Are you tired and worn-down? 

     

Be careful, you may be on the road to burn-out. It is so much easier to prevent burn-out in its earlier stages, then to treat it when it has run its ful course. The sooner you start preventing it, the better:

  • stop and realize that the human body has its limits. The longer you use more resources and energy than you actually have, the longer it will take to get fully recovered – at worst several years
  • listen to your body – take the signs seriously
  • achieve a more suitable balance between rest, recreation and career

Does it feel like you have no energy left?

     

Is everything a strain? Things that were once fun, hold no joy anymore? You can’t perform like you used to? Are you constantly tense? If you answer yes on most of these questions, you are probably suffering from burn-out. Do the following:
  • go to the doctor. Use some of your sick leave!
  • get enough sleep and rest
  • eat healthy including a variety of foods
  • adjust your activities to your health and energy level, and start new routines that better balance work, rest and play
  • if necessary, get treatment like physiotherapy/massage and acupuncture

 

 
If you are burned out, do one thing at a time:
 

  1. focus first on how to stop wearing yourself out by the over-consumption of energy. Make the changes that are absolutely necessary first; for example take sick leave when you feel you are becoming burned out
  2. after you have given yourself some time, consider other adjustments, changes and actions that should occur
  3. when you are better and have more energy, you can gradually become more active again
  4. when you can participate normally on social and other activities, you can start working again
After burn-out

   

If you have suffered from burn-out, this shows that you have lived your life completely unbalanced. You have lots to learn to avoid burn-out again.
