At a time when both layoffs and โ€œquiet quittingโ€ are in the mainstream, swimming in both directions may cause people to sustain work levels that are beyond healthy over time. Burnout can also have ripple effects into our personal and family relationships.

Because it is their nature to jump into problem-solving mode or helping others, these individuals may take on more work and responsibility exacerbating their stress and overwhelm.

One way to avoid excessive involvement on othersโ€™ problems is to focus on your own identity and energizing activities that recharge you like family, volunteering, or hobbies. Shifting the overabundance of commitment onto your own life may provide #healing.

This occurs from doing too little work that is challenging, inspiring, or motivating. Chronic underutilization occurs when your abilities, talents, or interests exceed learning, growth opportunities, or professional development.  Work becomes stagnant.

Developing a plan with a manager to job craft your position with small changes may allow you to spend more time on those activities that light you up and are intrinsically motivating.

Neglect burnout can occur in the face of challenges that make one feel helpless. Creating a sense of emotional empowerment or boundaries can help you to put healthier limits in place. An opportunity to speak to a supervisor to address priorities could help make the best use of your time and energy at work.

Focus on those aspects of your life that you can control such as routines for a walk, journaling, or other self-care routine to bring some predictability.
