In today’s fast-paced world, stress has almost become part of daily life. While a little stress can sometimes motivate us to meet deadlines or push through challenges, prolonged stress without relief can lead to something deeper—burnout.
Stress feels like being under pressure: your mind races, your body tenses, and you’re juggling multiple tasks while feeling overwhelmed. It’s usually tied to specific demands and may ease once the task or situation is resolved.
Burnout, on the other hand, is the result of prolonged, unmanaged stress. It shows up as emotional exhaustion, loss of motivation, reduced productivity, and even feelings of detachment. Unlike stress, which makes you feel too “full,” burnout often feels like being completely empty.
Signs you might be burning out:
- Constant fatigue, even after rest
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feeling detached from work or relationships
- Irritability or low mood
- Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed
Preventing and Managing Burnout
- Set boundaries: Learn to say no and protect your downtime.
- Prioritize self-care: Sleep, movement, nourishing meals, and relaxation are non-negotiable.
- Seek support: Talk to friends, mentors, or a therapist when you feel overwhelmed.
- Take breaks: Even small pauses during the day can reset your mind.
