Burnout isn’t just feeling tired—it’s total mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion. Whether you’re overwhelmed at work, stretched thin by caregiving, or simply exhausted from life’s pace, this guide offers practical steps to bring you back into balance.

What Is Burnout?

Burnout is a chronic state of stress that often includes:

• Physical fatigue
• Emotional depletion
• Reduced performance or motivation
• Anxiety, insomnia, or apathy

According to the World Health Organization, burnout is a legitimate occupational phenomenon. And it’s more common than we think.

Step 1: Recognize the Signs

Ignoring symptoms can lead to deeper health issues. A wellness coach can help you track patterns like:

• Chronic tiredness
• Increased irritability
• Disconnection from relationships
• Trouble sleeping

Tip: Start a mood journal to track your energy and stress levels daily.

Step 2: Get Honest About Your Stressors

You can’t heal what you don’t acknowledge. List all sources of stress—workload, family expectations, digital overwhelm—and separate what you can control from what you can’t.

Coaching Insight: A wellness coach can help you reframe your narrative and set boundaries that support healing.

Step 3: Reset With Restorative Rituals

To recover from burnout, rest must become non-negotiable. Integrate:

• Daily breathwork or mindfulness
• Gentle movement like yoga or walking
• Nourishing meals and hydration

Wellness Coach Tip: Schedule “non-negotiable self-care appointments” in your calendar.

Step 4: Rebuild With Purpose

Once you’ve stabilized your energy, focus on rebuilding with intention:

• Reconnect with passions or hobbies
• Redefine success
• Surround yourself with supportive people

Work With a Wellness Coach

A certified wellness coach provides:

• Structure and accountability
• Emotional support
• Personalized stress management tools

Whether in-person or virtual, coaching sessions can accelerate your healing and prevent relapse.
