THREE STEPS OUT OF BURNOUT

#1 Recognise when you’ve reached a stage of burnout, instead of brushing aside your inability to function due to just “stress”. #2 Analyse the specific causes of burnout for your own life situation. There are systemic and individual factors that can predispose, precipitate and perpetuate burnout.

#3 The most crucial step is to take action and make lifestyle changes in accordance with the identified root causes of burnout.
