To me being burnt out is still really wanting to do something but a big part of your mind saying, “No!” Feeling like “failed” but mentally too tired to do anything. I did do some research on it for a psychology report. It said, something like, the exceptions outweighs the rewards and that’s why people get burned out.” Something like that but up above is what burnout is to me.

Hey I also teach this (I teach therapists mindfulness skills and therapists are VERY prone to burnout) and I've found there are 2 core ideas that are game changing:

1. is Equanimity, which is not fighting against our inner experience. It's this counter-intuitive truth that resisting discomfort just leads to more inner conflict and actually amplifies the discomfort. It just creates more reactivity. Accepting discomfort and actually opening to it, welcoming the experience fully, actually reduces reactivity and makes the experience easier / smoother. Equanimity is one of the core things that we train in meditation.

2. is compassion, instead of putting up walls, or empathizing (adopting the feelings of others) actively cultivating compassion actually protects against "compassion fatigue" (empathetic burnout). The reason is you're cultivating your own energy and directing it outwards, instead of empathizing/adopting the distress of others (mirror neurons can be stressful). There are a ton of studies backing up this approach now.

Ali chickened out before getting burnt out, grt insight though 😁

[abdullahalhashem]

He did specify one way to get out of the burn out, is to have a partner, and to comparmentalize.
I don't think that is enough for the subject.

Anyone know we have any Startups that work on supporting medical students when they got burn out?

[mercedeswilkins]

The only ppl that’s going to remember the burn outs, overnight working, and stress you be having is your family and friend you neglected

My husband pulls me away from work at 5pm, but it's not really helpful because then he wants me to figure out dinner and it feels like it's just more work

No offence but Rupe looks so much like Ranveer Singh.. I like him really
