Burnout

I don’t think that you want to set big goals, fight hard for them then find yourself suffering from serious health issues that prevents you from continuing your journey. The human body is the ultimate machine but it has limits, the more extra load you put on your body the more you are subject to burnouts.

Success without health is nothing, who wants to be successful while not being able to eat what he likes or to do what he wants?

what causes burnouts?

Try to work for 8 hours on something that you like without subjecting yourself to stress and compare it to only one hour of working under stress. Surely you will find that the one hour of stress made you feel much more tired. Stress is the most dangerous known emotion in the world; it can even kill you if it lasted for prolonged periods of time.

Stress is not the only thing that can cause a burnout but all other unwanted emotions that you experience while doing a job will make the job much more tiresome. If you are a hard worker or if you are a Type A personality you may need to work overtime or even on holidays, this may not be dangerous if the work conditions were comfortable but the real risk comes from subjecting yourself to unhealthy emotions for prolonged periods.

Few tips that can help you feel less tired

Here are few tips that are simple but very effective in helping you preventing burnouts:

• As soon as you feel that you are stressed, overwhelmed or tired take a small break. Don’t keep telling yourself, “ok ill just finish this tiny bit then take a rest” because there are always more of the unfinished tiny bits
• listen to light music or music that has slow rhythm
• vigorous exercise can flush all negative emotions
• 10 minutes of deep relaxation under hypnosis is equivalent to one hour of normal rest
• if you are using a computer take a 10 minutes break every one hour
• don’t think about unfinished tasks in rest time!!!
• don’t keep thinking of work while in bed
• learn how to control your emotions
• if you easily become stressed forget about using a slow computer, it will drive you mad
