8 Wellbeing Tips to Prevent Burnout

How to prevent burnout?
Here’s an interesting tool you may wanna try.
Let’s see how it works.

1.    First off, choose a day and time that suits you best.
For example:
→    Sunday evening at 5:00 pm

2.    Starting this Sunday, take a moment to think about the past week.
Just five minutes to reflect.
Ask yourself:
→    How did the week go?
→    How were the highs and lows?
→    How did I feel physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially?

3.    Now the interesting part.
Rate your satisfaction level from 1 to 5 in the following 8 areas.
Meaning how much effort you’ve put in during the week:
1.  Take regular breaks
2.  Keep a healthy diet
3.  Exercise and stay in nature
4.  Rediscover your hobbies
5.  Manage your time and energy levels
6.  Connect with positive people
7.  Set healthy boundaries
8.  Sleep, sleep, sleep

You just need to give a score from 1 to 5 to each area.
For example:
1.  Take regular breaks (score: 4)
2.  Keep a healthy diet (score: 3)
3.  …
4. Alright! Now that you’ve given a score, do this:
→    Compare your score with the last weeks’ scores
Of course, you can only do this from week 2, when you’ll have more data.
What’s the goal?
Simple: looking at your progress or setbacks in those areas
You just need to observe them and be aware of what happened this week.
And compare it with the previous weeks.

5.    Now, based on that, set a small goal for the next week.
Pay attention: one – single – goal.
Not more than one.
One goal in one specific area.
For example, imagine in the last weeks your “sleep, sleep, sleep” area went bad.
Your goal for the next week is gonna be:
→    Creating and sticking to a new bedtime routine
And so on, from week to week.

This is how you can:
→    Check your weekly level of self-care
→    Reduce the possibility of burnout.
