As a conflict resolution consultant and accountability coach I help my clients reduce conflict in the workplace to improve their working condition.
I have a question for you… Can you think of a reason why burnout is good? The answer is…it’s time for a change!
I would rather burn out a few times in my life than rust out…which is constant boredom. Why do we wait until our doctor tells us that we need to make changes because our health is being compromised?
If you are experiencing burnout, talk to your boss about realistic expectations. It helps if you have a solution and not just complaints about your job stress. Remember… whose life is it anyway?
You hear a message that I use every time I sign off from these articles… “You get what you tolerate!”
The following stories are about people who were experiencing burnout. They decided that it was time for a change after attending some of my programs:
- Betty who owns a housekeeping company did not take a vacation in 14 years. She did not want to let her clients down. She realized that this needed to change since she was experiencing a serious case of burnout.
- A Manager of restaurant started to cry during my program. She realized how she put her job before her own needs and decided to make a change.
- A mental health professional promised his family that he will be home by 8pm instead of sleeping in the hospital.
All of these people set boundaries and are living a more fulfilled life. Remember that the good news about burn out… It is time for a change.
I have a question for you: What do you need to do to help you or your employees reduce burnout?
I hope that these new facts about stress will help you make some changes in your own life. My next article will deal with the value of constant improvement to improve morale.
Until next time, This is Joyce Weiss and remember, “You get what you tolerate!”
