What do you do if burnout is hindering your ability to guide and support your mentees?

Quanto maior o autoconhecimento, maior é a identifica??o da saúde emocional e mental. Fa?a uma lista sobre a sua oscila??o de humor, esteja conectado aos seus horários e à sua energia em cada momento. Pergunte-se: - Como estou me sentindo/percebo? - Como meu corpo está respondendo às minhas atividades? - Como me sinto em um ambiente competitivo?

Mentoring is a human connect. If the mentoring is done in a true spirit of mutual exchange of energy, it energises both mentee and mentor. There is no question of burnout, and on the contrary, mentoring relationships give more energy to both parties. If there is one-way traffic then one person is energised at the cost of the other and burnout can happen. In that case, the mentor needs to ask what his or her intentions are in the mentoring relationship? Why does it deplete one party of energy? Such mentoring is unhealthy to both parties in the longer run and it needs to either stop or transform into a more mutual synergistic relationship.

Be honest and authentic. People already know you're struggling. Enlist their support by being real! Then, return to the thing, activity, or place that fuels you. All humans "leak," and we need to do whatever fills us up.

Si estás de malas, nada te sale, crees que todos los demás tienen la culpa y que el universo está en tu contra es momento de hacer una pausa y descansar física, mental y emocionalmente. Es como en la F1 debes ir a los pits a que te chequen. Así que ve programando tu siguiente parada en pits.

As a mentor it is important to have already established good healthy boundaries for yourself. Also recognise and act fast if overwhelm starts to set in. As a mentor if healthy boundaries are not put into place we may start to carry our mentee’s energy in the form of our own anxiety. It important to be able to say no. It is important to feel safe enough to ask for help and guidance too. Mentor and mentee are in a relationship of trust and sometimes that means being vulnerable and that is ok. Boundary setting helps avoid burnout.

1. Manage your workload: Be honest about how much you can take on. Don't be afraid to say no to new commitments if you're already stretched thin. 2. Set boundaries: Let your mentees and colleagues know when you're available and when you're not. 3. Prioritize well: Focus on the most important tasks related to mentoring, and delegate or reschedule less urgent things. 4. Take breaks: Schedule time for yourself to recharge and avoid burnout. 5. Communicate openly: Talk to your mentees about your limitations and work together to find solutions. Remember, a burnt-out mentor can't be very helpful. Taking care of yourself is essential so you can continue to be a great support for your mentees!

Review commitments: Can you delegate tasks or reduce mentees? Set clear expectations: Define meeting frequency and communication style. Learn to say "no" gracefully: Prioritize your well-being.

Usualmente el discurso siempre es da la milla extra, aporta el 110% pero se hacen sacrificios inconscientes en el camino y no nos damos cuenta de los que vamos perdiendo al ir "ganando". Actualmente es necesario crecer con conciencia de los costos que tiene el crecimiento para poder gestionarlos mejor; muchas veces se deja de lado una buena alimentación, un sue?o reparador, o una breve sesión de entrenamiento. Recordar que el éxito es completo no solo en lo laboral o económico.

Get clear on what it is that you need right now and what you can honestly handle. Maybe that's a sabbatical. Maybe it's decreasing your mentee load. Maybe it's a vacation. Maybe it's setting firm boundaries around when you start and stop working. Maybe you learn and develop routines to intelligently manage your own energy and needs. Ultimately the answer will lie with what your capacity is for work, for caring for yourself and for your other responsibilities. One of the ways in which we burnout is not having good boundaries around our time and commitments. What do you need to say no to and what boundaries do you need to put into place in order to start reclaiming some of your energy?

Talk to fellow mentors: Share experiences and find solutions. Seek guidance from program coordinators: Discuss workload concerns. Get mentee feedback: Are expectations aligned? Can they be adjusted?

The biggest source of healing I experienced when I went through burnout was opening up and talking about it with others in my chiropractic profession. It not only helped me process and heal, it helped others who were in a similar place to me with their own burnout journey. By talking about it an openness was created in talking about our mutual experiences and sharing resources, support, advice, encouragement and a sense of community around it all.

Find good mentor for yourself! Be a part of proffesional comunities and share your difficulties, most probably your are not alone, and others already find the way ho to deal with burnout. Also good to pay attention to do regular fitness, add ice bath to your morning ritual.

It definitely helps to share with others like yourself. This gives insight on what others do and gives motivation and encouragement to what you are doing. Another thing is we can ask mentees questions like 'Did this help? How did you find this advice? Are you step farther from where you were yesterday?' Once there are positive responses, this gives feedback to motivate you to continue.

Como mentor, muitas vezes seu trabalho é realizado de forma individual e sozinho, com poucas intera??es por fora. Por isso na avalia??o da sua agenda, é preciso que você veja espa?os para ter intera??o social e, se possível, tiver um sócio ou parceiro de trabalho para trocar sobre as atividades pode fazer toda a diferen?a. às vezes você está com dificuldade de solucionar um problema e esta pessoa externa pode te ajudar com novos insights, diminuindo o seu senso crítico e facilitando a a??o.

1. Prioritize your well-being: Eat healthy, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. 2. Manage stress: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or spend time on hobbies you enjoy. 3. Seek support: Talk to a friend, family member, or therapist about how you're feeling. 4. Celebrate your wins: Acknowledge your accomplishments as a mentor! 5. Keep learning: Take a course or read a book to develop yourself personally and professionally. Remember: Taking care of yourself is key to being a great mentor for others. Bonus Tip: If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to adjust your mentoring schedule. Talk to your mentee and see if you can temporarily reduce the frequency of meetings.

If you think you might be experiencing burnout, it's important to take steps to address it. Here are some things you can do: Reduce your workload: If possible, delegate tasks or take on fewer commitments. Set boundaries: Learn to say no to requests that will add to your stress. Take care of yourself: Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods & exercising regularly. Seek support: Talk to a friend, family member, therapist, or colleague about what you're going through. Seek Professional help if need be: Reach out for a Mental Health Professional to get a better perspective of the root cause behind your burnouts & finding a solution. By addressing burnout, you can improve your well-being and become a more effective mentor.

Prioritize self-care: Exercise, healthy eating, relaxation techniques. Maintain personal development: Learn new skills to stay engaged. Set boundaries between work and personal life: Disconnect to recharge.

Es como las mascarillas de oxígeno en un avión; en una emergencia primero eres tu y luego los demás. Para poder apoyar es necesario siempre estar aprendiendo y descubriendo nuevas cosas no puedes apoyar a los demás con tu versión incompleta, cansada o insatisfecha, primero te cuidas tu y estando al 100% ahora eres capaz de multiplicar tú impacto en los demás.

I don't know how many times I have told others to take care of themselves before others and I have failed miserably to do it. As a woman I deprive myself of sleep, good food and personal hygiene. 1. Rest well Sleep the required number of hours that can wake you up refreshed. Do activities before bed that make you wake up excited for the day. 2. Good food By this I mean food that refreshes energises you. Organize grown produce is the best. 3. Personal Hygiene Simple tasks like totally detangling my afro, shaving or doing my eyebrows are neglected. I've come make time so I feel good about myself. I am important too.

Recognize your limits: Don't be afraid to step away temporarily. Celebrate successes: Focus on the positive impact you have. Focus on quality over quantity: Deep, meaningful interactions are better.

Tenha em mente que você é humano. Considere que falar é um ato de pessoas que est?o buscando resultados. Estabele?a horários para descanso. Utilize atividades físicas como aliadas.

Rarely the causes of your own burnout have to do with your role as a mentor. Where burnout is hindering your ability to guide and support your mentees, think on what a mentor is expected to do with them. It will then be easier to consider actions to be taken to counteract those causes, without letting it affect your effectiveness as a mentor: even your burn-out could be an important source of growth for yours mentees if you are able to use it as an opportunity to let them positively live this experience. And this could help you, at the same time, to positively deal with it.

- Communicate with your mentee (very transparently!). Be honest with your mentee about your current state. Explain that burnout is affecting your ability to provide the level of support you usually do. - Offer alternatives. You can explore alternative ways to support them during this time. Some options: Try reducing contact: try to adjust your meeting frequency. Focus on shorter, more focused check-ins to avoid overwhelming yourself. Suggest resources: direct them to helpful resources like online courses, articles, or workshops related to their goals. If necessary, connect them with another mentor. See if there's another mentor in your network who could provide additional support during this time.

I would encourage: 1. Going out For a few hours or one day just go to the beach, watch a field sport or just hang out with friends and family at a park. Good scenery and loved ones can help unwind and refresh. 2. Travel Take a couple of days to weeks to travel to a new place. Take in the culture, the sights and learn a new language in that place. These are things I don't normally do so it would be something I would consider.
