There comes a time when you feel emotionally and psychologically drained. It is at this point that you feel tired, you get irritated by the smallest things, and working is never the same. If you are experiencing some or all the above issues, you may be burnt out at work. This usually occurs if you have been overworking or you are in a job that you don’t get maximum satisfaction. Burnouts can be depressing, and they can cause you to derail on your work and your career. Don’t be worried as this can be avoided, and if you happen to experience it, you can resolve it. Here is a way to go about it;

Be kind to yourself

We all make mistakes, and if you happen to make one, be kind on yourself. Stop punishing yourself with the mistakes you have committed. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is what happens afterward that matters. The best thing you can do from mistakes is to learn from them. Let it be a lesson in your quest for excellence. 

Change your mindset

Mindset is everything in your career and life in general. If you have a negative mindset, it will have a negative environment on everything around you. A positive attitude will go along way in ensuring that you get the right working mindset, which is vital in fighting burnouts. We are what we think, so use that to your advantage.

Manage your energy

Don’t waste your energy fighting the small things. Your energy should be purely conserved for the significant events in your work life. Some things are not worthy of your attention, and it is better to leave them. If you happen to use all your energy on the small issues, you won’t have the energy needed to tackle the significant problems. 

It is vital that you do a lifestyle audit and weed out all the unnecessary activities. If something does not have a massive impact in your life or it does not propel your career forward, cut it off. Focus your energy on the things that add value to your life.
