Feeling Mentally Drained?
Feeling mentally drained? You might be experiencing symptoms of burnout, a normal result of experiencing prolonged stress.
You might experience burnout when it comes time to handle responsibilities at work or at home. Extreme fatigue, decreased productivity, and cynicism can get in the way of being able to accomplish what you need to get done.
Some types of burnout, such as career burnout, may be preventable -- for example, by choosing a job we find rewarding and that offers work-life balance.
But sometimes, it may not be possible to change careers, or burnout may surface in other responsibilities (such as caregiving or parenthood) that cannot be neglected or changed.
When experiencing any type of burnout, it's important to evaluate what in your life could be causing it and if it is possible to change. When the situation causing burnout cannot be changed, it's time to amp up your self-care game to help you cope with feelings of mental exhaustion.
