How To Confront The 8 Types Of Burnout

How can you deal with burnout?

Motivation is often the product of a special alignment.
The alignment between our values and our daily actions.

Right?

Burnout often comes from a mismatch between:
→    What we believe is important (our values)
→    What we do daily (our daily actions).

So, here’s what you can try.
Just 5 steps.

1.    First off, grab your journal.
Make a list of the things that really matter to you.
Meaning your values.

For example:
→    Transparency
→    Kindness
→    Honesty
→    Respect

2.    Now, organize your list from top to bottom.
Start with the most important and end with the “least” important.

For example:
1°   Respect
2°   Kindness
3°   Honesty
4°   Transparency

3. Alright! Now it’s time to dive into each value one by one.
For each value, ask yourself:
→    WHY is it important?
→    HOW does it contribute to my overall wellbeing?
Your goal here is to understand your values deeply.

4.    Okay! Now let’s be honest with ourselves.
For each value, ask yourself:
→    On a scale of 1 to 10, how aligned are my daily actions with this value?
Your goal here is to identify a potential “mismatch.”
For example, imagine that “respect” is your core value — like me.
And imagine your daily actions aren’t bringing respect to yourself.
Well, that’s a mismatch.

5.    Okay, now we’ve identified the gap. 
Guess what we’re gonna do now?
Bingo!

We need to build the bridge between:
→    Our values
→    And our daily actions

The bridge could be:
→    Putting self-care first
→    Changing our routines
→    Setting new boundaries
→    Having open conversations with those around us

We just need to build that bridge.
And of course, we need to be aware of its two sides — our values and our actions.
