We don’t just wake up one day in burnout.

Burnout is a chapter in a greater story.

It often begins with living beyond our capacity.

📌There’s often a chapter where we ignore our early warning signs, even though we can feel them.

📌Then there’s the part where we convince. ourselves to knuckle down, buck up and work even harder, telling ourselves that things would fall apart if we take our foot off the pedal. We make output more important than our own health… usually in this chapter, our relationships begin to suffer… and we may not be behaving in ways that reflect who we truly are.

📌Next there’s the coping, surviving and numbing phase where we use all kinds of ways to equalise or dissociate (the could look like anything from over exercing, to drinking or substance abuse, to usuing people as human soothers).

📌The phase that comes after is often where there is the onset of physical and mental health symptoms that demand we slow down and begin to start setting some boundaries around our wellbeing. This phase often feels very distressing, scary and may cause some huge kind of reality check.

➡️Most of us wait til this stage before we start taking burnout seriously. We do this, because our cultural value system rewards us for stretching ourselves beyond our limits. Some of us also do it, purely from a place of survival… to put food on the table or send our kids to school.

👉Healing happens when we start taking burnout seriously, individually and systemically.

👉From a personal perspective, we can learn to tune in and respond to our early warning signs. This is about energy mastery.

👉From a systemic perspective, we can look at the ways we build systems that demand overdrive and will ultimately cause burnout epidemic.

When it comes to burnout recovery and prevention, we have so much work to do.
