When everything is changing and nothing is certain, the cost of caring may feel as if it is too high.<\/p>\n<p>We are all dancing as fast as we can. And we are doing it in office buildings, away from nature, from social and spiritual supports, and from ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>The result can be physical exhaustion, mental fog, and a hollowing of the soul. Dr. Herbert Freudenberger wrote that burnout is when \u201c\u2026inner resources are consumed as if by fire, leaving a great emptiness inside.\u201d If you are experiencing burnout fatigue, no doubt you can relate to this analogy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do You Recognize These Symptoms?<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Burnout symptoms can look like any combination of the following:<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1209\" src=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image1-300x207-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"276\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Getting sick more often<\/li>\n<li>Loss of focus and concentration<\/li>\n<li>Forgetfulness<\/li>\n<li>Irritability<\/li>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n<li>Chronic fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Depression and\/or anxiety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<h2>\u201cHow Did\u00a0 I Get Here?\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Burnout does not happen overnight. It creeps in slowly. Sometimes we don\u2019t know it is even happening.<\/p>\n<p>If you are experiencing burnout, you may be judging yourself or wondering how you got into this situation. There is no question that this level of vulnerability is scary. You may be afraid you will lose your job, your marriage or your life as you know it.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>You Can Turn Things Around\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Instead of focusing on how you got here, choose to focus on the skills of resilience. Put your precious energy reserves where they will count the most. The central goal is to create a culture of sustainable creativity inside yourself.\u00bf<\/p>\n<p>Even in this current state of exhaustion, you are your best ally in making the necessary changes. The choices you make about how you choose to see your situation, what steps you take to recover, and your openness to creative solutions will serve you now and in the long run. No one else can do it for you. With one small step at a time, you can recover your resilience, strength and energy.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>What Is Resilience?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Simply put,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2015\/01\/what-resilience-means-and-why-it-matters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-event=\"click\" data-track-action=\"link_clicked\">resilience<\/a>\u00a0is the ability to recover from setbacks, adapt to changing circumstances and continue to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>So, why do some people seem to survive (and thrive) while others struggle more? What are the secrets to recovering, adapting and persevering?<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>It\u2019s Not the Circumstances That Matter<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>I have known holocaust survivors as well as people who seemed to have never suffered extreme violence or deprivation. In these cases, individual circumstances did not determine how resilient they were. Some buckled under the weight of their own pain while others forged ahead with passionate focus on something larger than the events they were experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, circumstances are not the key determinant of resilience.<\/p>\n<p>In her book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2002\/05\/how-resilience-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-event=\"click\" data-track-action=\"link_clicked\">How Resilience Works<\/a>,\u201d Diane Coutu identified that resilience depends on our ability to steadfastly accept reality, hold onto our faith that life has meaning, and be innovative in how we respond to stress.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>Mindset Matters\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Dr. Carol Dweck\u2019s groundbreaking research reinforces this idea. Her work showed that success comes when a growth mindset meets adversity. When we believe we are capable of learning and growing, we are more likely to find adaptive solutions.

Acknowledge it. You do not have to like it to accept it. You may be feeling angry and dejected and still accept the situation and all your feelings that go with it. In a way, this is a form of letting go.<\/p>\n<p><em>Accept the reality\u00a0of your limits and needs<\/em> \u2013 realistically. Honour them as valuable cues and be prepared to act on them: take a nap, reduce your work hours, delegate, delegate, delegate.

E.g., say \u201cNo\u201d to anyone and anything that drains you. \u201cNo\u201d is not selfish. It is appropriate self-care.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3><em>See the Meaning\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><em>Life is meaningful <\/em>even when bad things happen. A good life is not an easy one, but one in which we develop through adversity.<\/p>\n<p><em>Surround yourself<\/em>\u00a0with people who understand and love you. Difficult times require lots of loving kindness and support.<\/p>\n<p><em>What is meaningful to you?\u00a0<\/em>Deliberately look for it and bring more of it into your life. Keep a gratitude journal.
