Basically burnout is a state of physical, mental and
emotional exhaustion caused by prolonged and excessive stress. However, stress may be a causative factor, but
it is burnout that is the end result.
It occurs when you feel overwhelmed and unable to meet the constant borage of
demands. You begin to feel deflated, spent, exhausted and to lose all interest
and motivation both personally and professionally.
You
may be on the road to burnout if:
- Everyday becomes
a bad day
- Your exhausted
all the time
- Caring about
your home and work life seems useless
- You feel like
nothing you do is appreciated. Lacking rewards.
- You begin to
spend the majority of your day doing mind numbing task. Avoidance.
- Your feel
frustrated, disappointed, like a failure and rejected.
Burnout is about feeling that there is
never enough. Everything is out of control and there is nothing that can be
done about it, but to crash and burn. In burnout people do not see any hope of
changing things to make things better. Stress is like drowning in excess where
burnout is like being all dried up with nothing left to give.
