Yes, I have a natural tendency to sleep for long hours, and when I wake up I'll feel better physically and mentally. Afterward to get back on track I need to spent quality spiritual time with the creator of the worlds to thank Him for all His blessings for me and other mankind.Thanks Brian Tracy,I watched your speeches via U tube and automatically considered you as my virtual mentor.
Brian, I watch many of your videos and they've provided fantastic value to my life. But this is the first time I discovered you were human. It was great to hear even you have limits and had to rest. Gives us aspiring minds hope!
Brian Tracy I enjoyed this . I was wondering why I was demotivated (or so I thought ) I now know I have hit burn out . Oddly enough I have written a programme on energy balance , but got too tired to finish it ! #practicewhatwepreach :)
I don't know if I made the smartest choice, but I started freelance writing in the middle of a high - risk pregnancy. I needed something to keep my mind busy so I wouldn't get depressed. I now have two kids, younger is 10 months old, I am a stay-at-home working mom of 2 and burnt out to the point where I basically stopped feeling. I literally don't feel anything, and I snap at the small frustrations. Should I: A. Pause my work and take a couple of days to myself? B. Try to reorganize tasks so I can get the minimum work done. C. Something else I didn't think of. The problem is I started out strong, making nice profits, needing very little help, so no one really believes me when I say I'm falling apart. I also have financial obligations and people depending on my income. Needless to say, I might be suffering from high functioning anxiety. Thanks to anyone reading this, and I will appreciate any response, even if it's tough to hear.
Im burnt out because of over caring how i do every little thing and being a perfectionist,always overthinking every situation until i reached a point where my mind and body are completely fatigued,now im here selfmotivating watching videos and reading trying to recuperate.
@Elena- It's due to your childhood. You may want to research (CEN) Childhood Emotional Neglect. Learning about this dynamic and working through the pain solved it for me. Hope all goes well! 🙏
@@southernbawselady7092 woah. M My therapist and I have been talking about why I'm emotionally unaware which is why I'm burnt out right now. She said it was linked to my childhood but didn't term it. Will look into this, thanks for sharing.
I got burned at my old job. It felt like my mental and physical was going into a bad place it has never gone. I took an early one week vacation. Went back to work that Monday and quit that Tuesday. That action rejuvenated me. Became self-employed. Very happy and at peace now.
This is so relatable. My job is killing my soul it’s getting extremely bad. I have a one week vacation next week and I honestly might end up quitting and not coming back I want to be self employed
this is how I feel right now. I take 8 days vacation next week and visit the place that I want to live one day. I am trying to figure out what I need to do with my job. I want to quit and start doing the work that I really want to do but I dont know where to start. And also, I cant quit my job now because I dont have another source of income right now... I am hoping that this vacation will help clear my mind
I am burned out because of prolonged academic stress. Consistent efforts and overthinking every smallest situation or decision i made in past. My body signed me during december of 2023 that u need a break from all this,but i ignored my inner voice. I was annoyed of the fact that why do my body signals for break in every 2 months? But then i realised that in those 2 months,i do my best.the best i can. And after ignoring myself since December,i had ny practicals in January and February. March(present)is all about my final exams. Infact i have one tomorrow. And once my finals are finished, I have several entrance exams for university. But i have realised that i have to recover from burnout first and then start yo focus on my university exams. Ignoring the voice of your inner soul is definitely not a solution. And today i have realised that!
Yes, I've been burned out alright, and it's so hard to recover from, but thankfully, after a long time, I am. Recovery took self analysis, seeing what was wrong with my life, and getting rid of people and situations and thoughts that were toxic. I took time off from everything I could, and concentrated on myself for a change. Gave myself precious time to rest and heal, and make a new plan for my life that is realistic and doable. I hit rock bottom, and thought I could never rise again, so take heart if you feel like this, as life is changing you for the better, and you do eventually begin to rise again- from the bottom, exhausted, but with a plan of action and self love, the right decisions and impetus comes and you realise you got this! Step- by-step, a new life begins in you and for you! Thank you sir for this video, and all the best to everyone here! 👍
I didn't realize that I was burned out from last days . My productivity went from 90 to zero . I was just sleeping most of the time and I couldn't breathe properly. I took a break from work, drank loads of fluids and ate fresh fruits and went for a good massage today which made me to bounce back to normal routine. I m feeling wonderful now
Sounds more a bit of being overwhelmed. A burn out takes months/years to recover from...and is not salved with a massage and some fresh fruits. It´s severe damage on your brain that effects your whole body and brain.
@@victoriab5443 Burnout comes in stages, some find solutions faster than others. Fresh fruit and a massage might have been the fastest solution to their problem but then they very well may have caught it super early and immediately come to healthy habits. Each experience is different
I need that too. I didn't realize how long ago these comments were posted. 🤭😏 I just bought the bullit blender. Hoping to feel better with fresh fruit smoothies and a massage sounds really good. I definitely need that too. Glad the fall is finally here, love the brisk morning walks in the fall. Opens up my sinuses, so I can breathe better. Hope everyone is feeling better two years later. ❤
I experienced burn out.. my steps were to avoid all negetivity , follow motivational speakers like brain Tracy ... Truly appreciate these videos from him , they are truly transforming.
I burned out 2 years and a half ago. It made me change my whole life and vision. Quit job, then 4 Months of practically "vegetable mood" then started with exercises, vacations, nutrition, more exercises, more burned out in the process and lots of tries and fails. I kept on it then discover i needed to work on the mental part and so i did. It's been 2 years and I am still in the process, but i am in a better situation now. I lost my passion but discovered 100 more. Finding out my values and goals has been so helpful and i feel like i did every step mentioned in that order without even knowing it in time. I wish i could have found this a lot early though. It's been a great journey and I am grateful for it.
I was so burned out! I kept telling me that I could not handle one more thing. No one listened. When I did burn out do to a major traumatic life event I had not only burn out but PTSD. I feel like things are better although I don’t know if the PTSD will ever go away. I am in counseling. That so helps to have someone understand.
Yes that was my wake up call. I am sleeping most or all my weekends away. It is very hard to make me time but I am trying my best to do it so I can think about something else and have something else to talk about. I keep reminding myself I had a life before this. Go out and get my life back . I wish you strength to do this.
@@SharlenesJourney yup, 5hanks for the kind thought, i'm keeping strong it helps if i just burn out my stress with physical activity, i know its not facing the problems but i try to resolve those i can n just accept those out of my control. Keep strong Sharlele.
I just quit my job due to this, stress levels way above acceptable for 4 years resulted not only in mental problems like bad memory, can't focus, irritated but actual body pains, shortage of breath chest pains. Yeah, not worth it, i'm out of there. Edit, and as you can see also linguistic capabilities...
Yes, i am definately burnt out. Without going into all the reasons why, i absolutely need to make some changes in my life.. In short, more "ME time". Right now, i am feeling absolutely overwhelmed with everything. It's not that i just don't try, -I do.Trouble is, i keep getting knocked down, which has really destroyed my self confidence. By the way.. I'm 61.
Its life trying to tell you something needs to change. Figure out what needs to change and when you have the energy for it fix and change those things.
When's the last time you travelled somewhere purely to enjoy yourself? Not "I want to go to Disneyland", but "I want to visit Italy". Maybe a small vacation without a lot of planning is in order; think of a location you've never been that has features you'd like to experience or that you know you enjoy. Work out the travel arrangements and have a couple hotels in mind, a means to get around, and just explore. See where the day takes you but go in without actual expectations: this restaurant smells nice, I'll go in and see what it's like. That wine looks nice, I'll have a glass. This pasta sounds interesting, why not? Afterwards go for a walk along the coastline, a local park, a nice looking street - just take time to truly engage with your environment and enjoy it as it comes to you. Engage your eyes, ears, nose, hands if you can - the world we regularly see as small and suffocating is vast and expansive. You deserve a chance to enjoy it.
Recently just started a new job and completely overcommited to it. I wanted to make a good impression and impress everyone there with my capability to "take on as much work as possible". Worst part is that I didn't even realize I was overworking myself. I thought that other things in life were causing the issue. I couldn't relax or shut off so I desperately tried to find the solution until I realized that my working schedule, something I spend the majority of my day time with may be causing the problem and I should tune things down by being honest to myself and to my coworkers. I came back to work and explained my situation and fortunately was understood. If not then I certainly would have gone for a new job. For anyone who is suffering from burnout: Know that every feeling is temporary, keep on going and figure out what you've been doing wrong that might be causing the problem. Go easy on yourself!
Thank you for your post; it clear out a lot of thought in my mind. After 28 years military and stills going; plus single mom and demand job from the post office. I feel likes I am about to lose it all. I took a week off from everyone accept my children and my parents. I have ideas and plan for every single day; but I so lack of motivation that I spent time Bing watching shows on TH-cam and lay around the house for a few days. I feel so uncomfortable and unproductive; I want to cry but no tear. In everyone eyes, it look like I have everything; great jobs with benefits and status quote. I did reach my goals in both job, but Inside, I screaming helps me and ready to retired because I am burnouts of working 2 weeks with no day off; when I am off, I have to run errands for myself and my family. I worked on Christmas day and watching my friends deployed on New Year Eve to another battle. I known Soldiers and veterans that killed themselves because they couldn't do these anymore. Thank you for posting" Accept that you are_________don't like it that you have to change it.
Mom of 3 and career professional has taken a toll. I hit burn out awhile back. My life is a to do list. When it gets to be too much, I daydream of being on an island by myself with no responsibilities. Then I snap out of it and remind myself to be greatful and keep plugging away.
I just decided leave my job after 9 years of solid honest service, at work I value most people who work with/for me and give their best, so when top man refused to give them, some small pay rise , but substantial for my men I see no point to work there, To carry about business as I did, starting a little bit early and finish a little bit late. Time for change, time to repeat it but for someone who understand what his/her best business asset is: People !
I've been burning out. It's somewhat ironic because I've been the healthiest I've ever been mentally, but at the same time my living situation is just draining my soul. I wish I could fix it right now. Honestly, being burnt out can at times feel like some strange form of depression. Fatigue, slow mind and body, muted emotions...a real drab.
I literally could have written this. I can't escape my living situation right now. It will be a few months until I can get my own place. How did you persevere?
I talked to my boss to change my schedule from evening to mornings and to ease the pace of work. I moved back in with my parents and they surrounded me with love, my boyfriend also, and I changed my food into more natural and local one. I could not do sport, it was just much, but walking helped me alot:). The recovery was very long, almost half a year and I wish I did not go trough that, but it was a great life experience too. Thank you for the advices. You are extraordinary! :)
I'm experiencing this since 2yrs, it's so exhausted and empty ! I even don't remember when the time I enjoyed the most and just feel myself, surrounding, being thankful and happy....I really want that life back man !
After Severe Burn Out followed by a partial recovery and burn out again I saw the habit and decided to Do Nothing until I felt up to it. Asking what is important and what I wanted to do and started doing it. feeling better but not rushing the process; a new person is emerging.
I’m right in the beginning of it and the doctor just told me ”you’re a smart girl, you should know that your problem lies in your head” .. At this moment I just need time
I feel burnt out through leaving so many horrible situations from a young age in search of better, only to find similar horrible situations all over again. I quit alcohol over 6yrs ago, complete life overhaul improving fitness, diet, outlook. Have studied and practiced stoicism for years, always reflecting and working on myself, living truthfully, altruistic, yet still struggling at 38 and feeling strangled out by a toxic system.
I gave my all, studied at my best ability for around 7-8 weeks of my first semester at university...not only that, but I didn’t see any of my friends since uni started (lockdown because of corona). But I crashed this past week. It’s hard to even get out of bed but I still force myself...awe man, I have 3 more weeks until the winter holiday, I just have to push and push and push despite needing a break so bad
I think a period of rest and self-reflection is what helped me the most, as I needed a radical change in direction. I needed sick leave to get to that point, though.
Great tips... If you're tired after a trip. Burned out for real? Leave everything in your life. Start a new one. FIXED! You really can not return to the cause, ever.
music is helping me through as well as setting up boundaries and keeping people from pushing me past my limit... time alone is critical and by that I don't mean hanging out with my phone...might as well invite thousands of people into the room...so no, I spend time alone creating beautiful things... I'm near crisis mode after accepting that I have no choice in handling some extreme family stuff....finding time for me right now is more important than I ever realized. Thank you, Sir for the excellent advice. Well said. I now have a few more ideas to help me cope as I get through this nightmare.
Personally I recover from a burn out by taking a few days off and just giving my body what it needs. More sleep. More fresh air. Having a good laugh. Spending time with loved ones. Journaling. Meditating.
I've been preparing to write my Final exams for close to a year now. What was supposed to be 5 months of intense preparation has instead turned out to be a year long and still continuing sojourn that I have no idea will end when. The exams have already been postponed 4 times and it is likely that it might happen again. Every time I've managed to push myself and gain momentum with my preparation, there's another postponement and that absolutely crushes my motivation. I've come to a point where I simply don't care about my exams anymore and if this continues, I will fail my exams whenever they happen and will effectively waste over a year's worth of hard work. I don't know how to motivate and push myself again to prepare, it just seems like too much at this point.
Thank you for this. I am a business owner who has worked super hard past three years and was obsessing and always beating myself up for too long. I was always thinking too much about what could go wrong. We have a nice company and I arrived at success and hit a wall because I had neglected my personal life for so long and was under a lot of stress. I also had a back injury which didn’t help which I am almost recovered from now. Long story short I found myself being more tired and not wanting to deal with things, just needed a break and couldn’t get one. Recently I have had really bad anxiety attacks and it was all from the complete exhaustion. I am now on the road to recovering and I am making it a priority to take care of myself and reduce stress. I am changing my way of thinking. There is no need to create extra stress through worry. I know I will get back to a new and improved self, and this is going to make me stronger.
I feel you. I'm writing exams soon and I am so utterly exhausted from this since I have to study but also do homework and not forget about my social life all at the same time. Definitely get enough sleep!! and just try to do as much of the points he shared in this video as you can.
Saaaaaaaammeee. That's why I'm looking forward to the summer holiday starting in 2 months! (I have early exams). To hell with keeping up with classes - I'll just spend an extra semester at school then if that's what it takes to make it work! I'd rather be half or a whole year late than never finishing!
Ive worked in different jobs, hoping not to suffer a breakdown. But i can only last for around 2-4 jears then i need around 1-1,5 jears to recover at least enough to try again. At the moment its my 4. breakedown and i just dont want anymore im 40 jears old and all i want is to drop out of society. Im home since febuary 2022 and its the middle of august 2022 i dont feel recovered at all! As long as i know i will have to force myself back into some kind of job i just cant relax.
I'm currently in a burn out. While dealing with the Christmas rush in my shop and handling wholesale orders, I was staying up until 7 in the morning, getting 4 hours of sleep, and repeating. Now that it's all over I'm happily just taking time to reset my sleep schedule, reorganize my workspace, and figure out a new routine that focuses on my health as a priority :)
I have been suffering from burnout that I thought earlier as depression... it was really hard to deal with unless find out and accept that it's a burnout... it's like complete exhaustion in aspects such as mental, physical and emotional... you get overwhelmed by a lot of things and starts to hate even the smaller things... you have that feeling of dissatisfaction with the touch of being out control...and then you start becoming more and more antisocial... I tend to lock myself in my room everyday because whenever I talk to people around me, i feel really exhausted... Being burned out, I became more unproductive and unwell (health wise) which have made me realize that I have to deal with it once and for all... the first thing I did was to figure out what really did cause my burning out... I realized it was my job and the circle I am in that caused it... my job was never in tune with my capabilities no matter how easy it was and the environment in my job and in the job dorm is too hostile, hypocritical and toxic even though it was supposed to be a christian institution... seeing that I am much happier whenever I get away from that type of environment, I realized that the only thing I have to do is to quit... so I did quit my job and left... now I am on the process of healing and regaining my motivation...
@@WildWave Wild Wave thank you for asking... I am much better now... Since I quit my job I felt a lot better, it's like I finally got rid of a thorn in my chest... Now I got a new job that really suites me well... A job that not only is healthy for me but also has the means to provide a lot of opportunities for me to grow... 😊😊😊 ... As of now I feel grateful for the things that happened (good or bad) hence I became more optimistic, focused and most of all, much happier 😊😊😊 ...
This is exactly me too. Super stressed, foggy, withdrawing, increasingly unproductive etc. Its definitely my job. Working on finding a new one. Glad it worked out for you.
Thank you, your words are such an eye opener, I’ve been having a burn out due to my work, and recently i decided to quit my job. Its time to prioritized my self, my mental health
I was born in Hungary. At 21 I decided to move to Austria for a chance of having a better life. I didnt know german at that point but I created a system in order to learn to language fast. Each day I made progress... and at one point, after being there for 2 years, i decided to go to college and study part-time business and management (german), all while working fulltime. The beginning was confusing and full of stress as i didnt understand much, but i bought the recommended books and memorized everything... Everything... On the weekdays: waking up sometimes at 5:00 am only to work until 14:00 then do the housework, cooking etc. (as i was living alone) and afternoon studying. My Fridays look like so: Wake up at 5, go to work until 12:00, go home grab some food, and then go to college until 22:00, Saturday: 8:30 - 16:30 studying... It went on for 2 years. I still have a year left, and need to write 2 Bacherlor thesis. Since then I changed work. I finally got an internship in Process Management at a big company...Everyday it takes an 1:30 hours to go to the workplace back and forth. I wake up at 5:00 and get home at around 17:00. I think I´m burnt out. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought that its only a year... Im trying to survive this last year.
yeah, I had been burnout. I push myself to do my hobbies and made good memories with my friends. I started again to love myself and went to my childhood places to recover myself. Thanks for this video. Sir, u look good too.
I am currently in burnout because of insane work processes, temperamental managers and a toxic demanding boss..not to mention the bills that I have to pay and the family that I have to support... oh god I need a long time out
Thanks you Brian Tracy! I just spoke to my boss yesterday about being burned out and I've been given 2 weeks leave. I suddenly can feel all the exhaustion coming down on me - I am going to have a lot of sleep
Exercise, but not overdo it. Nutrition is also important. Lay off sugar, fastfood and caffine. Also, find out what burned you out in the first place. A good tip is to do less at a slower tempo.
For caffeine tho, it’s hard for me bc I like the taste of it I think I’m becoming an addict to coffee now 😅 I only drink it once a day tho, for nutrition eh, it’s alright I guess for my diet, I only eat like a bowl of salad each day bc my mom made me eat it 😂
@@henrynguyen6799 A good approach to caffeine would be to ask: why do I enjoy it so much? Is it the taste, the rush, are you hooked on how it makes you feel or the perception of it? There's caffeine gum out there and honestly tasting that ruined my addiction to caffeine. I decided I love the taste of coffee vs caffeine, so I switched to decaff; now I can drink coffee anytime I want. including at night, and not feel bad xD I still indulge caffeine now and then but never to the extent I did; all things in moderation as cheesy as it may sound. Caffeine isn't inherently bad, it's just something we overrely on socially; it becomes negative when we cant function without it
@@socialismodemocracia9366 Caffeine is a stimulant and carries risk of addiction. With addiction comes dependency on the substance to function properly as well as increasing tolerance for the dosage; too much caffeine can cause heart problems as well as possible death. Attempting to stop consuming caffeine can lead to withdrawal symptoms (all negative). Short term: Caffeine gives a boost of energy as well as thickens the grey matter of the brain. This thickening can negatively affect memory, attention, and mood while the stuff works its way out of your system. It's not inherently bad and as far as stimulants go is very mild, but addiction to anything isn't good for the body.
Once I started online school I just felt exhausted I didn’t even pay attention I just scrolled on social media mindlessly. Now I’m going back to school so hopefully that will fix everything. And I’ll finally go out more. I’m starting to be more active and not be on my phone as much but it’s so hard. I really am trying but I don’t know for how long I can keep up.
Rn I’m dealing with my first ever burnout, I’m a senior in high school and my classmates and I have been incredibly demotivated since the start of the year due to our teachers lack of empathy/collaboration which lowered our grades exponentially. I no longer feel motivated, even attempting to understand a subject has been hard. I really needed this
I am currently burned out, having a vacation next week after 3 years of nonstop hustling. I have come to realize that what I can give and what is expected of me don't allign. Mediocricy is expected of me and it took me 3 years to realize that. It came in the form fo me doing my best to give out a great quality product that was not appreciated. I did that several times with big projects that didn't have the impact I expected and was not because of the quality but because it was "too much". In time I realized that people in the company I'm working at doesn't have the ability to appreciate it and they ask for more mindless activities from me. That's the misalignment with my values. It is hard for me to do the "bare minimum" and I've caught myself suddenly start to do more than that which ultimately will lead again to my efforts not being appreciated. So I'm trying to see how to reconcile that. thank you for the video
I've been overworking for about six months ,I didn't have a proper vocation since a very long time , now I'm burning out to a very point that even the smallest tasks that I used to fully enjoy seems very hard. I'm so consumed that I just feel like even looking for a solution is hard.
I’ve been battling with burnout for almost 3 years now and monthly been meeting a doctor while taking meds too. I also to vacation and solo traveling to reflect. But one that helped me a lot also is listening to your videos every day and every morning, especially these days that we are just locked at home most days and there’s so many negative things happening around the world, it’s been really helpful to have a YT channel like yours that focuses on the positive aspect of life. Thank you for sharing your videos and motivations. Hope you continue to inspire more people and wishing you a healthy/ longer life.
@@On2thakneppz1 Hi, I didn't change job but I did change how I approach things, especially not taking things (life) too seriously. Setting time for exercise (walking) and meditation also helped too. And doing what you want. I've been better since the last time I wrote here. I'm off meds too for several months now. hope this helps you.
I was burnout from pursuing a second degree that conflicted with my values and required me to be someone that I am not and read, write, think and talk about the same things over and over again. I had to admit to myself that the degree was ruining me and I took a pause from the program to clear my head and make sure that I dont want to pursue the degree. I took time to do the things that I value- e.g. getting into nature and taking care of my physical health.
There was a statement by Dale Carnegie, I believe, which was stop worrying about the things you cannot control. This is always the starting point for my burn-out recovery along with a holiday. This allows me to take half a dozen paces away from the "coal face". As once relaxed after a holiday, I find you can focus on the things you can control, once you realise what they are.
I am 19 year old indian who is working on his start up, investing more time on myself and at the same time educating myself at a very high level. Today I had a burnout. Thank you Sir Brian Tracey for clearing my mind.
I suffered from severe burnout and whilst all the methods in this video helped get me back on track I had to go on anti-depressants for 6 months to stabilise my levels again. It was worth it.
My reoccurring theme is"from ashes into flame", I care too much for others band try to help to the point I'm burnt out and exhausted. I then lose motivation to complete my own goals and have to recover then correct my path and continue. Rest and lots of sleep, being forgiving of myself for being tired and basically just do nothing and be still. That is the hardest to force myself to relax, rest and recover. I gradually return to my usual activities such as study and social interactions.
What helped me recover from burnout is getting to the root of what burned me out. A lot of advice I have received treats surface symptoms, rather than what was really causing me stress.
Thank you Sir, for not mentioning how joyfully or successful we will get if we recover from burnout because that would have been a reason for me to stress out as usual.
I thought that my head is completely fkd up. I was not sure if I am fine at all. After I took 3 weeks sick leave and one week vacations... I realized I am completely 100% normal and healthy. Nothing wrong with me. It's our jobs and what job requires from us today.
I have been burned out from content production for a few months now, and it sucks. It feels like you rock bottom with no chance of recovery. I mess my lines up, make dumb rookie mistakes on camera that I wouldn't otherwise with 25 years of experience in my field. Burnout recovery here we come! TY 4 the video.
Yes, I had this experience when I worked on cruise ships more than year with very short breaks. It's really terrible for mental and physical health! Be careful. Keep balance in all!
Thanks... this helped me... I was on the edge of resigning my job due to me being fed by negative thoughts.. now that i got back on my energy and will power level i experience same things on job but it does not make me miserable I gues i needed some reorganisation and rest to carry on...
I am currently going through a burn out I’m 23 I started working since I was 16 in the mix I started school at 18 for medical Assistant then was a medical assistant for 4 years then got a second job after the 4th year then started school and started another job I quit the job I was at for 4 year and still had 2 jobs then started school and started another job so now I had 1 job and school. I quit my job and now I’m focusing on just college… Now is the time I give myself a rest and take a step back and care for my self I am taking everything step by step
1. Avoid using Social media for long time just an hour is enough for gossip. 2. Avoid Negative news and Unnecessary endless arguments. 3.Go outside everyday Maybe in just near park. 4.Watch Good movies and TV Comedy shows, food shows. 5.Learn something new or do something you like it could be painting, reading, playing football with friends(or just join team if you can :) 6.Play with little kids and pets like Cat or Dog. *try staying Relax🐌*
The stated goals and values of my previous employer were perfectly aligned with my own when I interviewed for the position, and this was a major factor in accepting their job offer. I turned down better offers for companies who were not as aligned with my own values. In practice the real values of the company ended up being diametrically opposed to their stated ones, which (hindsight being 20/20) should have been evident in the first few months. After four years in the company, I had an hypertension attack and a burnout. I was then made redundant on the fifth year. I have recovered from the hypertension and I'm still working on recovering from the burn out. I really should have left when it became apparent that our values and goals were incompatible.
I have just worked over 200 hours in as a chef and as the Christmas period has slowed down I have felt burned out never had it before so I’m going try rest up ready to start again in the new year as I play on the PDC development tour and that takes a lot of focus
Recently i have experienced burn out i think that was burnout what i experienced those days it took 11 months of suffering i lost myself totally I lost my emotional capability My reading and understanding capabilities I also use to feel difficulty while thinking deep or concentrating I use to feel like detached from world and all time isolated but hopefully i m recovering Meditation helped me soo much
The same condition I am suffering from... I need help bro... Doctors are not able to understand my situation...they thinks that I am in depression...but actually I am not...Please help me 🙏
@@riindiapvtltd.1760 .. Hope so!!! I will recover completely from this situation soon... I started exercise and meditation... I am a good computer programmer.. But due to this weird situation I got tired soon ... I have to think deep even for a simple program... I was surprised that how somebody can become so dumb who used to be sharp minded and intelligent without any reason... I can understand ur feeling...
Like a gentle shepherd Jesus protects the flock from their enemies. He heals the sick, strengthens the weak, binds up the broken and continually watches over them. He feeds them with the strength of His presence. He is the bread of life. 🙏
I like this video because it encourages self examination rather than just give a prescriptive list of actions. everyone’s personal circumstances are different and often the cause of burnout is due to something within ourselves not aligned to the environment, or vice versa. the inner work and self examination is a key to most problems in life, burnout included.
I’m burnt out from work and was hospitalized from overexertion and dehydration, but the doctor mainly had a problem with the 90 hour work weeks and my last day off was 2 months ago.
Dear Sir, what you said here, especially about the alignment with values and goals, struck a chord so right that it actually made me smile for the first time in a while. Thank you for the necessary advice.
Brian, this is a wonderful video. This topic is very close to me at the present time in my life. For the last 27 years, I have been in the music industry and for the last 12 years, have ran my own professional jazz studio called Sound 81 Productions. It has been a life that has been rewarding, but has hit a time for self reflection. Recently, I have just accepted that I have reached a burnout point. It was hard to come to terms with and talking with my staff, students, and clients who I'm thankful to have passed knowledge onto and do business with was the hardest. We also become like family. I felt like a failure to them and myself. Teaching others how to build strength in their life, that they can follow their dreams and become successful, and always being the rock for others, I had lacked in my own self care. 2 years ago, I lost one of my mentors I built the studio with. From the time to now, new stress and life issues have built up to a point where what I once loved, became what I wanted to escape. I say this with humility, but I have achieved a level in my career that my work is known and expected to be at a certain level. It hasn't been where it once was because of the constant stress in the environment I am in, and people close to me have noticed and brought it to my attention. I've lived a life giving everything I have to help others achieve their dreams and have no regrets, but I feel stuck. I work with so many young people who are so excited to explore their gifts and be apart of an industry that most people dream of, and it has become difficult to keep this facade on myself that everything is ok in my life. How you described burnout and the advice you gave in this short video turned a lightbulb on. The last few weeks I have started to make plans for a change for my own wellbeing and health. Seeing this video was a sign for me and I appreciate your advice. I'd like to be around in this world for a longtime and know that I must make changes to do that, even if it is changing careers, and/or environments. I have just started my new journey to bring health and wellness back into my life and again, this video hit on everything I have been needing to hear. This is a first for me leaving a long comment on someones video. Sharing this story and typing this comment have already helped make this real and accept this burnout, that it's ok, and I can recover from it as you said. On a positive side, I have started yoga again and regular exercise, have gone back to a healthier diet I once did have, the support from friends and family have been positive, and each day I've allowed myself to be ok with this new life change. I'm only around a month in to recovery from this burnout, but hearing from people like yourself, truly inspires myself and others that it can be done. Thank you for your advice and hope you have a wonderful day.
It's been a long time since coming in contact with your knowledge Tracey! I really appreciated this video and found it valuable. I would have to agree that regular exercise, sleep and a healthy diet does go a long way. I think it's the foundation which supports a skyscraper. But I do remember a time when I felt like I was on the edge of burning out dispite following the 3 self care foundations. At that stage to pull myself out I completely kicked coffee out (I noticed coffee although can help me be productive also makes me slightly anxious) then pushed all my tasks through a priority filter. Focusing on only the top 3 task each day which leveraged and solve 70% of the rest of my problems. That really helped me move from being a headless chicken running around being busy. To a calm and creative state which allow me to feel like I'm moving through my day with focus and purpose.
I am burned 🔥 out seriously 😳 I have been that way for 2 years at this point I refuse to work for anyone I am through shot, frayed and fricasseed unable to do anything for anybody not even for myself. Thank God I am loaded with money, my own house 🏡 and cars are payed for. All I need now is a really good house keeper that knows how to organize all of my precious stuff seriously 😳.
Yes I have been , I have been watching motivational videos and now as I speak I can feel myself recovering ....💪💪it's making me realise how important self believe is and investing in myself ...🙌🙌
I’m barely 17 and I’m going through burn out I’m so exhausted I just want to take some time off to refocus and think about where I’m headed- but I can’t do that sooo yeA,, great video tho! Helped me out a bit!
Thank you for watching everyone, tell me, what do you do to recover from being burned out? What tip do you want to try? If you need an extra boost of motivation, try these 15 questions to ask yourself during tough times >> bit.ly/2CU93dL
Thanks for all the great tips!
Yes, I have a natural tendency to sleep for long hours, and when I wake up I'll feel better physically and mentally. Afterward to get back on track I need to spent quality spiritual time with the creator of the worlds to thank Him for all His blessings for me and other mankind.Thanks Brian Tracy,I watched your speeches via U tube and automatically considered you as my virtual mentor.
Brian, I watch many of your videos and they've provided fantastic value to my life. But this is the first time I discovered you were human. It was great to hear even you have limits and had to rest. Gives us aspiring minds hope!
Brian Tracy I enjoyed this . I was wondering why I was demotivated (or so I thought ) I now know I have hit burn out . Oddly enough I have written a programme on energy balance , but got too tired to finish it ! #practicewhatwepreach :)
I don't know if I made the smartest choice, but I started freelance writing in the middle of a high - risk pregnancy. I needed something to keep my mind busy so I wouldn't get depressed. I now have two kids, younger is 10 months old, I am a stay-at-home working mom of 2 and burnt out to the point where I basically stopped feeling. I literally don't feel anything, and I snap at the small frustrations. Should I:
A. Pause my work and take a couple of days to myself?
B. Try to reorganize tasks so I can get the minimum work done.
C. Something else I didn't think of.
The problem is I started out strong, making nice profits, needing very little help, so no one really believes me when I say I'm falling apart. I also have financial obligations and people depending on my income. Needless to say, I might be suffering from high functioning anxiety. Thanks to anyone reading this, and I will appreciate any response, even if it's tough to hear.
Im burnt out because of over caring how i do every little thing and being a perfectionist,always overthinking every situation until i reached a point where my mind and body are completely fatigued,now im here selfmotivating watching videos and reading trying to recuperate.
@Elena- It's due to your childhood. You may want to research (CEN) Childhood Emotional Neglect. Learning about this dynamic and working through the pain solved it for me.
Hope all goes well! 🙏
@@southernbawselady7092 woah. M
My therapist and I have been talking about why I'm emotionally unaware which is why I'm burnt out right now. She said it was linked to my childhood but didn't term it. Will look into this, thanks for sharing.
@@southernbawselady7092 Wow this is the answer I was looking for. Thank you!
@@abstractanishtypebeats933 Awesome!
Stay strong! 💪
Same thing I deal with and it shows at work 😞 completely burnt out
I got burned at my old job. It felt like my mental and physical was going into a bad place it has never gone. I took an early one week vacation. Went back to work that Monday and quit that Tuesday. That action rejuvenated me. Became self-employed. Very happy and at peace now.
How did you do it
This is so relatable. My job is killing my soul it’s getting extremely bad. I have a one week vacation next week and I honestly might end up quitting and not coming back I want to be self employed
I just did the same thing, I'm starting to realize just how bad my old job was
this is how I feel right now. I take 8 days vacation next week and visit the place that I want to live one day. I am trying to figure out what I need to do with my job. I want to quit and start doing the work that I really want to do but I dont know where to start. And also, I cant quit my job now because I dont have another source of income right now...
I am hoping that this vacation will help clear my mind
This is what i want to do. Did you have some kind of money saved up?
I am burned out because of prolonged academic stress.
Consistent efforts and overthinking every smallest situation or decision i made in past.
My body signed me during december of 2023 that u need a break from all this,but i ignored my inner voice.
I was annoyed of the fact that why do my body signals for break in every 2 months?
But then i realised that in those 2 months,i do my best.the best i can.
And after ignoring myself since December,i had ny practicals in January and February.
March(present)is all about my final exams.
Infact i have one tomorrow.
And once my finals are finished,
I have several entrance exams for university.
But i have realised that i have to recover from burnout first and then start yo focus on my university exams.
Ignoring the voice of your inner soul is definitely not a solution.
And today i have realised that!
Yes, I have been burned out. Tp recover, I slept and detached from social media and the phone. It was necessary to take those steps.
It is a shame you have to feel guilty for not participating in social media or turning your phone off.
Same.
This is what I need to do
@Chlöe of Olivine Everyone is different, this clearly wasn't the case for them.
How long were you down for?
Yes, I've been burned out alright, and it's so hard to recover from, but thankfully, after a long time, I am. Recovery took self analysis, seeing what was wrong with my life, and getting rid of people and situations and thoughts that were toxic. I took time off from everything I could, and concentrated on myself for a change. Gave myself precious time to rest and heal, and make a new plan for my life that is realistic and doable. I hit rock bottom, and thought I could never rise again, so take heart if you feel like this, as life is changing you for the better, and you do eventually begin to rise again- from the bottom, exhausted, but with a plan of action and self love, the right decisions and impetus comes and you realise you got this! Step- by-step, a new life begins in you and for you!
Thank you sir for this video, and all the best to everyone here! 👍
I’m so burnt out that the suggestions to fix it sound like too much to handle...
Same
I've done the vacation part, yet it's not enough
@@aarkdel that's literally what I did for 1 month 😂 but..nothing *hElp* I reAlly need to do 1 month of hw in the next 2 days 😔
No vacation no netflix... stop working and walk annd sleep. Helps alot
I feel u bro, I don't even wanna think about fixing it
I didn't realize that I was burned out from last days . My productivity went from 90 to zero . I was just sleeping most of the time and I couldn't breathe properly. I took a break from work, drank loads of fluids and ate fresh fruits and went for a good massage today which made me to bounce back to normal routine. I m feeling wonderful now
I need that 😩
Just one day?
Sounds more a bit of being overwhelmed. A burn out takes months/years to recover from...and is not salved with a massage and some fresh fruits. It´s severe damage on your brain that effects your whole body and brain.
@@victoriab5443 Burnout comes in stages, some find solutions faster than others. Fresh fruit and a massage might have been the fastest solution to their problem but then they very well may have caught it super early and immediately come to healthy habits.
Each experience is different
I need that too. I didn't realize how long ago these comments were posted. 🤭😏
I just bought the bullit blender. Hoping to feel better with fresh fruit smoothies and a massage sounds really good. I definitely need that too. Glad the fall is finally here, love the brisk morning walks in the fall. Opens up my sinuses, so I can breathe better. Hope everyone is feeling better two years later. ❤
Nature, yoga, swimming and long walks and jogging in fresh air. Ambient music. Meditation. Healing. Love.
I experienced burn out.. my steps were to avoid all negetivity , follow motivational speakers like brain Tracy ... Truly appreciate these videos from him , they are truly transforming.
I am happy to hear it!
I burned out 2 years and a half ago. It made me change my whole life and vision. Quit job, then 4 Months of practically "vegetable mood" then started with exercises, vacations, nutrition, more exercises, more burned out in the process and lots of tries and fails. I kept on it then discover i needed to work on the mental part and so i did.
It's been 2 years and I am still in the process, but i am in a better situation now. I lost my passion but discovered 100 more.
Finding out my values and goals has been so helpful and i feel like i did every step mentioned in that order without even knowing it in time. I wish i could have found this a lot early though.
It's been a great journey and I am grateful for it.
I was so burned out! I kept telling me that I could not handle one more thing. No one listened. When I did burn out do to a major traumatic life event I had not only burn out but PTSD. I feel like things are better although I don’t know if the PTSD will ever go away. I am in counseling. That so helps to have someone understand.
Yes , I’m burned out now. That basic functions in life are so hard to complete.
I'm so burnt out i dont have any relationship outside of work. I close my eyes and i see work and i keep on thinking of mistakes i make at work.
Yes that was my wake up call. I am sleeping most or all my weekends away. It is very hard to make me time but I am trying my best to do it so I can think about something else and have something else to talk about. I keep reminding myself I had a life before this. Go out and get my life back .
I wish you strength to do this.
Same here 😞 all I think about is my mistakes I no longer have a life it’s gone from me I’m
So depressed. I hope you’re well now though 🙏🏾
@@SharlenesJourney yup, 5hanks for the kind thought, i'm keeping strong it helps if i just burn out my stress with physical activity, i know its not facing the problems but i try to resolve those i can n just accept those out of my control. Keep strong Sharlele.
@@SharlenesJourney hows someone as beatuful as u in this state
Robert Bailey Thank you🥺 and just my life is very overwhelming at the moment so much going on lol
I had a burnout. I solved it by leaving my job, and taking a month off between jobs. I felt much better afterwards.
I left the job but now I am wondering if i made the right choice
@@helenokoye1879 hello, how are you doing now?
I just quit my job due to this, stress levels way above acceptable for 4 years resulted not only in mental problems like bad memory, can't focus, irritated but actual body pains, shortage of breath chest pains. Yeah, not worth it, i'm out of there.
Edit, and as you can see also linguistic capabilities...
Exercise helps me. Just getting out for a walk can be refreshing.
Its that time of the year again where i try to recover from burnout then give up then try again next year!!
Yes, i am definately burnt out. Without going into all the reasons why, i absolutely need to make some changes in my life.. In short, more "ME time". Right now, i am feeling absolutely overwhelmed with everything. It's not that i just don't try, -I do.Trouble is, i keep getting knocked down, which has really destroyed my self confidence. By the way.. I'm 61.
Its life trying to tell you something needs to change. Figure out what needs to change and when you have the energy for it fix and change those things.
When's the last time you travelled somewhere purely to enjoy yourself?
Not "I want to go to Disneyland", but "I want to visit Italy".
Maybe a small vacation without a lot of planning is in order; think of a location you've never been that has features you'd like to experience or that you know you enjoy. Work out the travel arrangements and have a couple hotels in mind, a means to get around, and just explore. See where the day takes you but go in without actual expectations: this restaurant smells nice, I'll go in and see what it's like. That wine looks nice, I'll have a glass. This pasta sounds interesting, why not? Afterwards go for a walk along the coastline, a local park, a nice looking street - just take time to truly engage with your environment and enjoy it as it comes to you. Engage your eyes, ears, nose, hands if you can - the world we regularly see as small and suffocating is vast and expansive.
You deserve a chance to enjoy it.
Recently just started a new job and completely overcommited to it. I wanted to make a good impression and impress everyone there with my capability to "take on as much work as possible". Worst part is that I didn't even realize I was overworking myself. I thought that other things in life were causing the issue. I couldn't relax or shut off so I desperately tried to find the solution until I realized that my working schedule, something I spend the majority of my day time with may be causing the problem and I should tune things down by being honest to myself and to my coworkers. I came back to work and explained my situation and fortunately was understood. If not then I certainly would have gone for a new job.
For anyone who is suffering from burnout: Know that every feeling is temporary, keep on going and figure out what you've been doing wrong that might be causing the problem. Go easy on yourself!
Helpful I'm going to shift careers because I can't face my old way of life anymore.
Thank you for your post; it clear out a lot of thought in my mind. After 28 years military and stills going; plus single mom and demand job from the post office. I feel likes I am about to lose it all. I took a week off from everyone accept my children and my parents. I have ideas and plan for every single day; but I so lack of motivation that I spent time Bing watching shows on TH-cam and lay around the house for a few days. I feel so uncomfortable and unproductive; I want to cry but no tear. In everyone eyes, it look like I have everything; great jobs with benefits and status quote. I did reach my goals in both job, but Inside, I screaming helps me and ready to retired because I am burnouts of working 2 weeks with no day off; when I am off, I have to run errands for myself and my family. I worked on Christmas day and watching my friends deployed on New Year Eve to another battle. I known Soldiers and veterans that killed themselves because they couldn't do these anymore. Thank you for posting" Accept that you are_________don't like it that you have to change it.
Mom of 3 and career professional has taken a toll. I hit burn out awhile back. My life is a to do list. When it gets to be too much, I daydream of being on an island by myself with no responsibilities. Then I snap out of it and remind myself to be greatful and keep plugging away.
Momma, you have darn good taste
Bangtan 💜 I hope you AR well now.
I just decided leave my job after 9 years of solid honest service, at work I value most people who work with/for me and give their best, so when top man refused to give them, some small pay rise , but substantial for my men I see no point to work there, To carry about business as I did, starting a little bit early and finish a little bit late. Time for change, time to repeat it but for someone who understand what his/her best business asset is: People !
I've been burning out. It's somewhat ironic because I've been the healthiest I've ever been mentally, but at the same time my living situation is just draining my soul. I wish I could fix it right now.
Honestly, being burnt out can at times feel like some strange form of depression. Fatigue, slow mind and body, muted emotions...a real drab.
I literally could have written this. I can't escape my living situation right now. It will be a few months until I can get my own place. How did you persevere?
Same...
I hear you ‘good bad‘. I am exhausted, drained, pooped.
I talked to my boss to change my schedule from evening to mornings and to ease the pace of work. I moved back in with my parents and they surrounded me with love, my boyfriend also, and I changed my food into more natural and local one. I could not do sport, it was just much, but walking helped me alot:). The recovery was very long, almost half a year and I wish I did not go trough that, but it was a great life experience too. Thank you for the advices. You are extraordinary! :)
I'm experiencing this since 2yrs, it's so exhausted and empty ! I even don't remember when the time I enjoyed the most and just feel myself, surrounding, being thankful and happy....I really want that life back man !
After Severe Burn Out followed by a partial recovery and burn out again I saw the habit and decided to Do Nothing until I felt up to it. Asking what is important and what I wanted to do and started doing it. feeling better but not rushing the process; a new person is emerging.
I’m right in the beginning of it and the doctor just told me ”you’re a smart girl, you should know that your problem lies in your head” .. At this moment I just need time
"In your journey from Icarus to Phoenix.
The firebird, not the city."
I appreciated the laugh. XD
I feel burnt out through leaving so many horrible situations from a young age in search of better, only to find similar horrible situations all over again. I quit alcohol over 6yrs ago, complete life overhaul improving fitness, diet, outlook. Have studied and practiced stoicism for years, always reflecting and working on myself, living truthfully, altruistic, yet still struggling at 38 and feeling strangled out by a toxic system.
I gave my all, studied at my best ability for around 7-8 weeks of my first semester at university...not only that, but I didn’t see any of my friends since uni started (lockdown because of corona). But I crashed this past week. It’s hard to even get out of bed but I still force myself...awe man, I have 3 more weeks until the winter holiday, I just have to push and push and push despite needing a break so bad
Overthinking, lack of self esteem make me burn out. But the quote from the video, help me a lot to embrace myself
I think a period of rest and self-reflection is what helped me the most, as I needed a radical change in direction. I needed sick leave to get to that point, though.
Great tips... If you're tired after a trip.
Burned out for real? Leave everything in your life. Start a new one. FIXED!
You really can not return to the cause, ever.
music is helping me through as well as setting up boundaries and keeping people from pushing me past my limit...
time alone is critical and by that I don't mean hanging out with my phone...might as well invite thousands of people into the room...so no, I spend time alone creating beautiful things...
I'm near crisis mode after accepting that I have no choice in handling some extreme family stuff....finding time for me right now is more important than I ever realized.
Thank you, Sir for the excellent advice. Well said. I now have a few more ideas to help me cope as I get through this nightmare.
Yes I have felt burnt out and I started working out and joined an online support group.
Personally I recover from a burn out by taking a few days off and just giving my body what it needs. More sleep. More fresh air. Having a good laugh. Spending time with loved ones. Journaling. Meditating.
You dont have burnout then
Yes, I had a burnout 8 years ago. As a result I quit my job and moved to another country.
I've been preparing to write my Final exams for close to a year now. What was supposed to be 5 months of intense preparation has instead turned out to be a year long and still continuing sojourn that I have no idea will end when. The exams have already been postponed 4 times and it is likely that it might happen again. Every time I've managed to push myself and gain momentum with my preparation, there's another postponement and that absolutely crushes my motivation. I've come to a point where I simply don't care about my exams anymore and if this continues, I will fail my exams whenever they happen and will effectively waste over a year's worth of hard work. I don't know how to motivate and push myself again to prepare, it just seems like too much at this point.
Prayer. Limit social media time. Take action; rest is action. But, also do not wallow in your trial.
Thank you for this. I am a business owner who has worked super hard past three years and was obsessing and always beating myself up for too long. I was always thinking too much about what could go wrong. We have a nice company and I arrived at success and hit a wall because I had neglected my personal life for so long and was under a lot of stress. I also had a back injury which didn’t help which I am almost recovered from now. Long story short I found myself being more tired and not wanting to deal with things, just needed a break and couldn’t get one. Recently I have had really bad anxiety attacks and it was all from the complete exhaustion. I am now on the road to recovering and I am making it a priority to take care of myself and reduce stress. I am changing my way of thinking. There is no need to create extra stress through worry. I know I will get back to a new and improved self, and this is going to make me stronger.
Will Henley how have you been?
I'm burnt out cuz of stress of school and failing, disappointing teachers,ect.
How do u deal with that?I can't take a vacation from school.:(
I was dealing with the same thing but at least I have winter break rn
@@arealshyunicorn same,I've been able to focus at one thing at a time. It helps. If you have anything of advice please let me know.
I feel you. I'm writing exams soon and I am so utterly exhausted from this since I have to study but also do homework and not forget about my social life all at the same time. Definitely get enough sleep!! and just try to do as much of the points he shared in this video as you can.
Yes you can!! Your body, mind and life is more importent than anything else! You can skip a year
Saaaaaaaammeee. That's why I'm looking forward to the summer holiday starting in 2 months! (I have early exams).
To hell with keeping up with classes - I'll just spend an extra semester at school then if that's what it takes to make it work! I'd rather be half or a whole year late than never finishing!
Ive worked in different jobs, hoping not to suffer a breakdown. But i can only last for around 2-4 jears then i need around 1-1,5 jears to recover at least enough to try again. At the moment its my 4. breakedown and i just dont want anymore im 40 jears old and all i want is to drop out of society. Im home since febuary 2022 and its the middle of august 2022 i dont feel recovered at all! As long as i know i will have to force myself back into some kind of job i just cant relax.
I'm currently in a burn out. While dealing with the Christmas rush in my shop and handling wholesale orders, I was staying up until 7 in the morning, getting 4 hours of sleep, and repeating. Now that it's all over I'm happily just taking time to reset my sleep schedule, reorganize my workspace, and figure out a new routine that focuses on my health as a priority :)
Wonderful Raven, good luck to you and get some rest!
Good luck, and merry x-mas :D
I have been suffering from burnout that I thought earlier as depression... it was really hard to deal with unless find out and accept that it's a burnout... it's like complete exhaustion in aspects such as mental, physical and emotional... you get overwhelmed by a lot of things and starts to hate even the smaller things... you have that feeling of dissatisfaction with the touch of being out control...and then you start becoming more and more antisocial... I tend to lock myself in my room everyday because whenever I talk to people around me, i feel really exhausted... Being burned out, I became more unproductive and unwell (health wise) which have made me realize that I have to deal with it once and for all... the first thing I did was to figure out what really did cause my burning out... I realized it was my job and the circle I am in that caused it... my job was never in tune with my capabilities no matter how easy it was and the environment in my job and in the job dorm is too hostile, hypocritical and toxic even though it was supposed to be a christian institution... seeing that I am much happier whenever I get away from that type of environment, I realized that the only thing I have to do is to quit... so I did quit my job and left... now I am on the process of healing and regaining my motivation...
Jiao Ning how are you now?
@@WildWave Wild Wave thank you for asking... I am much better now... Since I quit my job I felt a lot better, it's like I finally got rid of a thorn in my chest... Now I got a new job that really suites me well... A job that not only is healthy for me but also has the means to provide a lot of opportunities for me to grow... 😊😊😊 ... As of now I feel grateful for the things that happened (good or bad) hence I became more optimistic, focused and most of all, much happier 😊😊😊 ...
Jiao Ning glad to hear it!!
This is exactly me too. Super stressed, foggy, withdrawing, increasingly unproductive etc. Its definitely my job. Working on finding a new one. Glad it worked out for you.
Yes I am in the beginning stages of recovering from my own burnout from overstressing myself about life
Thank you, your words are such an eye opener, I’ve been having a burn out due to my work, and recently i decided to quit my job. Its time to prioritized my self, my mental health
I was born in Hungary. At 21 I decided to move to Austria for a chance of having a better life. I didnt know german at that point but I created a system in order to learn to language fast. Each day I made progress... and at one point, after being there for 2 years, i decided to go to college and study part-time business and management (german), all while working fulltime. The beginning was confusing and full of stress as i didnt understand much, but i bought the recommended books and memorized everything... Everything... On the weekdays: waking up sometimes at 5:00 am only to work until 14:00 then do the housework, cooking etc. (as i was living alone) and afternoon studying. My Fridays look like so: Wake up at 5, go to work until 12:00, go home grab some food, and then go to college until 22:00, Saturday: 8:30 - 16:30 studying... It went on for 2 years. I still have a year left, and need to write 2 Bacherlor thesis. Since then I changed work. I finally got an internship in Process Management at a big company...Everyday it takes an 1:30 hours to go to the workplace back and forth. I wake up at 5:00 and get home at around 17:00.
I think I´m burnt out. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought that its only a year... Im trying to survive this last year.
yeah, I had been burnout. I push myself to do my hobbies and made good memories with my friends. I started again to love myself and went to my childhood places to recover myself. Thanks for this video. Sir, u look good too.
Thank you. I need that change. I am so burned out.
Yes! I love all of your videos. I aspire to be an amazing speaker such as yourself someday!
Cyndi Ortiz I believe in you! 😊
That's wonderful Cyndi, continue to work hard and you will accomplish great things. Thank you for watching. :)
I am currently in burnout because of insane work processes, temperamental managers and a toxic demanding boss..not to mention the bills that I have to pay and the family that I have to support... oh god I need a long time out
Thanks you Brian Tracy! I just spoke to my boss yesterday about being burned out and I've been given 2 weeks leave. I suddenly can feel all the exhaustion coming down on me - I am going to have a lot of sleep
Exercise, but not overdo it. Nutrition is also important. Lay off sugar, fastfood and caffine. Also, find out what burned you out in the first place. A good tip is to do less at a slower tempo.
For caffeine tho, it’s hard for me bc I like the taste of it I think I’m becoming an addict to coffee now 😅 I only drink it once a day tho, for nutrition eh, it’s alright I guess for my diet, I only eat like a bowl of salad each day bc my mom made me eat it 😂
@@henrynguyen6799 A good approach to caffeine would be to ask: why do I enjoy it so much?
Is it the taste, the rush, are you hooked on how it makes you feel or the perception of it?
There's caffeine gum out there and honestly tasting that ruined my addiction to caffeine. I decided I love the taste of coffee vs caffeine, so I switched to decaff; now I can drink coffee anytime I want. including at night, and not feel bad xD
I still indulge caffeine now and then but never to the extent I did; all things in moderation as cheesy as it may sound. Caffeine isn't inherently bad, it's just something we overrely on socially; it becomes negative when we cant function without it
Inst caffeine good? It gives u energy! Can someone explain to me why its bad?
@@socialismodemocracia9366 Caffeine is a stimulant and carries risk of addiction. With addiction comes dependency on the substance to function properly as well as increasing tolerance for the dosage; too much caffeine can cause heart problems as well as possible death. Attempting to stop consuming caffeine can lead to withdrawal symptoms (all negative).
Short term: Caffeine gives a boost of energy as well as thickens the grey matter of the brain. This thickening can negatively affect memory, attention, and mood while the stuff works its way out of your system. It's not inherently bad and as far as stimulants go is very mild, but addiction to anything isn't good for the body.
I walked 8100 steps today,is anyone proud? :))
I did more exercises and visualised my life as positive to get rid of burn out.
Once I started online school I just felt exhausted I didn’t even pay attention I just scrolled on social media mindlessly. Now I’m going back to school so hopefully that will fix everything. And I’ll finally go out more. I’m starting to be more active and not be on my phone as much but it’s so hard. I really am trying but I don’t know for how long I can keep up.
Rn I’m dealing with my first ever burnout, I’m a senior in high school and my classmates and I have been incredibly demotivated since the start of the year due to our teachers lack of empathy/collaboration which lowered our grades exponentially.
I no longer feel motivated, even attempting to understand a subject has been hard. I really needed this
Thank you so much Brian! Have a great day!
I am currently burned out, having a vacation next week after 3 years of nonstop hustling. I have come to realize that what I can give and what is expected of me don't allign. Mediocricy is expected of me and it took me 3 years to realize that. It came in the form fo me doing my best to give out a great quality product that was not appreciated. I did that several times with big projects that didn't have the impact I expected and was not because of the quality but because it was "too much". In time I realized that people in the company I'm working at doesn't have the ability to appreciate it and they ask for more mindless activities from me. That's the misalignment with my values. It is hard for me to do the "bare minimum" and I've caught myself suddenly start to do more than that which ultimately will lead again to my efforts not being appreciated. So I'm trying to see how to reconcile that. thank you for the video
I've been overworking for about six months ,I didn't have a proper vocation since a very long time , now I'm burning out to a very point that even the smallest tasks that I used to fully enjoy seems very hard.
I'm so consumed that I just feel like even looking for a solution is hard.
I’ve been battling with burnout for almost 3 years now and monthly been meeting a doctor while taking meds too. I also to vacation and solo traveling to reflect. But one that helped me a lot also is listening to your videos every day and every morning, especially these days that we are just locked at home most days and there’s so many negative things happening around the world, it’s been really helpful to have a YT channel like yours that focuses on the positive aspect of life. Thank you for sharing your videos and motivations. Hope you continue to inspire more people and wishing you a healthy/ longer life.
Have you changed jobs or done any other major changes to fix the underlying root cause(s)?
@@On2thakneppz1 Hi, I didn't change job but I did change how I approach things, especially not taking things (life) too seriously. Setting time for exercise (walking) and meditation also helped too. And doing what you want. I've been better since the last time I wrote here. I'm off meds too for several months now. hope this helps you.
going through a burnout now and watching your video is very timely. Thank you.
I was burnout from pursuing a second degree that conflicted with my values and required me to be someone that I am not and read, write, think and talk about the same things over and over again. I had to admit to myself that the degree was ruining me and I took a pause from the program to clear my head and make sure that I dont want to pursue the degree. I took time to do the things that I value- e.g. getting into nature and taking care of my physical health.
There was a statement by Dale Carnegie, I believe, which was stop worrying about the things you cannot control. This is always the starting point for my burn-out recovery along with a holiday. This allows me to take half a dozen paces away from the "coal face". As once relaxed after a holiday, I find you can focus on the things you can control, once you realise what they are.
Have been burned out. Took time for me and did something fun.
A good amount of deals fell through, didn’t stop working since August.
So yeah, need a quick break & im back to it !!
Thanks
Going to s
It and piant. Change things. I won't be be back until I feel ready to, comfort everyone. Thanks my friend.
I am 19 year old indian who is working on his start up, investing more time on myself and at the same time educating myself at a very high level. Today I had a burnout. Thank you Sir Brian Tracey for clearing my mind.
I suffered from severe burnout and whilst all the methods in this video helped get me back on track I had to go on anti-depressants for 6 months to stabilise my levels again. It was worth it.
My reoccurring theme is"from ashes into flame", I care too much for others band try to help to the point I'm burnt out and exhausted. I then lose motivation to complete my own goals and have to recover then correct my path and continue. Rest and lots of sleep, being forgiving of myself for being tired and basically just do nothing and be still. That is the hardest to force myself to relax, rest and recover. I gradually return to my usual activities such as study and social interactions.
What helped me recover from burnout is getting to the root of what burned me out. A lot of advice I have received treats surface symptoms, rather than what was really causing me stress.
Thank you Sir, for not mentioning how joyfully or successful we will get if we recover from burnout because that would have been a reason for me to stress out as usual.
Thanks Brian. I took action an hour ago.
I thought that my head is completely fkd up. I was not sure if I am fine at all. After I took 3 weeks sick leave and one week vacations... I realized I am completely 100% normal and healthy. Nothing wrong with me. It's our jobs and what job requires from us today.
I have been burned out from content production for a few months now, and it sucks. It feels like you rock bottom with no chance of recovery. I mess my lines up, make dumb rookie mistakes on camera that I wouldn't otherwise with 25 years of experience in my field. Burnout recovery here we come! TY 4 the video.
Yes, I had this experience when I worked on cruise ships more than year with very short breaks. It's really terrible for mental and physical health! Be careful. Keep balance in all!
Thanks... this helped me...
I was on the edge of resigning my job due to me being fed by negative thoughts.. now that i got back on my energy and will power level i experience same things on job but it does not make me miserable
I gues i needed some reorganisation and rest to carry on...
I am currently going through a burn out I’m 23 I started working since I was 16 in the mix I started school at 18 for medical Assistant then was a medical assistant for 4 years then got a second job after the 4th year then started school and started another job I quit the job I was at for 4 year and still had 2 jobs then started school and started another job so now I had 1 job and school. I quit my job and now I’m focusing on just college… Now is the time I give myself a rest and take a step back and care for my self I am taking everything step by step
1. Avoid using Social media for long time just an hour is enough for gossip.
2. Avoid Negative news and
Unnecessary endless arguments.
3.Go outside everyday Maybe in just
near park.
4.Watch Good movies and TV Comedy shows, food shows.
5.Learn something new or do something you like it could be painting, reading, playing football with friends(or just join team if you can :)
6.Play with little kids and pets like Cat or Dog.
*try staying Relax🐌*
A very sweet and helpful video. Taking a leave of absence or vacation is very hard though when you’re a student and cannot afford to 😪
The stated goals and values of my previous employer were perfectly aligned with my own when I interviewed for the position, and this was a major factor in accepting their job offer. I turned down better offers for companies who were not as aligned with my own values. In practice the real values of the company ended up being diametrically opposed to their stated ones, which (hindsight being 20/20) should have been evident in the first few months. After four years in the company, I had an hypertension attack and a burnout. I was then made redundant on the fifth year. I have recovered from the hypertension and I'm still working on recovering from the burn out. I really should have left when it became apparent that our values and goals were incompatible.
I have just worked over 200 hours in as a chef and as the Christmas period has slowed down I have felt burned out never had it before so I’m going try rest up ready to start again in the new year as I play on the PDC development tour and that takes a lot of focus
Recently i have experienced burn out i think that was burnout what i experienced those days it took 11 months of suffering i lost myself totally
I lost my emotional capability
My reading and understanding capabilities
I also use to feel difficulty while thinking deep or concentrating
I use to feel like detached from world and all time isolated but hopefully i m recovering
Meditation helped me soo much
The same condition I am suffering from... I need help bro... Doctors are not able to understand my situation...they thinks that I am in depression...but actually I am not...Please help me 🙏
Do physical exercises daily , eat healthy and most important meditate and sleep atleast for 8 hrs
You will definitely get well soon
@@riindiapvtltd.1760 .. Hope so!!! I will recover completely from this situation soon... I started exercise and meditation... I am a good computer programmer.. But due to this weird situation I got tired soon ... I have to think deep even for a simple program... I was surprised that how somebody can become so dumb who used to be sharp minded and intelligent without any reason... I can understand ur feeling...
Like a gentle shepherd Jesus protects the flock from their enemies. He heals the sick, strengthens the weak, binds up the broken and continually watches over them. He feeds them with the strength of His presence. He is the bread of life. 🙏
Thank you Brian. I've studied your materials for years, and just tuning in is uplifting.
School burned me out of the age of 6.
Still trying to recover 🙈
I like this video because it encourages self examination rather than just give a prescriptive list of actions. everyone’s personal circumstances are different and often the cause of burnout is due to something within ourselves not aligned to the environment, or vice versa. the inner work and self examination is a key to most problems in life, burnout included.
I’m burnt out from work and was hospitalized from overexertion and dehydration, but the doctor mainly had a problem with the 90 hour work weeks and my last day off was 2 months ago.
Online teaching makes me feel burn out. Still trying to find my way out of the burn out.
Hey Brian thank you
Dear Sir,
what you said here, especially about the alignment with values and goals, struck a chord so right that it actually made me smile for the first time in a while.
Thank you for the necessary advice.
Brian, this is a wonderful video. This topic is very close to me at the present time in my life. For the last 27 years, I have been in the music industry and for the last 12 years, have ran my own professional jazz studio called Sound 81 Productions. It has been a life that has been rewarding, but has hit a time for self reflection. Recently, I have just accepted that I have reached a burnout point. It was hard to come to terms with and talking with my staff, students, and clients who I'm thankful to have passed knowledge onto and do business with was the hardest. We also become like family. I felt like a failure to them and myself. Teaching others how to build strength in their life, that they can follow their dreams and become successful, and always being the rock for others, I had lacked in my own self care. 2 years ago, I lost one of my mentors I built the studio with. From the time to now, new stress and life issues have built up to a point where what I once loved, became what I wanted to escape. I say this with humility, but I have achieved a level in my career that my work is known and expected to be at a certain level. It hasn't been where it once was because of the constant stress in the environment I am in, and people close to me have noticed and brought it to my attention. I've lived a life giving everything I have to help others achieve their dreams and have no regrets, but I feel stuck. I work with so many young people who are so excited to explore their gifts and be apart of an industry that most people dream of, and it has become difficult to keep this facade on myself that everything is ok in my life. How you described burnout and the advice you gave in this short video turned a lightbulb on. The last few weeks I have started to make plans for a change for my own wellbeing and health. Seeing this video was a sign for me and I appreciate your advice. I'd like to be around in this world for a longtime and know that I must make changes to do that, even if it is changing careers, and/or environments. I have just started my new journey to bring health and wellness back into my life and again, this video hit on everything I have been needing to hear. This is a first for me leaving a long comment on someones video. Sharing this story and typing this comment have already helped make this real and accept this burnout, that it's ok, and I can recover from it as you said. On a positive side, I have started yoga again and regular exercise, have gone back to a healthier diet I once did have, the support from friends and family have been positive, and each day I've allowed myself to be ok with this new life change. I'm only around a month in to recovery from this burnout, but hearing from people like yourself, truly inspires myself and others that it can be done. Thank you for your advice and hope you have a wonderful day.
Hi Justin, Thanks for sharing your story. I hope that you recover soon, keep up the good job.
Best, Brian.
Thank you Sir. You seem to be very generous
I didn’t really think much of how much I was struggling till I realized, this is a massive issue for me, I’ve been dealing with it for years
Well this is shockingly accurate
It's been a long time since coming in contact with your knowledge Tracey! I really appreciated this video and found it valuable.
I would have to agree that regular exercise, sleep and a healthy diet does go a long way. I think it's the foundation which supports a skyscraper. But I do remember a time when I felt like I was on the edge of burning out dispite following the 3 self care foundations. At that stage to pull myself out I completely kicked coffee out (I noticed coffee although can help me be productive also makes me slightly anxious) then pushed all my tasks through a priority filter. Focusing on only the top 3 task each day which leveraged and solve 70% of the rest of my problems.
That really helped me move from being a headless chicken running around being busy. To a calm and creative state which allow me to feel like I'm moving through my day with focus and purpose.
I am burned 🔥 out seriously 😳 I have been that way for 2 years at this point I refuse to work for anyone I am through shot, frayed and fricasseed unable to do anything for anybody not even for myself. Thank God I am loaded with money, my own house 🏡 and cars are payed for. All I need now is a really good house keeper that knows how to organize all of my precious stuff seriously 😳.
Thank you 💕
Yes I have been , I have been watching motivational videos and now as I speak I can feel myself recovering ....💪💪it's making me realise how important self believe is and investing in myself ...🙌🙌
I’m barely 17 and I’m going through burn out I’m so exhausted I just want to take some time off to refocus and think about where I’m headed- but I can’t do that sooo yeA,, great video tho! Helped me out a bit!
