Are you feeling burned out? Do you know what burned out feels like?

Burnout can have some really negative health effects, and it's hard to know how to avoid it or deal with it when you're experiencing it.

Conventional wisdom of using self-care is the cure for burnout and its friends insomnia, headaches, and feeling mentally and physically exhausted. Unfortunately for convential wisdom, one must go beyond self-care to completely cure burnout.

In this video, I'm going to share with you a three-step process that will help you bounce back from burnout and get your life back on track to freedom and excitement.

By the way, you're not alone in your feelings. Millions of people go through this every year. With the right tools, you can overcome it and be more successful than ever.

Burnout can sneak up on you and before you know it, you're struggling with sleeplessness, weight gain (or weight loss from lack of appetite), and a general lack of interest in the world around you.

Most advice to pull yourself out of burnout is to apply self care, and do it every day. That may work if you weren't so down in the dumps of burnout.
One has to wonder, is there another way?

There is!

Evaluation of your life, from work to home to hopes and dreams, will help determine where balance or lack thereof is showing up. After evaluation, you will be able to identify your true north, your Polaris. You will discover what truly drives you to be your best. Evaluating your life spotlights what you want and then take action to concentrate on that which is important.

And then there is balance. The concept of balance has come to be defined as spending the same amount of time in each realm of life. That is not balance, it is equilibrium. Real balance is when work and home is flexible enough to allow for movement from one sphere of life to another as needed. As life is reevaluated, flexibility is built in where unnecessary things fall away.

To pull yourself out of burnout completely, finding a way to invigorate your life is required. The best example of this was given by Allan Ting in his 2018 TED Talk to follow your smart phone's battery. When the battery is at 5%, you plug it in and in a short period of time, the battery charges to 20%. When the battery needs a full charge, plugging in the phone over night will accomplish the task, just as sleeping 7-9 hours fully recharges your battery. Sometimes you just need to go "off the grid" and travel or learn something new, just not be reachable.

Personally, I go off the grid once a week, it is so refreshing!

Taking the time to move from burnout will result in a few positive health results:
-You will be able to sleep through the night
-You will have more energy during the day
-Your headaches will go away
-You will feel mentally and physically refreshed

Bouncing back from burnout can be tough, but it is not impossible. This solution for avoiding burnout and recovering from it when you do experience it will help you get your energy back and feeling like your old self again.
