When The Luster Is Lost [With BURNOUT]

When The Luster Is Lost [With BURNOUT]

Way back my very first job with the Multinational SHELL Group, my Dutch boss admitted not extending his term [which was his option] in his cross-posting assignment at that time due to 'BURNOUT', that term introduced by Dr Herbert Freudenberger.  As defined, BURNOUT equates to exhaustion, detachment, paranoia and sometimes depression.  That's When The Luster Is Lost [which often happens unnoticed]📌📌📌

The results of Dr Freudenberger's studies proved that while most of his premium clients had once pursued life with vigor, excitement and optimism, over time, their passion had been DULLED, in some cases, killed by what he called a 'DEMON BORN OF THE SOCIETY AND TIMES WE LIVE IN'.  The results showed that his clients manifested disengagement, disenchantment and being uninvolved even when surrounded by family and friends.  They began to view their jobs as draining and unrewarding💊💊💊

For many, life seemed to have LOST ITS MEANING.  Sounds familar?  It should.  Sadly, the world we live in today is that similar.  That recent pandemic, financial woes, health issues, endless stress, all these are taking its heavy toll on the minds and bodies of our best and brightest💎💎💎

So, where do we start?  Let's develop an ability to pre-empt and detect how BURNOUT stems out from nowhere.  Apparently, BURNOUT is a chronic condition, something a person has been working toward over a period of weeks, months or years.  Now, the burning question, who will most likely fall prey to BURNOUT?  Sadly, studies show that the most prone are, IRONICALLY, decent individuals who have striven hard to reach a goal✅✅✅

Lifting from the studies, the most common symptoms to BURNOUT include exhaustion , detachment and boredom that is bordering on cynicism.  Topping the list includes impatience, heightened irritability, a sense of OMNIPOTENCE, and that constant suspicion of being unappreciated.  So what's our FIXes?  First off, be sharp enough to detect that you seem to be in that direction of BURNOUT.  Next off, be Xtra of all possible manifestations.  And at the core of things. reassess your situation and craft an ACTION PLAN, even if that may end up to be a drastic one [as long as it fixes your BURNOUT]❗❗❗
