1 Loss of motivation

One of the most common signs of burnout is losing your motivation and enthusiasm for your work. You may feel like you're just going through the motions, or that your work doesn't matter or make a difference. You may also lose interest in your professional goals, learning, or development. To regain your motivation, try to reconnect with your purpose and values. Remind yourself why you chose this career and what you enjoy about it. Seek feedback and recognition for your achievements and contributions. Set realistic and meaningful objectives and celebrate your progress.

It is important to recognize an early loss of passion or purpose as a sign of burnout. One cannot override this with hard work or "nose to the ground", sheer will alone. It requires a pause, break, and reconnection with the mind, body, and spirit.

2 Emotional exhaustion

Another sign of burnout is feeling emotionally drained and overwhelmed by your work. You may feel like you have no energy, resilience, or patience left. You may also experience negative emotions such as frustration, anger, sadness, or anxiety. You may have trouble coping with your emotions or expressing them in healthy ways. To combat emotional exhaustion, prioritize your self-care and well-being. Make sure you get enough sleep, rest, exercise, and nutrition. Find healthy outlets for your emotions, such as talking to someone you trust, journaling, or meditating. Seek professional help if you need it.

Loss of key emotional intelligence skills gives way to the raw, unfiltered emotions from a primitive amygdala. This "reptilian brain" will inevitably promote negative emotions and thoughts over more positive ones. It is important to recognize this process early before one's passion and purpose enter a vicious cycle of harm. This could involve seeking help by talking with friends, colleagues, mentors, and even mental health professionals. Vulnerability by itself is not a weakness, but failing to hit the "pause button" can be detrimental. In this case, a firm pause can help one reconnect with the basics such as rest, self-care, and healthy activities for unwinding. ~Hardeep Phull MD

3 Cognitive impairment

Burnout can also affect your cognitive abilities and mental clarity. You may have trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions. You may also make more errors, mistakes, or lapses in judgment. You may feel confused, disorganized, or distracted. To improve your cognitive function, reduce your mental load and distractions. Focus on one task at a time and delegate or outsource what you can. Use tools and strategies to organize your work and manage your time. Take breaks and switch tasks when you feel mentally fatigued.

4 Reduced performance

Another consequence of burnout is reduced performance and productivity. You may have lower quality, quantity, or efficiency of work. You may also have more conflicts, complaints, or dissatisfaction from your clients, colleagues, or supervisors. You may feel like you're falling behind, failing, or not meeting expectations. To enhance your performance, set clear and realistic expectations and boundaries for yourself and others. Communicate your needs, concerns, and limitations. Seek support and collaboration from your team, peers, or mentors. Learn from your feedback and mistakes and improve your skills and knowledge.

5 Detachment and isolation

Burnout can also make you feel detached and isolated from your work and your social environment. You may lose your sense of connection, belonging, or engagement with your organization, team, or clients. You may also withdraw from your friends, family, or hobbies. You may feel lonely, alienated, or cynical. To restore your connection and social support, reach out to your network and build positive relationships. Seek opportunities to interact, collaborate, or mentor others. Join or create communities of practice or interest. Engage in activities that bring you joy, meaning, or fulfillment.

Burnout is a serious and common issue among healthcare management professionals. It can affect your physical, mental, and emotional health, as well as your career and personal life. By recognizing the signs of burnout and taking steps to prevent or cope with it, you can protect your well-being and enhance your performance. Remember that you're not alone and that you deserve to take care of yourself.

Human interaction with friends, mentors, and even mental health professionals can help re-attach a person to their passion and purpose. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of detachment early, in ourselves and others, before they become a vicious cycle.
