Burnout
Burnout is a deep exhaustion caused by chronic stress or overwork, leaving you drained, cynical and emotionally detached from things you once cared about.
Burnout is more than an ordinary tired. It is the deep, bone level exhaustion that builds when stress and overwork go on without enough rest. You might feel drained no matter how much you sleep, oddly cynical about things you once loved, and strangely detached, as though you are running on empty and just going through the motions.
It is a signal to slow down, not a personal failing:
- Give yourself real, unapologetic rest
- Set boundaries around your time and energy
Recovery takes gentleness and patience, so please be tender with yourself as you heal. A slower, calmer pace of life is powerful medicine here. For a soothing way forward, spend time with our gentle guide to slow living.
