SOFT SKILLS & TIPS 4 Steps for Cooling Off When Feel Burn Out

Getting older makes us more aware of the responsibilities that come with it, and as a result, we gain our first professional experience. We work hard every day to keep all aspects of our lives in balance, but some days are much harder than others. If constant stress has you feeling helpless, disillusioned, and completely exhausted, you may be on the road to burnout.

What is Burn Out?

Burnout describes a severe stress condition that leads to severe physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. People experiencing burnout often feel like they have nothing left to give and may dread getting out of bed each morning. We often neglect it and keep going, but little did we know, it will grow worse to be a timed bomb. How to Deal with Burn Out?

01Ask for What You Need It's critical to seek support when things get tough.

Consider creating a self-care "check-in" with close friends and family members if asking for help feels difficult. This way, when things get tough, you can all take care of each other and stay strong.

02Schedule in Time for Pleasant Activities Make time for relaxing, hobbies, and calls with friends and family. Sometimes having something non-work- related to look forward to can really help. 04

03Get Plenty of Sleep, Exercise, and Eat Well

Devise a strategy for increasing your physical activity and eating better. Sleep for at least eight hours every night. The world will seem like a small place after a few weeks or months of this.

Reevaluate your priorities

Spend some time reflecting on your hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Is there something important to you that you're overlooking? Allow yourself to slow down, reflect, and heal by rediscovering what truly makes you happy during this difficult time. (TYR)
