Formula For Burnout
Posted on July 27, 2024 by Jerry Henderson, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Need for approval > Than Capacity = BURNOUT. If our need for acceptance is driving our achievements we might be pushing ourselves beyond our capacity.
When we find that our drive for achievements is outpacing our capacity we have to start asking ourselves some serious questions.
One of the questions we can ask ourselves is why am I saying yes to things that I know are putting me over the healthy limit of my current capacity.
What is motivating the behavior that is stretching me so thin that I don’t feel like I can accomplish everything that’s on my plate?
Understanding our core motivations often leads us to the insight that we are saying yes to too many things in an attempt to prove ourselves.
We are hoping that proving ourselves will gain us the approval of others and most importantly our own approval.
We don’t have to live on the achievement treadmill we can learn to give ourselves our own approval that isn’t solely dependent on our achievements.
I am grateful you are here,
Jerry
