🔥 The 5 Stages of Burnout – Where Are You? 🔥
Burnout doesn’t happen overnight — it builds over time. Recognizing the stages early can help you take action before it impacts your health.
1️⃣ Honeymoon Phase – High energy, high productivity, saying “yes” to everything.
2️⃣ Onset of Stress – Starting to feel tired, irritable, or overwhelmed.
3️⃣ Chronic Stress – Trouble sleeping, decreased motivation, work feels heavier.
4️⃣ Burnout – Exhaustion, detachment, reduced performance, mental fog.
5️⃣ Habitual Burnout – Persistent mental, emotional, and physical fatigue that becomes your “normal.”
💡 Why it matters: Burnout affects more than just your job — it impacts your mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life.
🌿 What you can do: Prioritize rest, set boundaries, seek support, and focus on activities that replenish your energy.
✨ You don’t have to wait until burnout hits stage 5 — small changes now can protect your mental health later.
