Looking up at a mountain of tasks and projects… Let life happen at your own pace – But never stop. Persist until you Succeed
3 Signs of Feeling Burned Out – Motivational Monday
Burnout is described as “in a state of physical or mental collapse caused by overwork or stress”. We’ve all been there at one point or another, where you start to feel drained and dissatisfied with your daily existence. There’s so much going on, so many projects and tasks that need to be completed, so much progress you could be making, and there are issues at home… Just the perfect storm of stressful topics to make you feel small and inadequate. If this is something you’ve experienced or you feel like right now, my friend, you may be experiencing burnout.
I wanted to make a quick list of signs you should be looking for – indicators that you need to take action!
- Simple tasks become a grind
There is an email that needs to be sent, a form to be filled out, or a meeting to attend that becomes MONUMENTAL. It’s a struggle to type out a 300 letter email, or you can’t put information together for the meeting.
SOLUTION: Meet with your peers and prioritize. This is an amazing way to communicate that you may be overloaded. Having
- Exhausted and Distracted
When the workday ends, and home life begins, you may be so tired or worn out that you don’t enjoy your free time. Instead of spending enjoying quality time with family or even doing chores, it’s easier to lie around the house and think “What’s the point”
SOLUTION: Unplug. When your day ends, your working mind ends. Instead of sitting on the couch dreading the sunrise, wake up early and enjoy it. My point is, get some good sleep, relax, and get out of the misery. It can be difficult, but like all things, the first steps are the worst. After that, it only gets better.
- Negative Self-Worth
You may have a meeting or a task coming up in the next few hours that you do not feel prepared for. In some cases, you may not even feel qualified to sit with your peers. Quality work begins to give way to feelings of self-doubt.
SOLUTION: Take a step back and acknowledge this FACT: You made it to your station because of the great things you have produced. You are in these meetings, you have better responsibilities because you have proven to be a go-to person and you can continue to do so.
Don’t let burnout make you dread another beautiful day on this planet. Take steps now to address your discontent.

If your life was on the big screen… Would you stay and watch?
Feeling Fulfillment – Motivational Monday
I had a member of my team come to me last week and say…
“I can’t do this anymore, I’m overwhelmed and I don’t feel like I can perform my tasks anymore, I quit.”
Of course, a good leader is going not going to just watch teammates walk away. Especially when they know that the member is doing a great job, things can just be more difficult and they need reassurance of their position in the team.
We met for coffee and we talked about it. He was having a hard time putting his dissatisfaction into words. He said he was overwhelmed, that it felt like he was not making an impact on the team and he didn’t belong anymore.
We went over the usual workday process, found key points where he was struggling, and we addressed them accordingly.
My goal was to investigate why he was overwhelmed and where we could find balance.
Many times overwhelm is just an excuse for something much deeper.
Having fulfillment is… satisfaction in any situation. During massive growth or slowdowns, successful sales or failing a few times, having tasks that we don’t know how to do and the challenge of overcoming them, and pairing all of that with our daily lives.
I can’t blame him! Being on a high-performance team in one of the worlds largest sales organizations can definitely be overwhelming! But if you have Fulfillment… If you love the process, if it brings you joy to build a business and see the effects on other peoples lives… If you can take a step back from the massive todo list and take a look at the massive forest instead of just the biggest trees… You’ve grown a damn forest!
You’ve created processes that didn’t exist before you! Or you didn’t have the skill necessary to complete a task but now you do, and all of it was done to help an organization and build your own personal fulfillment in work and in life…
Being overwhelmed is definitely a symptom that needs to be addressed… but your longevity, your gratitude for waking up and having that opportunity needs to always be reinforced and never taken for granted.
This is a video by Simon Sinek. It’s geared towards millennials, but I see it as something that can affect us all. It really shines a light on having that fulfillment and how important even the smallest details in our lives can be.
P.S. Our overwhelmed friend had a few days off, and he’s back in the saddle doing the amazing work he is known to do.
