Burnout is a reaction to prolonged or chronic job stress and is characterized by three main dimensions: exhaustion, cynicism (less identification with the job), and feelings of reduced professional ability. - source I've experienced burnout at a job before. I just got to a point where I would attend meetings with my eyes glazed over,…
The trouble with people who are over-eager is that we are often over-everything. We are over-thinkers, we are over-dramatic, we over-romanticize, we are overwhelmed. So getting too excited about things just comes with the territory. Because one small possibility opens up so many doors for us. We non stop think about how this could work…
Some people can really take stress. Some people really can't. And then there's me who pretends that I can take it and then my body starts falling to pieces because my bad mental health starts to leak into my bad physical health. I can't really see it coming. Like I know that I've been having…
If you read my word for 2020, you'll know I've decided to assign the word "acceptance" to this year. It's something I've been think about a lot lately, I even wrote about it a little bit in my resisting happiness post. If there's one thing I could wish for myself, it would be the ability…
