F4M Grounded In Gratitude: Recent Episodes
Lisa Druxman
This is our last episode of the beyond burnout podcast series. First off, I’m so proud of you if you are here and listening. Many who are in real burnout can’t even get themselves to listen. So you are already making progress. My hope is not just to help you but to help you help others. If you see a fellow instructor, team mate, franchisee or client who is in a state of burnout, reach out to them. Share some of what you have learned or what you have figured out yourself. We truly are a community that lifts each other up. Ok so for our final topic, it’s my favorite one. It’s about how to add more joy into your life. So, a little sneak peak for you. I have written a new book and my hope is that it comes out in 2023. The title is still being worked out but the essence is to find the joy in living. It’s not about the pursuit of happiness because we find that it’s a moving horizon that can never be reached. It’s about finding joy now, today, in simple normally every day life. It’s about finding joy on a daily basis, not just living for weekends or for vacations. It’s about finding joy in the beautiful chaos of life.
Today’s episode to get beyond burnout is about resilience. Burnout can be prevented or reversed through cultivating resilience. As a refresher, WHO (world health organization) defines “burnout” as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that’s characterized by exhaustion or lack of energy, job-related negative or cynical feelings, and reduced effectiveness.
The good news is that psychological resilience can be learned, and research shows that people who report higher resilience are physically healthier, more productive, happier, and have closer relationships. Psychological resilience is defined by the ability to withstand, bounce back, and grow—despite downturns. Simply put it’s how we can be strong and happy even if something bad happens. Some would say its the ability to manage your energy - when you better manage your energy you build resilience and get beyond burnout.
Burnout doesn't go away on its own; rather, it will get worse unless you address the underlying issues causing it. If you ignore burnout, it will only cause you further harm down the line, so it's important that you begin recovery as soon as possible.
Welcome to our 4 party podcast series to get you beyond burnout. In the next 4 episodes, I’m going to share with you some tools to help you with what to recognize, how to change your routine, how to recharge and how to bring joy into your life.
Today we are going to talk about what to what to recognize.
