Burnout is not exclusively caused by working long hours.

Find the Source\u00a0<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s difficult to overcome burnout if you don\u2019t know the root cause. What\u2019s triggering your anguish? What one thing stresses you out, eats up your time, and leaves you feeling exhausted?\u00a0 Burnout often relates to professional triggers. But <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/mental-health\/burnout-recovery#control\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to therapist Crystal Raypole<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, other common everyday triggers include:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having an intense academic schedule.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experiencing relationship issues, that seem to go in circles and have no real solutions.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caring for a loved one with a serious medical issue.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><div>\u00a0<\/div><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout can also be caused by a compound of multiple triggers. Imagine you\u2019re a single parent, trying to do night school, while working in the day. Each one might be manageable on its own, but the combination of stress without a break will inevitably overwhelm you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trying to do too many things causes burnout. In the words of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barriesueskindtherapy.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barrie Sueskind<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEventually you bend so much you break, and that\u2019s when burnout happens\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To properly deal with this, identify the tasks that are grinding you down. Often, we don\u2019t deem these tasks worthwhile or meaningful \u2013 they are an unnecessary and pointless trigger of stress. Knowing that, we can avoid them on our road to recovery.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>2. Re-Evaluate Your Priorities<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout is a sign that we haven\u2019t got our work\/life balance right. Rather than dedicating time to something enjoyable and worthwhile, we\u2019re over committing ourselves to stressful and pointless tasks. If this is something you\u2019re experiencing,\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpguide.org\/articles\/stress\/burnout-prevention-and-recovery.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you need to re-evaluate your priorities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of letting them consume you, manage your burnout triggers where you can. Of course, avoiding them altogether might not be possible; some of us must work a stressful job to pay the bills. But you can set boundaries and limit the amount of time you spend on these tasks \u2013 remind yourself that saying <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to requests to work on yourself is perfectly acceptable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use that spare time to nourish your creative side. One reason burnout occurs is because we\u2019re spending so much time on tasks we don\u2019t deem worthwhile. In combating it, take some time out to assess your hopes, values, and dreams. Ask yourself: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cam I neglecting something that\u2019s important to me?\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can combat burnout by creating a sense of purpose, making a positive impact to others\u2019 lives, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/gb\/basics\/burnout\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">creating meaningful change<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/blog\/4-ways-to-switch-off-and-relax-when-you-are-too-busy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Alan Kohll<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, insufficient breaks is a leading cause of chronic stress and burnout. So, on top of nourishing your creative side, be sure to set some time aside to relax to let your mind and body recover.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Use FocusMe\u00a0<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got a lot going on at work, it can be difficult to fully switch off when you get home.

Instead, you need to stay committed to taking care of yourself emotionally and physically. Even if you\u2019re raring to get back to work, resist the temptation to overdo things. Aim to create healthier long-term workplace habits that involve regular breaks. Take up a new hobby that you enjoy, spend more time with friends, or just set time aside to watch a new Netflix series.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, it is worth creating a support network of people who can help you through the process \u2013 as they will be able to hold you accountable and point out when you\u2019re causing self-inflicted burnout. Better still, you can use this network to relieve some of your daily stress by talking through problems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, to create a sustainable work-life balance free from burnout, you must be willing to dedicate time each week to restoring your mind and body.
