Silent Burnout at Work: Psychologist Reveals 10 Hidden Signs Draining Your Energy
5 months ago | 5 Views
Not all cases of burnout are clear. It doesn't only have an impact on those who despise their work. Indeed, studies demonstrate that those who are enthusiastic about their job may be more susceptible to burnout. This is because they have a tendency to put everything into their work and disregard the warning signs of stress.
Some less obvious burnout triggers, which are frequently overlooked, were shared with HT Lifestyle by Lavleen Kaur, the head dietician and founder of the holistic health and healing business Santushti, and Saloni Chawla, a counseling psychologist and mind coach.
1. Always being "on"
You may be in overdrive if you have a hard time unwinding, feel guilty during breaks, or think you must be productive at all times. This continuous state of readiness depletes energy.
2. Emotional numbness
You carry out your responsibilities and attend meetings, but you have the impression that your emotions are numb or that you are disconnected. This is a typical indication of burnout in its early stages.

3. lengthy trips to work
Spending hours in traffic every day might gradually increase your stress levels, leaving you weary both before and after work.
4. Small stressors
Little things like unclear instructions, poor communication, and last-minute adjustments might not seem like much, but they add up over time and wear you out.
5. Act like everything is okay
When mental health is discussed at work, some employees may feel compelled to smile and maintain composure, even when they are not. This emotional masking raises stress levels.
6. There are no limits between work and life.
Answering texts or emails after business hours might give the impression that your workday never ends, regardless of whether you work from home or at the workplace.
7. Overwork and perfectionism
Productive employees are frequently given more tasks. The demand for excellence that perfectionists place on themselves causes stress and fatigue.

8. excessively thinking about work
Continually wondering if your work is adequate might cause your mind to feel weary even before the day is over.
9. Neglecting one's own well-being
Delaying meals, sleep, physical activity, or leisure with the thought of "I'll rest later" might be detrimental to your health.
10. The impact of personal stress on one's job
Your attention and energy at work may be impacted by unresolved issues in your relationships or at home.
What are your options?
Although burnout develops gradually, minor adjustments may help in its early management.
● Every 90 minutes, take a little break during the day.
●Make sure to hydrate properly and consume healthy meals at regular intervals.
● Establish a certain time to sign out of work.
●Daily exercise, even a short walk, is beneficial.
● Establish a regular bedtime schedule.
● Speak with someone you can rely on.
● Engage in brief mindfulness practices or deep breathing exercises.
For genuine rehabilitation, it's crucial to maintain a balanced diet, get enough sleep, engage in conscious movement, and take planned breaks throughout the day, Lavleen advises. It is not a privilege to pay attention to your body and mind. It's the first step towards maintaining a healthy, joyful, and productive life.
