BURNOUT is not just WORK related

𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐓

Burnout, although usually spoken about as work related, is not completely spawning from work (for many, including me and many women I work with)

It can have its roots from many other areas of life.

The stressor in one area of life (example work) may be only be triggering the internal burnout prone patterns within us.

I remember when I had started exhibiting symptoms of burnout...

It started as Soul Burnout symptoms with severe chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety and incompleteness but it quickly started leaking into others of life. My trigger was a trauma, but it can be "ANYTHING".

I realized work-life, family life, & inner life are not separate entities. They all are ONE. The sooner we integrate them, the more life becomes with ease.

With the shifts and methodologies I learned and implemented.. like:

#𝟏 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 - Mindfulness practices to look at my internal experiences without judging them, neither ignoring them, nor expressing them, but a technique to embrace them and release - 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐌𝐔𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

#𝟐 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 to go within to understand my internal patterns of perfectionism, imposter syndrome, fear driven mentality and people pleasing

#𝟑 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 (beyond mental concepts and mindset) to release internal fears and conditioning that I did not even know I was holding on to, but were contributing to my burnout life

#𝟰 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼 𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 to kindle what I truly wanted to do in my life and more importantly who I want to "𝗕𝗘" in life

#𝟓 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐎𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 and expressing it in all areas of my life - I simply call it the marriage of "𝗕𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗚" and "𝗗𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚"

I was able to embrace my burnout, and used my burnout symptoms as a navigating mechanism to know when I am off track versus on track with my aligned and authentic life

Needless to say, burnout became a catalyst to my life, to my expansion as a human being, as a technical corporate leader, as a mom, as a wife, as an entrepreneur, as a pageant winner, as a singer, as a speaker..

I learned to develop a new relationship with my burnout.

Do you relate with this at a deeper level?
