HOW TO STOP CAREER BURNOUT IN ITS TRACKS STRESSED OUT? I n the modern work world, stress is practically unavoidable. Even when you’re doing what you love and find it fulfilling, stress has a way of making itself known. It can stem from any source: family, business, technology, traffic, and so on. A lot of us end up working ourselves into mental and physical exhaustion, which compounds these stresses. We get up, work, go home, rinse, and repeat. Every day, people all over the country move one step closer to career burnout. The reason? They don’t deal with their stress. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. In an article published on Fast Company, Bryan Collins details a few ways to put the cynicism away, save your sanity, rediscover your passion, and stop burnout in its tracks. (Visit FastCompany.com/3038545 to read the whole article.) First, recognize yourself. Consider what you do every day. Look at your projects and your tasks. When you began your career, you may have been pursuing a passion, but businesses change over time. People change, goals change, colleagues move on, new managers are promoted, executives retire, and new businesses get started. With all of these changes, you may find yourself with a completely different set of responsibilities than you ever anticipated. If you’re not working on something you genuinely care about or are invested in, then you will eventually burn out. Refocus your efforts and recognize what it is you love doing. If you no longer have time to work on projects you care about, then make the time. If you need to shuffle things around so you can contribute in a way that makes you happy, then do it. Discuss reorganizing or delegating tasks and take charge of your workflow. Just remember to take it one step at a time. Make it a goal to find time every day to work on what you love, even if it’s just for an hour. That hour will make a world of difference in your state of mind. This line of thinking comes directly from psychologist Abraham Maslow (of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs). When you express yourself in a meaningful way – when you do what you love — you’re happy! You’ve achieved self-actualization, and that helps you to avoid burnout.

“Start With Why” teaches readers how to go about discovering their “why,” then instructs them how to effectively use that information to help their business. It also helps them unleash their business’s vast potential that has remained untapped until now.
