Here are some strategies that may help you cope with and recover from burnout:
Even working in this field for the last 27 years, I experienced burnout some years ago! Didn’t know what it was. I knew but never thought that could happen to me. I was doing what I love and was very passionate about it! But too much for the others and left me behind.
Different consequences I experienced and learned how to come out and go deep on the subject. So many people have experienced it; we are not alone.

Here are some strategies that may help you cope with and recover from burnout:
- Recognise and acknowledge burnout: It’s essential to identify and acknowledge that you are experiencing burnout. Understand that burnout is a real and valid condition that can affect anyone. By recognising it, you can take steps to address and alleviate its impact on your well-being.
- Prioritise self-care: Make self-care a top priority in your life. Focus on activities that promote relaxation, rest, and rejuvenation. Establish healthy boundaries to ensure you have time for yourself, engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, and practice stress-reducing techniques such as exercise, meditation, or spending time in nature.
- Seek support: Reach out to supportive friends, family members, or colleagues who can provide understanding and empathy. Talking about your feelings and experiences with others can help alleviate the emotional burden and provide different perspectives and insights.
- Assess and adjust your workload: Evaluate your current workload and commitments. Identify areas where you can delegate tasks, ask for help, or set realistic boundaries. Communicate your needs and limitations to supervisors or team members, and explore opportunities for more manageable work arrangements if possible.
- Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. Create designated times for relaxation, leisure activities, and quality time with loved ones. Learn to say “no” to additional responsibilities or tasks that exceed your capacity.
- Practice stress management techniques: Incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine. This may include deep breathing exercises, mindfulness meditation, journaling, or engaging in hobbies that bring you joy and relaxation. Find what works best for you and prioritise consistent practice.
- Take breaks and practice rest: Allow yourself regular breaks throughout the day, both short moments of rest and more extended periods of vacation or time off. Disconnect from work-related activities during these breaks to recharge and rejuvenate.
- Realign with your values and passions: Reflect on your values and passions and consider whether they are aligned with your current work or lifestyle. Explore ways to incorporate more of what brings you fulfillment and purpose into your life, whether through hobbies, side projects, or career adjustments.
- Seek professional help if needed: If burnout symptoms persist or significantly impact your daily life, consider seeking professional help from a therapist or counsellor who specialises in burnout and stress management. They can provide guidance, support, and additional strategies tailored to your specific situation.
Remember that recovering from burnout takes time and patience. Be kind to yourself and prioritise your well-being as you navigate through this process.
