Hidden Factors that Cause Burnout: Are You Contributing?
Description
Today, we're diving into the ever-relevant topic of burnout, which has become a pervasive issue for many people. I want to unpack how personal traits such as perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and unrealistic self-expectations, can inadvertently contribute to our own risk of burnout.
Of course there are external pressures from our workplaces; but it’s important to look at how we interact with those pressures and the stories we're tell ourselves that are contributing to our chronic stress.
We’ll discuss the signs of burnout, the different forms it can take, and how it can manifest not just in our jobs, but in roles like parenting and caregiving. Tune in to reflect on your own unhelpful patterns, and to consider how you might take proactive steps to help you manage stress better and nurture your well-being.
Takeaways:
- Burnout is a consequence of unresolved stress, resulting in feelings of exhaustion and detachment.
- It's crucial to recognise the personal traits that may contribute to chronic stress and burnout.
- Perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome and undiagnosed neurodivergence can significantly increase your risk of burnout.
- Understanding your own limits and setting realistic expectations can help prevent the downward spiral into burnout.
