One BIG, GIANT, HUMONGOUS problem with burnout is that most people don't realize they're headed for it until it's too late. If you consider yourself a high-achiever, you're probably more susceptible to burnout than most! When people around you consistently get the impression that you can "do it all," they usually let you do it all. After enough time in this do-it-all-without-any-help cycle, most people launch themselves headfirst into burnout. Burnout might look like exhaustion, lack of motivation, resenting things you used to enjoy, and the list goes on and on.
The good news is, you can develop an awareness around signs that you're burning out. And, when you're aware, you can start to deploy strategies that prevent you from reaching full-on burnout.
I have a couple blogs up about overachievers and recognizing the signs of burnout (link in bio)! I encourage you to check those out if you relate to any of this!
