This YouTube video introduces a method to improve resilience and avoid burnout:
Burnout is brought on by mental and physical exhaustion. This can be brought on by living or working in a stressful situation. This can result in feeling drained of energy, mentally trapped and physically ill. Ignoring such signs can make things even worse, and the best course of action is to create a balance in life to avoid getting burnt out in the first place.
We can think about our mental and physical health as being like driving a car. When we drive a vehicle, we know we can accelerate hard or go fast for a time, but we cannot run that way for long. We must manage the strain on the engine. It is also essential to frequently refuel, and frequently check the oil and water levels. Vehicles also require servicing after a specific duration or mileage. If we then equate this to life, we can create a dashboard that helps us monitor our health and avoid burnout. The dials on this dashboard come under the headings of heart, body, mind and soul. This video explores these dials.
