3 tips to deal with burnout, and solutions for each life path number

Do you feel over worked? Do you feel like you have no time to take a moment and breathe? If so, you may have burnout. Burnout is a real and quite damaging condition. Once you find yourself suffering from burnout, it can be difficult to turn your life around. This is why it is necessary to take steps to try and avoid burnout.

In the ever changing world we live in, we are told to work, make money, put food on the table, be there for our friends, partner, kids, family, and on and on. All this activity with no time to chill out can backfire. If you are a life path 4, 6, 8, or 1, you may have a hire chance in getting caught up in burnout than others. If you have strong Capricorn, Virgo, or Aries energy, you can use a rest. There are many ways to handle this, but we will look at three ways, and some ways that each Life Path number can chill out.

1. Set Boundaries

No matter what your profession may be, it’s important to have boundaries. You can’t be available around the clock; this is simply impossible. So, to prevent burnout, it’s critical to establish boundaries of times you will not be available. This means that you won’t be in the office or available by phone or email during these times. If you are in a management position, it might help to post these hours somewhere or adjust your email auto-reply, so people know you will answer as soon as you are available. Sometimes, you have to put relaxation or personal time on the to do list.

2. Have A Work-Life Balance

Besides just setting boundaries, you need to have time to do things that aren’t workplace-related. This means you have time for your hobbies, your family, and just doing what you love. This doesn’t have to be complicated, and it could be as simple as taking one afternoon a week to go for a walk in your favorite park. Whatever it may be, it needs to be something you want to do, and you need to put your foot down if work ever tries to interfere with your time. We all need time for self care, fun, and jumping into some hobbies.

3. Put Yourself First

Whatever could be going on at your job, if you start not to feel well or feel overwhelmed, you need to put yourself first. This means that, even if your group just started a new project, if you need a mental health day, you take one. You will be no use to your group if you begin to feel burnout and your mental abilities begin to deteriorate.

Putting yourself first is especially important when you start to feel the symptoms of an illness. Although it may be tempting to say it’s just a cold and go to work anyways, this will only make you feel worse and put yourself closer to burnout. Stay home and rest instead.

In this crazy world, we are told that putting ourselves first is selfish. Well, so what! The term “selfish” does not mean bad. When you put yourself first, make sure you are in a good flow, and clear your mind, that is when you can show up for your loved ones and work projects at your best.

De prioritizing yourself in favor of others is counter productive. You cannot be their for them in the way they may need if you are not there for yourself. If you think you can, just wait…

Overall, in this day and age, it may seem difficult to avoid the condition of burnout. But you can—as long as you remember to set boundaries, have a work-life balance, and put yourself first. And if you follow these tips, not only will you avoid the damages of burnout, but you’ll also go through life feeling less stressed as well.
