SIGNS YOU'RE BURNT OUT AT WORK ❤


YOU’VE EITHER CLICKED ON THIS ARTICLE BECAUSE WE’VE HIT A SORE SPOT & YOU’RE MENTALLY SAYING “THIS. IS. ME” … OR FOR THE LUCKY ONES - YOU’RE CALM AS A CUCUMBER & JUST TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO PASS THE TIME BETWEEN MAFS AD BREAKS. WHATEVER YOU’RE SITUATION IS, IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE IN TUNE WITH YOURSELF & KNOW THE SIGNS OF WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WITH JOB BURNOUT BEING EXTREMELY COMMON, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN UNDER THE AGE OF 30

HERE ARE THE COMMON ‘FEELS’ OF JOB BURN OUT & WHEN IT’S YOU & WHEN IT’S THEM …

BEING CAUGHT UP IN WORK EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT WORK

FIND YOURSELF STRESSING OR THINKING ABOUT YOUR JOB EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT WORK? YOU’RE NOT ALONE. MULLING OVER WORK AT SUNDAY BRUNCH WILL NOT ONLY DO NOTHING FOR THE ISSUE AT HAND BUT WILL ALSO DRAIN YOUR CAPABILITIES TO REACH MAXIMUM POTENTIAL DURING WORK HOURS. IN ORDER TO RECOVER, YOU NEED TO ACTIVELY SWITCH OFF & ALLOW YOUR BODY & BRAIN HIT REFRESH

LACK OF MOTIVATION

ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU NOT WANT TO GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING DUE TO STRESS OR ANXIETY USUALLY COMES WITH LACK MOTIVATION. TRY RE-INSPIRING YOURSELF WITH PODCASTS & ARTICLES THAT’LL NOT ONLY GIVE YOU PERSPECTIVE BUT A NEW FOUND SPRING IN YOUR STEP WHEN GOING TO WORK

THAT FEELING OF ANXIETY WHEN YOU CHECK YOUR PHONE

IN THIS DAY & AGE COMMUNICATION HAS NO BOUNDARIES. DEPENDING ON THE WORKPLACE PROCEDURES PUT IN PLACE, IT’S NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE YOUR BOSS & WORK COLLEAGUES ON SEVERAL PLATFORMS OR CHATS. LIKE ANY RELATIONSHIP IT’S ALL ABOUT BALANCE. IF YOUR BOSS MESSAGES YOU OUT OF HOURS ON THE ODD OCCASION, THAT’S OKAY. HOWEVER, IF YOU FIND YOUR BOSS CALLING & TEXTING YOU EVERY EVENING OR WEEKEND WITH THE EXPECTATION FOR YOU TO BE ‘ON’ 24/7, THIS IS NOT OKAY. IF THIS IS THE CASE - SIT DOWN & HAVE A CHAT WITH YOUR BOSS ON WHAT THE EXPECTATION & BOUNDARIES ARE WITHIN THE COMPANY.

BAD JOB PERFORMANCE

FEEL LIKE YOU’RE WORKING HARDER THAN EVER BUT NOT SEEING THE RESULTS? THE STRESSES THAT COME WITH WORKING HARDER NOT SMARTER WILL SOON TAKE A TOLL ON YOUR JOB PERFORMANCE OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. HOW TO HIT REFRESH? TAKE THE TIME OUT TO PLAN, DELEGATE & ASSESS WHAT ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE & WHAT CAN BE RE-EVALUATED.

A RISE IN PROBLEMS WITHIN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE

WITH BAD WORK LIFE BALANCE, COMES POOR RELATIONSHIPS AT HOME. FIND YOURSELF ANSWERING EMAILS OVER DINNER? OR PERHAPS WHEN RELAXING AT HOME - YOU’RE PHYSICALLY THERE BUT MENTALLY YOU’RE AT WORK? SOONER OR LATER THOSE CLOSE TO YOU WILL NOTICE THE DISTANCE & BEGIN TO FEEL FRUSTRATED. THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE THIS IS BY DELEGATING A SMALL POCKET OF TIME TO STRATEGIZE YOUR WORK ISSUES THEN CLOSE THE LID & SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY

AS ALWAYS UNTIL NEXT TIME

XOXO 🖤
