Stress & Burnout

The race is on, and life is out of balance.

If you remember to eat, you have lunch at your desk or stare at your computer.

There are always errands to run, so you try to squeeze them in between your meetings.

Long hours, people pleasing, battling imposter syndrome, always being ON, and fighting the urge to overperform out of fear of falling behind.

Nobody warned you that all this ambition would be so hard or lonely.

You did everything right: studied, worked hard, put in the time, and paid your dues. When it feels like appreciation of your efforts will happen, here comes another thing to take care of.

Unfortunately, you don’t feel valued and have little to no control over how things go, and while you’re used to achieving, things start to feel too chaotic or too much.

Comparison is a b*tch. Scrolling through social media only highlights how much everyone else is living life to the fullest while you stay stuck in place – in charge of so much.

You’re running on empty with no clear end in sight.

Work is monotonous and takes too much out of you. Procrastination runs rampant and ensures the cycle of stress lasts.

The adverse effects of burnout can spill over into every aspect of your life. Emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and unable to meet the demands of daily life, you wish things would slow down long enough to find the best way forward.

Withdrawing feels easier than giving in to the daily grind.

Burnout doesn’t suddenly happen overnight.

Burnout is a gradual process that creeps up on you.

Emotionally, you feel detached. Self-doubt permeates every aspect of your life. Although you feel unsatisfied and have no sense of accomplishment, you can’t find the motivation to shift gears.

Irritability and isolation keep others at arm’s length, and connecting with others feels more like a chore than leisure.

In your body, no matter how much sleep or time you spend in bed, it feels like you never catch up on rest.

Life shouldn’t feel like a race.
