Burnout is a dangerous condition that can affect you both physically and mentally. If you've recently discovered you are suffering from burnout, you may be wondering just how you can overcome it. Unfortunately, overcoming burnout isn't easy, but there are several things you can do to help yourself bounce back.

This and last week, I did 2 back-to-back topics on Burnout. I'll be doing more in the future as this is a big one for me and understanding how our bodies work together with our mind and heart.

The first time I experienced burnout, I was young and in college. While I did bounce back within a few months, it was rough. I had to take a semester off and really focus on my health. I was actually very focused on my health prior, though! I was on the Triathlon team, eating very well, and doing things I thought were helpful.

A lot of times, we can be doing "all the right things", but still be over doing it.

The second time I experienced extreme burnout/fatigue, it led to several other health battles. It took years to overcome. It was multi-faceted with many layers to it.

And that is why I have a passion to see people build resilience, not just avoid stress or remove it, but to actually build an internal mind, heart, and body that has the capacity to bounce back well.

In these episodes, we'll look at:

How do you know if you're headed towards burnout?

And then what happens if you find yourself in that "bottom of the barrel" place? What do you do?

Burnout is often a personal journey that affects more than just the physical body. And I talk about that within these episodes.

While these aren't comprehensive, they are some helpful starting tips.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are really in the midst of burnout, it's worth reaching out to practicioners who can help assess where the deeper roots are. There IS a way through to the other side. And it's much quicker with the right help.
