Voici comment vous pouvez rebondir après un épuisement professionnel et retrouver votre motivation.

Throughout my work experience, I've had bouts of imposter syndrome where I feel like I don't belong and might be holding my team back from success. In response, I've doubled down on my work, putting in extra time to show folks that I'm a dedicated, hard worker willing to go the extra mile. At times, this has led to me feeling burnt out and demotivated. While it's good to be honest with ourselves about our limits and try to improve, imposter syndrome often leads to increased stress, overworking, and burnout. In these times, it's helpful to get perspective from your teammates, be honest about your feelings, and set healthy limitations so that you don't overdo it. Also, give yourself more credit, you likely care a lot and are trying hard!

The first step in bouncing back from burnout is recognizing the signs. You might feel constantly exhausted, experience frequent headaches, or notice a decline in your work performance. These are clear indicators that you need to address your mental and physical health. Pay attention to changes in your sleep patterns or mood, as these can be early warning signs. By identifying burnout early, you can take proactive steps to mitigate its effects. Self-awareness is the key, acknowledge when you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t ignore these feelings. Early recognition allows your recovery process sooner.

Recognising signs of burnout begins with feeling exhausted, no energy. Everything is an effort and draining. When these signs appear it is time to take a break to step back, to recharge To look at different angles. Evolutionary Leadership from the Heart is about staying in the flow, reading signs. Making self-evolution, self-leadership, harmony, accountability and integritysync priority.

By the time burnout manifests in more external signs - Physical Exhaustion - Lack of Sleep - Anxiety or Excessive Stress, etc It's already been at play for quite some time. Understanding that burnout starts from the inside out is important in really tackling it head on and getting back on track. Questions to ask yourself: - Are you creating healthy boundaries? - Is your work aligned with your values & principles - Are you supported by a positive environment? - Are you doing things that fuel your passion? These things will identify those internal symptoms before it gets to the other commonly known signs of burnout.

One of the biggest realisations of burn out, is your emotions. I personally suffered a great loss last year, and instead of facing and allowing myself to greive I pushed harder in my business. Burn out doesn't always happen just because you're working harder, it can also happen when your emotions are not fully accepted. The first signs to look out for are, does your business drive you crazy and you're losing the mojo!? Does it feel exhausting and tiring!? Are you emotional (teary, angry and frustrated). Soon as you see these signs just pause and reflect on what's actually going on before you make your next step.

Prioritizing your health is essential to recover from burnout and regain motivation. Start by establishing a balanced routine that includes regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and adequate sleep. Physical activity can help reduce stress levels and improve your overall mood. You must incorporate mindfulness practices such as meditation or yoga to enhance mental clarity and relaxation. Time for hobbies and activities that bring you joy and relaxation helps a lot. Regular check-ups with healthcare professionals can also help monitor your progress.

Prioritizing your health means saying YES to yourself. As a leader we can put a lot of tasks and activities before our own personal well-being. Our health is something that has to come first. Start by: - Listening to your body - Creating a good sleep schedule - Making sure you take breaks every day - Moving your body and getting exercise Just as we have to establish good habits for being productive in business and becoming good Leaders in the workplace, you have to develop the habit of prioritizing yourself so you can be effective in every area of your life.

Always. Let the mind fall into the heart. Self-awareness. Choice and wholeness to stay in harmony and energy flow. Recharging and giving. Vitality ia more than health. Movement, Breath. Meditation, Food is essential, and the relationship with body, mind, emotions. HeartConscious ness, spirit. Source and Soul. Leaders are often. Forgetting Theo Self in their role as a leader. And get lost in control and ego. Taking care of whole Self is crucial for evolutionary leaders. It is easy to get burned out and stressed.

When we build our businesses, it can be an issue where self care is avoided because you got too much to do. It's why most people go back to the safety of employment because you just know what you have to do and by when Still, on both occasions taking care of yourself is vital. Every morning I pray, spend 20 minutes doing breathwork, listening to hypnosis to regulate my nervous system and work out at the gym. Both not only improve my overall being but my productivity too.

If you don't look after yourself by not only eating healthy but also thinking healthy it will not make a difference, because you and only you understand your body needs and hence you need to be on the lookout for any minor changes you face on a day to day basis, and adjust the plans according to your own capacity. If your body needs more rest give it, it needs more energy give it a boost. No one understands your body and mind better than yourself.

Setting boundaries be it with your partner, employer or fellow employees plays a very important role. If these boundaries are set from the beginning you won't have any obligations from each other. Setting boundaries would enable you to be tasked better and also be able to create a positive mindset and work on specific tasks rather than being intertwined between different tasks if boundaries are not set. And this way it prevents you from being drained out completely and also allows you to have one focus vision and a mission for yourself to be able to cater to the needs of your own and the respective organization you are at. With your partner setting boundaries would improve communication much more and there would have mutual respect.

Setting boundaries is crucial for preventing burnout from reoccurring. Learn to say no to additional responsibilities that may overwhelm you. Clearly define your work hours and stick to them, avoiding the temptation to overwork. Communicate your limits to colleagues and family members to ensure they understand and respect your boundaries. Take regular breaks throughout your day to recharge and avoid long stretches of continuous work. A healthy work-life balance allows you to dedicate time to rest and personal interests, which is vital for sustaining long-term motivation and productivity.

I have mixed feelings about this part, as for years, not setting boundaries has been wrongfully misunderstood as commitment, ergo, creating a perverse incentive for those who unbalance their life towards more work hours (not necessarily be more productive). After having a couple of setbacks in this topic, I started to understand that you need to be more careful with little things, such as expressions you use to refer to someone who's stayed late, for example, as they tend to normalize this. Also, be intentional to identify people working overtime and understand the root causes.

Boundaries are burnout's worst enemy. However most people set them wrong. The wrong way: - Feeling guilty - Not being specific - They don't support your goals - Created from fear and not freedom The right way: - Make them clear and concise - Consider your values and principles - Align them with your goals & objectives - Be assertive and re-enforce them every day Instead of looking at boundaries as this wall of protection, think of them as your personal support system for guiding your dreams, goals, and objective as a leader in the workplace as well as outside the office.

Oohh the B word! Having boundaries can feel so confusing to most as it sounds like you need to be harsh. Actually no Having boundaries is knowing what you accept and do not accept. For example, I was asked to host monthly calls as part of my eq certification course to enhance CPD. To do this I'd need to spend more time on creating building and preparing training modules. In fact I do it already elsewhere so I don't need to repeat nor exhaust myself. Having healthy boundaries is learning to say no, to things that do not make you happy and saying yes to yourself. No matter what others say, this is your business

To truly bounce back from burnout, you need to rediscover your passion. Reflect on what originally motivated you in your career or personal pursuits. Reconnect with those elements by setting new goals that align with your interests and values. Engage in professional development opportunities to reignite your enthusiasm. Surround yourself with positive influences and mentors who inspire and support you. Experiment with new hobbies or activities that excite you, and allow yourself to explore different interests. By rekindling your passion, you’ll find renewed energy and motivation to move forward.

Passion can be as relative as the weather for people. Finding yours can be tricky, especially if you are not out of the burnout phase just yet. In my case, family will always drive what I love and what I wake up every day.

Reflect on Purpose: Reconnect with your initial motivations for becoming a leader, including personal goals and aspirations. Reflect on the impact you aim to achieve and the meaningful contributions you strive to make. Identify Rewards: Consider the aspects of your role that bring fulfillment and satisfaction, reaffirming your commitment to leadership. Acknowledge achievements and milestones that highlight your progress and growth. Revisit Core Values: Reassess your core values and principles that guide your leadership style and decision-making. Align your actions with these values to maintain authenticity and purpose in your leadership journey.

Speak to trusted friends, colleagues, and family members. They will be honest with you and remind you how amazing you are. Write out your strengths, achievements and accomplishments. Think about your zone of competence-the things that you do you're ok at Zone of excellence-things that you are really good at Zone of genius- the things that you are good at that bring you joy. That will then enable you to be the best that you can be.

Passion is indeed a driving force as a leader and leading light. And yes passion often fades when stressed or burned-out? But what is passion? What really drives us? What are our true goals? What makes our heart sing? What is our magic in leadership? Leadership is a journey. Dynamic and unfolding. We can also get burned out when we try to contol people or situations. Reassign passion and. Mission as an evolutionary leader is important. What is our passion aligned to? It it true to you? In your heart? Does it serve a higher purpose. Is our passion in harmony and integrity.? Important questions when burnout hits.

When you're recovering from burnout and trying to get motivated again, it's important to learn from what happened and adapt. Think about what caused the burnout and notice any patterns or things that made it worse. Figure out what tasks drain your energy and which ones make you feel good. Be open to changing your priorities and workload to make things better for yourself. Try out new ways of doing things or organizing your time that might help you avoid burnout in the future. Stay positive and see setbacks as chances to learn and grow. By always learning and adjusting how you do things, you can handle stress better, stay motivated, and find a healthier balance between work and life.

Improving your skills is one thing and also learning about yourself; your own motivators and drivers that have led you to the position of burnout. What beliefs are stories do you tell yourself e.g. you can't say no or that you must do everything or be all things to all people. For me, burnout came from my own thought patterns and I've had to learn that and then adapt my behaviour

Seeking support helps A mentor, a guide. A slow paced retreat Burnout is also related to mental health. What are the signs? What are the new choices to make Being vulnerable is powerful when someone listens and supports you.

Most of the time, we don't understand why some people start to feel burned out, and others don't while going through the same situations at work. The reason: a support system, either family, friends, or close networks as mentors or coaches. The tricky part is that these systems are often hidden behind the curtains of the obvious, creating a false impression that others can do more than me. Still, you just don't see that they are well supported, and if you are not, you will eventually get burned out, and you just don't know why.

When you're bouncing back from burnout and trying to get motivated again, getting support is key. Talk openly with friends, family, or coworkers you trust about how you're feeling. Share what's been tough and hear their thoughts and advice. Consider reaching out to a mentor or coach who can give you helpful tips and set achievable goals. If you need more help, talking to a counselor or therapist can be really beneficial. Surround yourself with people who lift you up and encourage you. Getting support like this can give you fresh perspectives, new strategies to beat burnout, and the energy to go after your goals again.

It's crucial to recognise you may not "bounce back" - you are more likely to need to build an entirely new "normal" for yourself instead. To begin with you may need to relearn what makes you feel good and how to take care of yourself. It is vital you intentionally seek out social connection and belonging. You may need to grieve, forgive yourself and let go of an identity you were attached to in the first place. You may also need professional help.

Bouncing back is more of than resilience. How to bounce back can also be a radical change and evolutionary leap The rubber band of resilience can also break and to kick back from burnout. Can be a total rewire To your Self. Are you up for an evolutionary leap? Embracing the unfolding Emerging to Self Not just another change

The good thing about bouncing back is that you will never be the same again. You will become wiser, and even though you can fall again, you have new tools in your toolbox.
