The Roots of Burnout Syndrome

Are you experiencing burnout syndrome? If so, you may discover that burnout recovery starts in an unexpected place.

If you’re not feeling your best in your day to day operations, you may be experiencing burnout syndrome.

So many people are in need of burnout recovery these days!

Exhaustion is one of the primary symptoms of burnout syndrome.

Are you exhausted?

If you answered yes, it’s a good idea to determine where you might be wasting your energy.

Here’s the thing—

Most people only think about physical exertion and using up too much physical energy when they ponder the roots of their exhaustion and burnout.

But most of us aren’t engaged in hard physical labor.

I have found that, for most executives, leaders, people in positions of authority, and entrepreneurs, the biggest energy drains can be traced back to what’s going on between their ears.

This is not physical exhaustion. It’s mental and emotional exhaustion.

What do you spend most of your time thinking about?

Are you often in a state of mental angst?

Do you let your emotions get the best of you?

Are you plagued by negative self-talk?

All of the above are forms of serious energy depletion.

When you allow your mental and emotional states to control you, you are on a fast road to job burnout.

It may feel like you’ve been doing backbreaking work all day, but what’s really happening is that your inner resources are being drained by your negative thoughts and emotions.

It takes a lot of energy to keep up with habitually negative thoughts and emotions.

These habits are big pitfalls to business growth and career satisfaction.

Imagine how much creative energy could be freed up if you were in command of your negative thought patterns and you didn’t let your emotions carry you away.

Imagine using that energy for fun projects, personal growth, or learning something new.

If you resonate with any of this, I invite you to take command of your habitually negative thoughts and emotions and reclaim your energy!
