How To Avoid Burnout With The 6 Merlin’s Sacred Elixirs

How do I avoid burnout?

Here are the 6 Elixirs Merlin gave me:
(maybe you’d like to give them a try)

1.    The Nature Elixir

Anyway, the first Elixir to avoid burnout is spending time in nature.
Or at least looking at it.

That’s why:
→    I spend about 20 minutes a day looking at nature.

How?
By looking out of the window 10 times a day for 2 minutes.
When?
During my short breaks — we’ll see it next.

2.    The Self-Care Elixir

We can’t take care of others if we don’t take care of ourselves, right?
And as you know, I love people.
But we can’t love others if we don’t take self-love seriously.

That’s why:
→    I meditate every day (just 15 minutes)
→    I eat healthy every day (7 small meals)
→    I work out every day (the gym is my second home)

3.    The Restoration Elixir
I don’t like sleeping.
Why?
Because I love living!
But sleep matters.
And also rest matters.
Sports taught me you can’t win without qualitative sleep and rest.

That’s why:
→    Every day I sleep 8 hours
→    Every 50 minutes of work I take 10 minutes of rest
→    Every day I stay 11 hours without looking at screens.
4.    The Delegation Elixir

One of the best ways to avoid burnout is to simplify our life, right?
You can’t imagine how much I believe in the power of simplicity.
And I’m a guy who prefers time over money.
“Uhm, so…?”
So, if I can pay someone to do something I don’t like, I don’t think twice about it.

That’s why:
→    Based on my resources, I delegate all the activities I don’t wanna do.
 
5.    The Boundaries Elixir
Have you already set your boundaries?
It’s really important to set them — and respect them, right?

Great! That’s why:
→    I don’t work at all hours
→    I don’t say too many “yes”
→    I don’t leave my health on the street
→    I don’t have notifications on tech devices

6.    The Connection Elixir

The deeper our relationships, the more positive emotions we can experience.
The more positive emotions we experience, the less chance to burnout.
Do you think so too?

Super! That’s why:
→    I set time for my family (in my Calendar)
→    I set time for my friends (in my Calendar)
