Emotional and physical burnout
Emotional and physical burnout can affect everyone and you may not see it coming. It’s not always easy to recognize emotional and physical burnout before it’s too late. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- Are you working more and enjoying it less?
- Are you postponing vacations and spending less time with your family?
- Are you no longer interested in the hobbies and pastimes you used to enjoy?
- Do you feel unappreciated on the job?
- Are you setting unrealistic goals for yourself?
- Do you feel others are imposing unrealistic goals upon you?
- Has it been a long time since you laughed heartily?
- Are you experiencing headaches, stomachaches, or backaches?
- Are you having trouble sleeping?
- Are you distracted – forgetting appointments, misplacing possessions, missing deadlines?
- Do you find yourself frequently feeling irritable or wanting to strike out verbally or physically at others?
Answer these questions honestly. They are the voices of emotional and physical burnout calling for victims. If a few of these symptoms ring true for you, you might be in the throes of emotional and physical burnout. Emotional and physical burnout leaves us with a feeling of despondency and fatigue which affects our motivation.
In my book, Your Business and Your Life, I go through the process of burnout in an effort to help you recognize burnout before it takes hold and manifests itself. This book is your prevention guide for burnout, you will benefit from years of in-the-field experience and learn all the things you were never taught in school. Understanding and following the formulas in this book can help any business professional “pull out” before or recover after a physical and emotional burnout experience.
