Tackling Burnout
Understand what’s really causing your burnout and decide what to change next.
Useful When
- You feel constantly stressed or drained and don’t know why
- You suspect burnout but aren’t sure what’s causing it
- You feel stuck, resentful, or mentally exhausted
- You want clarity on whether you need rest, boundaries, or a mindset shift
About
Burnout isn’t just about doing too much. It often builds when stress goes unchecked, boundaries slip, or your mindset turns everyday effort into constant resistance.
This framework helps you slow down and see what’s really happening. You’ll explore what you’re avoiding, what you’re tolerating, and how you’re interpreting your situation. From there, you can decide what actually needs to change and take a small, realistic next step.
Examples
You might find this framework helpful in situations like these:
• Feeling exhausted but unsure whether you need time off or better boundaries
• Noticing growing resentment toward work or responsibilities you once enjoyed
• Feeling stressed by things that “shouldn’t” feel stressful
• Wanting to respond to stress more calmly instead of spiraling
