Are you suffering from "Burnout"?
You could be and not even be aware that you have the problem. Ask yourself these questions:
· Are you more cynical, critical and sarcastic at work?
· Have you lost your ability to experience joy?
· Do you have to drag yourself to work and have trouble getting started once you arrive.
· Have you become more irritable and less patient with co-workers, customers or clients?
If you answered yes to these questions, you are probably suffering from "burnout". So what can you do about it?
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Start your day with some high energy music. That might not sound like it will help, but it does.
Research has shown that people who use high energy music to start their day and before they face challenging situations have increased productivity by as much as 200%!
2. The past is over... drop it. If you can’t get over something that went wrong in your life, remember this quote: "Do not blame yourself for past errors."
You are no longer the same person who made them and you cannot blame a person who does not exist.
3. Put a humour board in your office. Laughter helps ease stress and bring mountains back down to mole hills where they belong.
Learn to see humour in difficult situations. A good, hearty laugh is the best stress releaser of all.
4. Take a break of just slow down: Take inventory of your business, personal life, accomplishments and goals.
5. Include 10 to 15 minutes of meditation each day. It doesn't need to be any more than that to have a profound effect on how you feel within a short space of time.
Take the time to reflect and think. This revitalizes the mind and refreshes the spirit.
