Here's how you can help individuals prevent burnout by supporting them in setting realistic goals.
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place. Career counseling can play a pivotal role in mitigating burnout by helping you set realistic goals, a critical step in maintaining work-life balance and ensuring long-term job satisfaction. By understanding your limits and learning to set achievable objectives, you can prevent the relentless push that often leads to burnout.
