How do you prevent burnout?
Burnout is closely related not only to individual qualities but also to environmental factors.
One-sided communication just by listening to orders from overwork and superiors, and tasks that are not suitable for individual qualities can be called environmental problems as it increases the risk of various stress diseases as well as burnout.
As an effort to prevent burnout, it is important to find ways to improve by focusing on environmental factors.
If you’re at work
- Whether the individual’s workload and mental burden are overburdened
- Is it possible to perform duties suitable for individual qualities
- Is there an interactive communication
It can always be said that it is valid as a precaution against multiple outs that can be reviewed and improved.
But when it burned down
So what do you do to recover your energy when you’re actually exhausted?
First of all, it’s important to “caution” the problems you’re facing.
A person who is prone to burnout tends to believe that he or she should be perfect. It makes it difficult to recognize the problem that it has. In order to accurately understand your condition, it is often valid to get advice from close people, such as your family, friends, or your boss.
And it is necessary to get away from the factors that cause stress and to ask your value over time. For example, if work is a factor in a burn-out, taking a leave of absence or changing jobs is the best means of recovery.
Think of it as an endless starting point
According to one survey, only one out of 20 people who recovered from a leave of absence returned to the same job. The other 19 have chosen to cut their careers so far and rediscover their values in new environments.
Changing your lifestyle requires courage, but it may be important not to repeat steps or burn outs toward a new environment without fear.
In that sense, burnout is not a destination where there is no place to go, but a new job starting point.
It’s not a perfect 100. I like it
In general, people who work hard or have consideration become “excellent” and are respected by people.
But there is no one in the world who is always perfect. And no one can tell you how good you are, you can’t always get 45 out of 100, and if you get 80, you get 45.
There will also be moments in your daily life when you feel ‘happiness’ rather than a perfect score of 100. Even if your daily routine ends at 30 points, your time of meeting your family or friends or hobbies will fill your mind.
Allowing imperfections and relaxing your shoulders without being tied to the only “ideal” you want is an important mindset to prevent disconnection.
