Are you one of the few people who love their job and can't wait to get to their office or place of business? You have either resigned yourself there is nothing you can do about your job or you really love what you do.
However, for the majority of us we absolutely dread going to work, and we only show up each day because we need to eat and have a place to live. This is how I had felt for quite a few years.
The real picture or truth that was placed in front of me one day changed how I looked at my job. The answer I stumbled upon was it was not the job, boss, co-workers, the drive, the pay none of it...it was all me..it was how I perceived my job, my boss, co-workers and surroundings. When I was shown this simple truth, my whole outlook changed. I may not still like my job or whatever but it is my decision to make that choice, and I chose to have less stress by not taking things personally and to do the best I could each day fulfilled that I had done a good days work for the pay I agreed upon.
If you really desire to reduce stress/burnout there are small, easy baby steps you can take.
One is find a supportive health coach to hold your hand and work with you on this goal.
Stress is necessary when you need to flee but not from the home to the office and back. Research ways that work for you by trying to incorporate some meditation into your daily routine 10 - 15 minutes a day can help you be focused and centered and more in control of your day, getting better supplementation, getting more rest each night, make sure you have down time for you, do something that excites you such as a hobby or hiking, canoeing, a day at the beach.
Our body and mind are very resilent but we still can become ill or get diseases from too much stress and job burnout is a real stressor indeed. Disease - means not at ease.
So do yourself a big favor and look out for your health and the fact you recognize you have an issue with job burnout/stress is your first step on your road to health.
