how to avoid burnout

*Content warning: This episode discusses depression, anxiety, and eating habits.*

When you’re a solopreneur and wear all the hats, you can get too much on your plate very quickly. It accumulates fast, sneaks up on you, and suddenly you’re stretched way too thin. Your energy, motivation, and capacity quite literally burn out. 

In this episode, I talk about my recent experience with burnout, some warning signs and symptoms to look out for, and provide you with some tips that helped me return to my version of normal. You’ll hear the following:

• 03:23 – Why I ignored the signs and kept adding to my plate
• 11:56 – Why it’s important to learn to recognize your signs and symptoms of burnout
• 13:08 – My two biggest takeaways from my recent burnout

The secret to sustainable success and feeling accomplished…the perfect mix of peace and drive? It comes from living intentionally.  For me, this stems from alignment in these key areas: physical health, emotional health, spiritual health, relational health, and financial health. Alignment paired with visualization and identifying exactly WHO you want to be and HOW you will show up in life, relationships, and business leads to true fulfilling success long term. Because in The Good Life we are playing the long game!

How to Avoid Burnout// Are you feeling burned out? Are you constantly overwhelmed? Is your mental and physical health starting to suffer? In this video you will learn how to recognise the signs of burnout, combat against them and improve your health by living a balanced lifestyle. You will also find out how you can still increase your happiness and get your productivity and fulfilment on track without sacrificing your personal life. Enjoy simple tactics to design your life and how many successful people have stopped feeling overwhelmed by life and achieved balance.

KEY POINTS

Focus on What You Can Control – Don’t stress and feel anxious about what is outside of your control. Focus on what you can do.

Disconnect – Take a break. Remove yourself physically and electronically from your work. Don’t spend all of your time in your office.

Prioritize Your Sleep – Make sure you’re getting at least eight hours of sleep. Turn off electronics one hours before bedtime, as this will increase your melatonin and help you sleep better.

Exercise- Spike your energy at the beginning of the day with some exercise. This will also spike your mood. Exercise is proven to create a 12-hour mood boost, equivalent to taking antidepressants.

Nutrition – Eat well. Choose the foods you know will be healthy for your mind and body. This will help you feel healthier and stronger.

Clear Your Mind – Could you benefit from re-engaging in a spiritual practice that you have, or a religious practice, or simply meditation to calm the mind and give you clarity.

Ask for Help – Let people know you are feeling down and express that need for help.

Steer Clear of Bad Habits– Alcohol, medications, drugs can make burnout worse. Steer clear of anything that can add fuel to the fire.

Be Social – Put yourself in social situations. We are social beings; we are meant to celebrate and enjoy life with other people. 

Make Time for Yourself Everyday – What is the number one thing you enjoy? Make time for it, schedule it into your day.
