What to do with job burnout feelings

If you are reading this page, chances are, you have job burnout. It’s not that you don’t already know you’re burnt out; it’s just that you looking for some “excuse” or “reason” to finally leave your job.

Well, if what you need is permission to follow your gut, then by no means, do so. No one else can tell you whether or not it’s time to leave or change your current position; however, your feelings and intuition can do that job for you.

Many times, what a person needs is a breath of fresh air to get the momentum going again, and staying in the current position, whether it be the job itself or the feelings you are having about this job, will not give you the energy you need to feel “alive” again.

The longer you stay in an unrewarding place, the longer it will take to get out of the job burnout mode. However, the sooner you take action, the sooner you’ll have that energy to feel motivated, inspired, and determined to live fully and happily.

It’s amazing that so many people are afraid of taking risks. However, the ironic thing about this is, these same people are taking a risk with their health, happiness, and freedom by allowing themselves to stay imprisoned in a stressful, uninspiring environment.

I know this because I have been there many times before. I have been this person stuck in the grind of working for other people rather than for myself, and in my opinion, this is when job burnout begins…when you stop living and working for yourself and start trying to please everyone else.

There comes a time and a place when you need to come first. Your health, your happiness, and your destiny are in your hands.

If you do not take control of this yourself, others will take control, meaning you’ll give them permission to drain you of your emotional, mental and financial assets, which in my opinion is a disaster waiting to happen!

Overall, what I am saying to all of those people who are experiencing job burnout is.. pay attention to your feelings and put yourself first.

If you are tired of your job, it’s time to look elsewhere. If you are tired of your burnt out feelings, it’s time to do something about these feelings.

I know it can be difficult to put yourself first when there are bills to pay, but what you are feeling is fear, and fear will eventually loosen up once you take action.

After you take action, the fear will turn into pride and self-respect, and you’ll question why you didn’t face these burnt out feelings sooner.
