Early Signs of Burnout That May Surprise You
Text your thoughts and questions!
We often think of burnout as something obvious and big–where we cross a line and that’s it! We’re down for the count. But burnout is more nuanced than that and the early and more subtle signs can zip by us undetected, leading us to hit rock bottom and ask ourselves, “How did I get here?” This week, episode 206 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about the early signs of burnout that may surprise you!
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I share how burnout is not something that only happens once, especially when constantly left untreated, and I offer actionable steps to take right now to spot it quicker so that you can come back from it fully and create a life that doesn’t welcome it.
I cover the following topics:
- Defining burnout (physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion) and its cause (prolonged stress).
- 6 early signs of burnout you’ll want to watch for.
- Examples of practices you can start today to check in with yourself regularly and detect burnout early on.
Consistent self-reflection is essential to spot differences in your behavior and pinpoint why these differences are happening. When you spot them early, you can adjust quickly, getting ahead of the burnout andboosting your overall well-being.
