5 Less Obvious Signs Of Burnout

Does any of the 5 subtle signs feel relatable? There’s this feeling I get when I know something is…OFF. When I don’t want to talk to anyone or do anything other than sleep or listen to music.
All I have the capacity for is going to work, but I’m emotionally #exhausted by and disconnected from my job too.

That experience has a name: #BURNOUT

Some of these signs, were what I was experiencing recently, but I needed someone else—my #therapist—to name it for me.

Identifying the signs of burnout early is critical since they can lead to BIGGER problems down the road.
Especially when symptoms are subtle, they can add up and snowball often undetected. That’s why it’s so important that we build time into our routines to check in with ourselves and others, and stay attuned to our #wellbeing.

Consistent self-check-ins — whether through #journaling, #meditating, working with a therapist, or simply pausing weekly and asking ourselves how we’re doing and answering honestly—can help us notice subtle changes in our #mentalhealth that we might miss otherwise, allowing us to intervene earlier, rather than waiting until things go off the rails.

That intervention might look like taking a long weekend off, or saying no to social invitations so you can get some much-needed downtime.

Of course, subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of work burnout may very well mean you need to make a bigger change.

If you’re doing what you can to implement #selfcare strategies and you still find yourself regularly exhausted and/or #overwhelmed by work, it might be time to consider finding a job that’s a better fit. Or, if that’s just not possible at the moment, perhaps you can see if there’s another source of #stress you can remove from your life to prevent your metaphorical mental candle from burning out.

Remember: #YOUMATTER


Truly,
Trish
