What do you do if you're experiencing burnout and need help recovering?

As a working mom, I've faced burnout multiple times. Here's what has helped me: 1. Adjusting my schedule: Reassess priorities and reschedule accordingly. 2. Taking time for myself: Catching missed sleep and self-care. 3. Spending time with friends who care and whom I care 4. Being a kid by spending time with my kids.

Don't be afraid of seeking Professional Support, if that's what you need. Your mental health is your biggest asset. Investing in it is always recommended.

Boundaries can be challenging if you haven't been used to setting them. Really take inventory of what's most important to you and then create limits around that. Expect resistance: If you haven't said no before, those around you might balk a little when you do. Be firm & respectful in your 'no' and stand your ground. You don't need to provide a 'reason' or apologize. Give yourself permission to say 'no'.

First of all, shift your mindset Setting boundaries isn't selfish. It's a necessity. Once you acknowledge your right to express your needs directly, you are ready to take the next step. “The only people who get upset when you set boundaries are the ones who benefited from you having none”

In meinem tiefsten Burnout erkannte ich, dass ich für meine Werte einstehen muss, selbst wenn das bedeutet, ein klares ?Nein“ zu sagen, um meine Gesundheit zu schützen. Um sich von einem Burnout zu erholen, ist es wesentlich, klare Grenzen zwischen Arbeit und Privatleben zu setzen. Kommunizieren Sie Ihre Grenzen deutlich an Kollegen und Vorgesetzte. Es ist in Ordnung, zus?tzliche Aufgaben abzulehnen, wenn Sie bereits überlastet sind. Priorisieren Sie Ihre Aufgaben und delegieren Sie, wenn m?glich. Der Schutz Ihrer pers?nlichen Zeit ist entscheidend, um neue Energie zu tanken und einem weiteren Burnout vorzubeugen.

I have used Braindump technique in past and once I put things to paper it gets clear as to what needs to be addressed. I also believe that people who have clear morning activation and evening rest and rejuvenation schedules in place are often proactively preventing Burnout. Personally a walk in nature and a meditation routine works. I have clear switch offs around work and also deliberate checking throughout the day to pick any cues of anxiety, panic overwhelm or burnout in time!

I encourage individuals to look at self-care in terms of strategies that change your mindset. What do you do that can create a shift towards more optimism? Ideas: -> Journaling your thoughts (allow them to be on paper instead of tumbling around in your mind) -> Being in nature (grounding) -> Exercise (releases different chemicals to your brain) -> Meditation (encourages self-connection) This list is not exhaustive and what works for you will not be the same as someone else. Really investing in your self-care will make a huge difference in how you see the world.

Es ist entscheidend, meine Wohlfühlmomente zu kennen und mir diesen Raum ohne Schuldgefühle zu erlauben. Innere Konflikte versch?rfen das Gefühl des Ausbrennens. Effektive Selbstpflegerituale sind essenziell, um Burnout entgegenzuwirken. Ob durch Bewegung, Meditation, Hobbys oder ein entspannendes Bad – es ist wichtig, eine Routine zu etablieren, die solche regenerierenden Aktivit?ten umfasst. Selbstfürsorge ist ein unverzichtbarer Teil einer gesunden Work-Life-Balance und entscheidend für Ihre Genesung. Sie erm?glicht es uns, den Anforderungen des Lebens mit erneuerter Energie zu begegnen.

Es crucial tomarte un tiempo para reevaluar tus objetivos y prioridades. Detente y reconéctate con lo que realmente impulsa tus metas y aspiraciones, profundizando en un diálogo interno que te permita comprender tu proceso personal. Es importante revisar tus creencias y expectativas, ya que estas pueden estar agregando peso en lugar de ofrecerte libertad. Date permiso para explorar tus pensamientos y sentimientos de manera honesta y compasiva, reconociendo que el autocuidado es esencial en este viaje de recuperación.

Define your priorities. Before setting boundaries at work, define your values and priorities. Ask yourself whether they have shifted over time. This can cover family, projects (in and outside of work), and your personal wellbeing.

Klarheit über pers?nliche Ziele vereinfacht Entscheidungen und erm?glicht es, passende Elemente bewusst ins Leben zu integrieren. Manchmal erfordert dies auch einen beruflichen oder ?rtlichen Wechsel. Die Neubewertung Ihrer Ziele w?hrend der Burnout-Erholung schafft Klarheit und Motivation. überlegen Sie, ob Ihr aktueller Weg mit Ihren Werten übereinstimmt. Burnout kann ein Zeichen dafür sein, dass eine ?nderung der Richtung angebracht ist. Setzen Sie sich realistische Ziele, die inspirieren und Erfolgserlebnisse vermitteln, ohne Sie zu überfordern.

It's important that we keep coming back to what we value and what we are aligned with, while we are trying to achieve the goals that we've set for ourselves. No goal will ever be worth achieving if it takes you away from your core values.

Chronic stress and the inability to relax can contribute to burnout. Incorporate relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, Release Metaphor, N-Step Reframing and even Transformational Metaphor from the Cognitive Hypnotic Coaching framework into your daily routine. These practices can help calm your mind, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of inner peace, enabling you to recharge and rejuvenate.

Burnout happens when we pay for Overcommitment through our Passion. One way to get in touch with our Passion is to remember the "why"- why did you choose to do something in the first place? If the reason is something internal, something which excites you - then your work is aligned with your passion. Remembering the "why" will help you get in touch with your passion again. If the answer to the why is something external- societal expectation, parental expectation, obligations, etc - then your work is not aligned. In that case, you might want to reassess your goals.

One thing I've found that's often overlooked during burnout is trying to fit into a box you don't belong in. While overworking is the traditional reason people discuss burnout, there are often emotional reasons that underlie the overworking that also need to be addressed. In some cases, I've found that many of my clients weren't even overworking as much as they were trying to be something they didn't want to be. When we worked together to get them to reconnect with their true dreams and desires, the burnout dissipated and their energy and enthusiasm for life returned.

Burnout can happen very quickly. For example, a change in management can be the instigator to serious stress, resulting in burnout. Especially under poor management - not receptive to feedback or unyielding in their leadership - optimism can be eroded quickly.

Communicate and be consistent Boundaries at work should be communicated clearly, confidently and often. Don’t just explain what your boundaries are but also why you need them. Be honest so that your manager and colleagues understand your perspective. Finally, your boundaries will inevitably get violated at some point. When that happens, address it immediately. it’s better to reinforce your boundaries at the moment rather than wait.

Recovering from burnout is a journey, and it's essential to be patient and compassionate with yourself. Celebrate small victories and acknowledge your progress, no matter how incremental it may seem. Consider seeking professional help if you're struggling with severe burnout or mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety. A qualified therapist or coach can provide personalized guidance and support tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
