I hear so many people talk about feeling exhausted and having low motivation within their daily lives. Simple, daily activities feel like such a struggle. I think it’s also very common for most people to feel like they are the problem and that maybe they are just lazy or there’s something wrong with them. This isn’t true. We live in a culture where burnout behaviours are encouraged, celebrated and sometimes quietly expected.

Recognizing and accepting that your job isn't the problem. Ooof. This is tough. It's so easy to blame our job, our boss, or the company we work for for how burnt out we're feeling. The complaints of not having enough hours in the day to do our jobs well because our plates have become so overloaded. Feelings of frustration because the job is taking so much of our time and energy, and we feel like we aren't able to do the activities outside of work that we want to do.
