Yes, Your Can Avoid Burnout

Many of us, especially women, overdo and over-commit. It’s an intricate part of our DNA as women. In fact, many of us overdo it to the point of exhaustion and beyond. Some of us don’t stop until we get ill with a cold, flu, or some other unfortunately life-threatening illness. Given these pandemic, virus-ridden times, its especially important for us not to overdo it. We don’t want to catch COVID-19. Therefore, it’s important for us to stop this cycle of overwhelm and extreme fatigue, and practise self-care instead.

Each of us has a voice inside our head that is urging us not to overdo it. It is our intuitive self-reference point. Yet, we either ignore it or we’re so busy running that we don’t even hear it at all. However, being busy can keep us unconscious and unconnected from ourselves. This is because when we’re constantly distracted and running, we’re not paying attention to what is happening inside of us, nor how we feel. Many times, our body is urging us to rest, but we ignore it.

Further, many of us keep rushing. We believe that a shift or change in goals is a sign of failure. Another culture may view a change in our goals as courageous and necessary. It comes from a position of strength and being open to new possibilities. This is especially the case in Europe. And it’s not surprising that many Europeans are not as stressed out as we are. They enjoy longer lunches and social gatherings with friends and family. They take time off to enjoy life.

I believe the quality of our lives is measured by our freedom to choose to keep doing what we’re doing or change if we feel overwhelmed. That choice comes when we are more mindful and connected to our inner being. Our conscious awareness and mindfulness will help us stop overdoing it so that we can rest when we’re fatigued.

For many of us, feeling overwhelmed has become a way of life. We just can’t seem to break out of this cycle of overdoing. It has kept us stuck in our mire of busyness. This is an unfortunate feeling and reality to experience. To ease this powerless feeling, we must stop and step back.

In this e-book, I will outline sixteen ways to avoid burnout and nip it in the bud before it becomes an overwhelming problem. I hope that this e-book will help you realize that your health and well-being are more important than completing your to-do list.
