe if you can stand it and for how long)
  3. Future dream situation that you want (like changing work, find a new partner) (describe the advantage vs the disadvantage to status quo)
  4. Evaluate the personal investment need, to change from the actual situation to the new one ($, time, etc.) 
  5. Put photo to show the next situation you want (new house, live on a beach, etc.)
This will help to put and maintain a good mindset for what is your planning. 

 

How to progress in the face of change

The ability to adapt to new circumstances depends greatly on our attitude with which we approach change. Our attitude influence also our way and tolerance to face unexpected events without having time to prepare for them.

  • The surprise effect of change, the scale of the shock on our lives are determining elements;

  • Being available to tap into the deep desire within us to find a state of emotional balance is one of the good attitudes to have. Although resisting change is the first stage of the normal adaptation process, not everyone moves towards acceptance of the situation experienced.

  • Someone can remain stuck in their frustration or sadness about the situation they are experiencing and have difficulty finding a certain stability in their life

In times of difficulty, it is by adopting an attitude of acceptance, openness and confidence in our faculties that we can progress towards a new balance. Some would say that they trusted life itself, despite their misunderstanding or the meaninglessness of the situation.

On the path to personal progression

Some of the steps to help you get through difficult life situations:

  1. Always accept the facts of the life situation (your reality) and the change need;
  2. Remain receptive to support from others (Even a dead queen bee can be resurrected by her worker bees, help or graceful can come from heaven too in some special case)
  3. Maintain your desire for progress in your life (intellectual, strength, justice, financial, comfort, skill, spiritual, etc.)

 When we feel exhausted, fragile, it's time to:

  • Show humility, recognize your vulnerability in the ordeal

  • Taking a step back and taking time for yourself, sometimes it means taking a break of the work or sleeping better;

  • Feel and become aware of your emotions and your means. Don't withdraw into yourself, open up to others, share what you're feeling

  • Act by setting realistic goals for change and living them one day at a time;

  • Accepting yourself means recognizing your strengths, your difficulties, your abilities, your limits and expressing your needs.

  • Recharging our batteries means making room for what makes us feel good, gives us energy (sometimes it means accepting help and support from those around us too)

  • Go exploring, find out new ways to improve, organize what happens next, take charge of yourself

  • Choose not to give up, choose to progress;

  • Make real efforts to cope and adapt to the situation

  • Connect with others, collaborate and stop confronting

  • Think about doing good, eating better, playing sports, walking, sleeping longer. (Add Turmeric and Butternut Squash to Your Mediterranean Diet, this will feed your brain and full strength)

  • Allow yourself moments of respite, let go of stress
