Hearts Desire Coaching
|
Are you bored with your life or job? Do you find yourself wishing it was time to leave, work, but not sure why or what you were going to do when you get home? Do you ever feel that you're wasting your life, or that you'd rather be doing something else? Are you concerned with stress management and burnout? Are you getting a sense of stress at your work place and it's from management? Do you know what the stress management trends are? Would you like to know some communication skills during stress management or free stress management activity ideas? Are you familiar with workplace stress and technology?
Burnout is a steady, increasing dissatisfaction with the way things are with your life. It can range from mild boredom to a lack of interest in one's work to severe depression and physical illness. One business expert claims that 90 percent of Americans hate their jobs. The figure is probably lower among professionals, but a great number of people that I have coached, admitted that they're less than thrilled with what they are doing. Everyone has his or her ups and downs, and just because you have a rotten day now and then doesn't mean you should quit your job or go to therapy. People who are burnout, however, are unhappy almost all the time. You can't always tell when you are burnout: in many instances, people who feel unhappy or depressed are not able to pinpoint the reason. But, burnout victims often share common feelings and frames of mind. The following list of symptoms will help you determine if you're a victim of burnout. If you are, it may be time to work with a life coach.
Boredom
Every now and then we have a day when we feel we'd rather be strolling in the park than stuck with our tasks at hand. That's only natural. But, people experiencing burnout are bored almost all the time. They are turned off by what they are doing and have little enthusiasm in anything. Stress
Stress causes different symptoms in different people: nervousness, fatigue, insomnia, heartburn, headaches, stomachaches, constipation, and depression. And burnout is a stressful situation: it's not fun having to deal with problematic symptoms. So, if you feel stress and are exhibiting these symptoms, burnout could be a possible cause. Time consciousness
Do you find yourself glancing at your watch more than four times an hour? Did you ever think that an hour had gone by, but when you looked at your watch, it had only been five minutes? Does the second hand on the clock seem to move too slowly these days? When you have burnout you become extremely time conscious: using the progression of time to help you get through the day. People who enjoy their life, on the other hand, find that life is full and the day passes quickly. Difficulty concentrating
When you enjoy what you're doing, it's easy to tackle life with enthusiasm and vigor. But burnout victims have a hard time applying themselves to the tasks at hand because they find things boring and unfulfilling. If you find yourself staring at the same piece of paper for hours...or reading the same paragraph over and over...or you constantly feel drained and drowsy during the day...you may be a prime candidate for burnout. Low self-esteem
According to the American work ethic, you are what you do. So if you don't think much of what you do, you won't think much of yourself. Burnout victims can get caught in a vicious cycle of self-degradation. Because they're dissatisfied with what they do, they think what they do is a waste of time. And then they feel worthless because they think they are a failure in different aspects of their life. Withdrawn
As your self-esteem sinks lower and lower, you become overly introverted and withdrawn. You don’t socialize or communicate with people because of your feelings of inferiority. I need a change but what?
Have you ever felt like why even bother? Or maybe there has to be more to life than this. How about I would rather be doing this or that, but, I just don’t know what to do or how to go about it. These are all symptoms of burnout and they can be dealt with. As a Life Coach I work with you to change your burnout to burning up with passion and desire for life.
