Burn Out! It sucks, but it happens to all of us at some time. I admit, burn out doesn't happen to me that often, but I am finding just lately, that I have bitten off a bit more than I can chew!
So what do you do when you find yourself suffering from burn out? or that you're stressed out and you feel like you just can't do it anymore?
Well, these handy hints have helped me through the bad times, in particular the bad time Im facing right now! Read on to find some ways to deal with burn out.
Well, I think you have to get away from your work. Its usually work that is the instigator in burn out! Heaps of people try to work through it, but that doesn't work for me - it just makes the problem worse. When my mind wants to go on strike, I have no choice but to give it a rest.
I used to be an entertainer! One thing I really enjoy is singing. I don't know what your interests are, but there's got to be something you do for relaxation. So - Just do it! Get away from your work and pretend like work doesn't exist for a while! (lucky I have my own decked out music room!)
Secondly, after you have had a bit of a relax and you start stressing because you should get back to work, just sit down and write up a list. Make it really basic and simple to start. If you are suffering burn out because you've been too hard at work, make a list that will be easy to achieve.
I might make my list so easy that it only has 2 or 3 things on it, and I make sure I don't do anything else. This is good for two reasons. The first good thing is that at least I've accomplished something during my day and the second is that I dont put any pressure on myself, because although 2-3 things is about 1/20 of what I would normally do, doing something is definately better than nothing!
Soon, as you start getting back into the swing of things, you can increase your regular work load back to a sensible amount to avoid future burn out! If you find that doing more increases your level of stress and possible future burnout, then don't go there! Don't go beyond your limit again.
You need to learn to recognize your trigger switch! Learn to cut yourself off. This can be so terribly hard for me, but sometimes I just have to stop! It can be extra hard when you're first building your new business, or your business is already successful and you want to keep it going that way - but getting to where you are is how you got to feeling how you do - burnt out!
Don't get me wrong, it's a tough act to perform! But with time and experience, you'll get good at it. I hope I get better at it too!
You see, Im a bit of a workaholic! and....I've been very stressed out lately, feeling major personal burn out while I deal with some big issues. I was having a really hard time relaxing - so I started a new project! I have found this to be a great idea and instead of feeling burn out, I now feel re-invigorated! My major stress lately promoted me to develop another website! So........I am dealing with my burn out by working on a self help and personal development site and putting a stress relief ecourse together! Thats pretty logical - dont you think?
Whatever you do - do something about how you feel, or it will only get worse! I hope these tips on dealing with burn out help you too!
