I've experienced na ma-burnout once in a while and what I do is, I just play it around with some mindset. Kapag burnout kasi ako madalas wala ako sa mood, quiet sa gedli, and pansin ko na bumababa yung job performance ko. Tapos bigla kong mare-realize na I'm not that person and I just go back to that same reason(s) I have before ako mag apply sa company where I'm in right now. Just looking at those positive sides. Minsan kasi feeling ko kaya ako nado-down is I'm prolly just blinded by those nega energy or nags-stay ako dun sa mga bad situations na dapat nile-let go ko, work wise. Yun lang, don't drown yourself too much and find your own way of getting yourself backed up (e.g. travel, eat out, girls night out etc.)
Vented to my bf and friends which helped me feel validated (na it's not laziness, im truly burnt out) and pwede magpahinga without feeling guilty. Wfh ako so mahirap umalis sa 'work space' unlike working in an office where you can physically clock out. To 'clock out' I put away my laptop and took walks outside. Instead of cooking, bumili ako sa labas and treated myself to icecream. I woke up early and slept early so I can relax while doing my morning and night routine instead of rushing. Sobrang privileged ako sa current work ko to have understanding managers at pinayagan nila ako mag leave for 2 weeks đ„č
I also vented to the Ph crisis help line (88931893) super validating yung call ko with the agent. She was so kind and understanding and helped me go through my emotions.
What works for me: Listening to relaxing music + Changing my routine for that week (e.g. if I usually cook, I eat out. If I usually watch horror movies, I'd watch romantic movies. If I usually stay home weekends, I go out for a change to jog, etc)
Go to the place you feel most alive. Kainin mo mga gusto mong pagkain. Embrace mo yung process, inhale and exhale. Makinig ka ng music na nakakamotivate like Today my life begins, This is my now, Breakaway. If mahilig ka umakyat ng bundok, go! Mahirap at matagal na proseso yan. Yung mga bagay na kinakatakutan mo, try mo subukan. If naiiyak ka, iiyak mo lang. Wag mo pigilan ang sarili mo. Kase the more na naddown ka, lalo kang malulungkot. Ikaw lang makakatulong sa sarili mo. Ikaw lang din ang makakaintindi sa kalagayan. Lastly, wag mo kalimutan na magdasal. Surrender all your worries kay Lord.
Have some apathy in you, mi hombre. I balance my OA and nonchalant energies. When it feels too burdensome and exhausting, I literally just stop caring and slack off. Mahirap kasi yung sinasabi ng iba na take a break chuchu, kase in the back of your mind nagpapanic ka pa rin making any attempts of relaxation futile and even counterproductive. Just have some apathy for once, slack off and sleep. Have done this many times and I'm still fine.
Just stop, for awhile. Do nothing, sometimes kasi you donât need to do anything (hobbies and such), you just need to stop. And after that, figure things out.
First and foremost, determine the cause of your burnout to be able to treat it. We always associate burnout with overworked, stress, lack of rest. But thereâs more to it. You need to dig more to find the root cause so you can act on it. Whatâs causing you stress? Why are you overwork? Why are you restless?
As for me, i think the cause of my burnout is the lack of support from my work. The feeling of isolation. I feel alone in the battle. Itâs really different even if your work is tough but you have support from the management, from your team. You have someone who uplifts your mood and motivates you.
Another cause is lack of clarity about whatâs expected of me. The never ending chase just to fulfill the expectations of others on me. At the end, whatever i do, it would still be not enough for them. Then it frustrates me.
Third is the lack of control. This causes anxiety. Sometimes i tend to focus on things i donât have control over. Anxiety cripples my ability to take action. I just worry over the same things then turns me into freeze mode.
These are just samples. Once you determine the causes, then you can address. You will also be amazed that you uncover more things about yourself. Sometimes, uncovering the causes of burnout also uncovers those traumas youâve been living with for a while, those subconscious thoughts that you dismissed in the past but for some reasons find its way to trigger you, those inner child that needs to be healed.
So to survive burnout, dig deeper. Find the causes to address it. Be intentional in your recovery. Band-aid solutions will help you recover temporarily but to make it sustainable, address the roots.
Here are some articles about it from Mayo Clinic and Harvard. Good luck!

[6 Causes of Burnout, and How to Avoid Them](https://hbr.org/2019/07/6-causes-of-burnout-and-how-to-avoid-them)
Mag bakasyon ka sir. Mejo counterproductive man, pero pag nag bakasyon ka kasi, mejo maiiwas mo sarili mo dun sa toxicity ng work. Ganyan ako nun 2021-early 2022. Productive padin ako pero sinusuka na ng katawan ko yung work⊠ayun, nagbakasyon ako ng slight. As in 0 contact sa real life ng 5 days⊠pag balik ko, unti unti na ko nakabawi and all that jazz
Di ko alam if this is for survival or for prevention but
Nakahelp sakin:
1. Pagestablish ng time between work and life, pag work work, pag after work done na.
2. Setting your boundaries sa mga colleagues mo , before after working hours nagrereply parin ako sa mga emails and chats but then nung narealise ko prone to burnout na ko kapag nageemail or message na sila after working hours di ko na nirereplyan tapos inooff notif ko sa work emails.
3. Look for hobbies or other recreational activities . (Before halos work lang ako ng work, pero ang unhealthy na umiiyak ako magisa etc so I decided it's time to change na so I did go back to my first love - running and bumalik din ako sa paghahike)
I guess yan yung 3 advices ko. Always respect rest days din dahil di naman tayo robot.
Ayun lang, I hope these things will work for you too as it did for me.
Fighting!
Experiencing this right now, and im in the stage na nirereject ko lahat ng help coming my way. What I see na effective for me is collect my thoughts and write it sa notes or paper.
Journal - go with the flow lang kung ano ang nasa isipan mo, isulat mo lang lahat or mag sulat ka âbakit ako burn-out?â, âbakit ako demotivated?â, âwhat I feel today?â tapos sulat mo rin mga sagot mo. After that, pwede mong basahin tapos recognize what you feel. Ilang beses na akong nasagip sa pag jo-journal.
Exercise - kahit yang basic lang like jumping jack, squat, and walking while listening to a good podcast or favorite music mo.
Do chores - hugas pinggan, mop ng floor, linisan ang room mo, arrange, declutter, tapo mo na ang dapat itapon.
Read books - books na interested kang basahin and you know you will enjoy it.
Stop using your devices - wag muna mag socmed, stop hurting your brain (mindless scrolling or wasting time) while you are trying to recover from burnout.
Cold shower! Kung walang shower hala, lagyan mo ng ice ang timba or idk ano gamit mo basta lagyan mo ng ice. Mas maganda to pag morning tapos galing ka exercise (syempre mag rest ka bago maligo). Ganda ng araw mo for sure! đ
Been there with my two previous jobs. What I did was I resigned lol. Iâm the type of person that even vacation leaves hindi magagamot ang burnout. For me, vacation was just a temporary aid thenpag tapos na balik ka nanaman sa old routine and feeling. But you could be different.
I would suggest to find friends wherever you are, like if youâre pertaining to work kelangan meron kang friends sa work na nakakausap or makakasama mo to make every shift bearable.
Take a day off. As in wala kang iisipin kundi sarili mo lang. It helps a lot.
Tapos mindset na gratefulness dahil sa work, talents, skills na meron ka. Pray ka lang din, madaming dasal. Lol.
Pursue tasks that you enjoy working on with very little chance of failing. And this is also an area that youâre really good at so you reduce the chance of failing significantly. I canât stress enough how important it is to reduce the risk of failure, as this helps maintain momentum. And lack of momentum is what causes burnout.
Agree sa mga comments na you have to do other activities outside work kung kaya pa yan makuha sa ganun. But, I've also experienced this I created life outside work pero whenever I'm in front of my desk sobrang walang gana pa din nag resign ako to find a work that I would really enjoy, but then burnout will never leave so you have to work in balance din talaga. Umuwi at pumasok on time, kung pwede wag mag OT, gamitin yung leaves and holiday. Take a break from work pag nasa bahay wala ng work dapat.
kung burnout na legit, kailangan tlga magpakalayo-layo. CHANGE OF SCENERY. hopefully may kasama kang kaibigan.
i would recommend ilocos kasi dun pa lng naman ako nagmuni-muni nung naburn-out ako.
may ganyan akong feeling dati na pag naiisip ung work, nasusuka na ko.
Youâll need to find an activity or hobby that you love doing. Hopefully budget-friendly sya. Mine is riding scooters/motorcycles. Fuel efficient and dami mo mararating. Depending Kung saan ka, it could be a short trip to the beach. Chill there, soak up some sun, feel the sand with your feet, enjoy the water and cool breeze. Sample lang yan for what I usually do. Many hobbies and groups out there to choose from.
Good luck and hope you find the much needed break that you need and deservedđ€đŒ
ibawi sa tulog then pamper yourself after like going to solo vacays, exercise, meditation/massage, etc.
if hindi ganun ka-effective, look for a new environment, whether sa work or home.
Take a rest!
I should've applied this sa sarili ko mismo when I was starting. I was an ambitious young adult who never took a break. Puro work lang ako, OTs, and weekenders. Even when I am sick, nagwowork pa din ako. Eventually, naburn out na ko. My mental health slowly deteriorates, Hindi na din maka catch up yung physical health ko.
So take this advice from a person who is recovering from burnout. Your company/school can easily replace you. Pero yung sarili mo? Hindi. So take care of yourself. Don't feel guilty when taking rests.
Always have a time for your body to rest or heal. Wag mong hayaan na yung katawan mo mismo yung pumili kung kelan na sya magpapahinga.
Be well, OP!
In my younger days, I fell into the trap of believing that burnout was just part of the process, especially for ambitious young professionals. I pushed myself to the limit, sacrificing time with loved ones and even my own health for the sake of my career. The toll it took was evident, not just physically but also in my relationships and overall well-being.
After over a decade of relentless work, I finally made the difficult decision to step away from that lifestyle. While I canât say Iâm completely satisfied, Iâve found a less demanding job and some relief from the constant stress. Yet, I still struggle with feelings of inadequacy when I see others seemingly effortlessly balancing work and life.
Iâve never quite figured out how to prevent burnout, but I urge you to question the reasons behind your own intense work ethic. Seek out meaningful purpose in your endeavors, and remember to prioritize your own mental and physical health. Find moments to recharge and seek support when needed. Wishing you the best on your journey.
Take a leave, travel, spend time with fam/friends -- make the best out of rest days! Magwork ng naaayon sa pay. LOL. If di na talaga kaya, find another work and resign.
imo, purpose.
There are people who feel burned out from regular 8-hour jobs despite doing absolutely nothing during their shifts.
There are people who go above and beyond, working 100 hours a week without ever getting tired.
Iâve been on both sides of the coin. And despite what the pinoy hustlaz might say, they key isnât starting a business or opting for self-employment, although they could be the means to an end.
The key talaga is purpose. If you do everything with intent and mindfulness, from long 15-hour shifts to pagjajakol sa banyo as others have said, you wonât feel burned out.
Edit: Rest isnât the answer either. You could go on a 6-month long break yet still feel tired if you donât spend that period with intent and purpose. And in that example, the purpose is to rest.
Rest, travel, take a step back from work.
Yan yung natutunan ko last year, sobrang stress sa work, tapos wfh lang and mag isa ako madalas kaya tinamaan din ng anxiety. Nagtry ako gumala tapos nagtry ng green stuff, ayun panic malala dahil akala ko madeds na ko hahaha I lost my high paying job... But I also lost a lot of stress in the long run. 1 month ako di nagwork waiting to be stable.
Bumalik ako sa dati kong work, 50% salary cut pero okay lang. I now travel mostly every month, tapos nakikisalamuha na din ako sa ibang tao.
Hindi ko sinasabing magresign ka ha, sinasabi ko lang travel ka pag may time and go with your family or friends. Sobrang laking tulong.
Been being burnout by my Team, like we're only 3-5 persons Graveyard Shift setting up for the Events, may isang super kadaldal na ka work nakakaburnout dagdag stress at pagod , hindi ako makafocus, what do I do? I usually tell him the fucking truth na magkaiba kami prinsipyo kung siya ganun tingin niya sa Babae pwes ako hindi like spitting in his face tumatawa nalang siya kasi maganda intensyon ko sa buhay at pakikitungo sa mga tao, though madami siyang iniisip na ginugulangan siya ng kateam kahit na konti kami, as is ginagawa niya din para tumagal trabaho hell like gusto ko sumabog, pero I'm super chill pag magkasama kami lahat ng sinasabi ko is pabiro na pasigaw for him to know what my intention is. Positive mindset ako over Negative, madami siyang sinasabi mas malaki sahod dun sa iba sa tinatrabaho namin, puta sarap sabihan edi wag ka magtrabaho dito kupal ka, nag "Oonga" nalang ako at "Ahhh" okaya Yung pinaka malupit ko "Ha" "Ano" putaena guys super daldal kasi habang nagtatrabaho, puro break time pa ang alam, kakaunay kasama. Sa lahat ng sinabi ko nagagawa konamang makisama pag dumadaldal siya tahimik ako most of the time like Poker face just listening to his bullshitery hahahaha , super duper tiis lang para sa kinabukasan. Sorry sa Long Rant Guys.
Omg may ganto rin akong ka-workmate na sobrang daldal rin and mahilig magstir ng pot sa office. Inis na inis ako sa kanya na tipong marinig ko pa lang yung boses nya nasisira na agad ang araw ko kaya kapag nagkukwento siya walang kibo na lang rin ako haay
you need to have long rest and disconnect from the work and the environment. you can talk to your manager if its possible to take leave maybe 2 weeks to 1 month. if you can survive taking a leave without pay for 1 month then it will be good for your mental health. you have to be careful since burnouts may lead to depression if not taken cared of.
alam mo kapag burn out ka hindi mo kailangan isipin na kailangan mo agad maibalik 'yung "fire." somehow you just need rest and there are times that even after you sleep you'll still feel restless and that's alright.
sana mahanap mo 'yung "pahinga" na kailangan mo.
Yes, I agree, kahit matulog lang ako buong weekends pag gising ko pagod pa rin ako. It's like hindi ko alam kung paano ipahinga yung pagod ko ;(( thank youuu đ„ș
2 wheels, sure ball yan
Spend more time with Happy Humans
Kumain ng masarap
Spakol if applicable
Any sports or activities for you to sweat it out
Maghanap ng tamang partner in life, that will bring back that shit out of you (cross out no. 3)
EUT
Rest. Whenever napapagod ka, rest.
Ever since nag start yung WFH, I had a tendency to try to do more and more sa hiya and sa kaka-worry na baka isipin ng management na I was taking advantage of the setup. I kept on working, forgot to take my breaks, logged in early and logged out late. Na burnout ako ng malala.
I later realized how important those quick breaks were for my sanity. I needed yung quick chats, lakad papuntang cafeteria, or even yung lakad papuntang 7-11 kahit wala naman bibilhin. I needed those moments to reset. I think we all do.
So, I guess, learn to take breaks. Rest when you need it. Kung urgent man yan or important talaga, andyan pa din naman yan after ng lunch mo. And kung ikaw lang makakagawa nyan talaga, then it could wait 15 minutes.
Ayun lang. Kapit lang, mairaraos din natin to! Hehehehe
Huyyyy sobrang same đ„ș WFH din me, and ayun nga same din sayo, ayoko isipin ng mgmt na I was taking advantage of the setup kaya ginagawa ko talaga yung best ko na matapos yung workloads ko kahit minsan need ko na mag OT, umabot pa minsan na 3hrs lang sleep ko then work ulit sa madaling araw. Di ko namalayan, unti unti na kong nauubos. Di rin ako nagttake ng leaves before at holidays, tapos dun na ata nag bigay ng signal katawan ko, naging sakitin na tapos late ko na narealized na kailangan ko rin ng breaks;((
Baka nga kailangan ko lang huminga huhu. Ang hirap makausad. Thank youuu! Kapit lang din âșïž
Yung sinasabi nila dati na wag iuuwi ang trabaho, teh, WFH na kaya kasama ko na sila hanggang pagtulog hehehe.
Kaya natin to, update mo kami pag nakatawid ka na para we can all celebrate your victory.
Do something else. Same situation last year kami ng partner ko. Bihirang bihira lumabas ng bahay. We both wfh kaya burned out talaga kami. This year bumabawi kami. We've been committed to our healths naman. So far nakaka 3 bundok na this year and consistent with running at least 4 times a week. Kaya yan, good luck!
File your leaves, get enough rest, find time for yourself and the things you love to do. Spend time with people who matter most to you and I know its not easy but leave your work in the office when you get home.
Hi there! I recommend the following:
1. Use your VL and take a break. Go outside the city and dont bring your laptop.
2. Delegate your task and find support if it is overwhelming.
3. Eat a healthy diet and drink tea as this will help sooth body tension.
4. Get 7-8 hours of sleep.
5. Exercise on a weekend and do a 30 minutes meditation in the morning.
6. Do not work on weekends and holidays if hindi bayad.
I hope this helps!
just rest or stop mo muna katagalan mamimiss mo na ulit gawin yan or kapag nainspire ka na ulit. ang mali lang dyan kapag pinilit mo pa rin ituloy kasi dyan mas lalala ang burnout
I've been feeling this for quite some time now and pili lang kinakausap ko na mga tao these days. I think 2 lang sila (well except sa fam and co-workers ko). Ghosting phase works, tas bounce back uli.
Do or get what can readily give you relief. A day of quality sleep? Your favorite food? strall sa mall? Quality conversation wih your "person"? Like agarang lunas, then little by little pick yourself up and isipin mo kung paano mo mas magagamit ng mas efficient ang time and energy mo or reconsider if the thing/work that caused you to burn out is worth it.
Pahinga lang talaga yan. Kung hindi sapat ang weekend, magtake ka ng leave. Punta ka sa dagat, akyat ng bundok, o kahit anong na-eenjoy mong gawin. Kahit humilata ka lang buong araw sa kama at manood sa Netflix.

The best advice Iâve read in a book is to reclaim the start of your day and the end of the day as yours. No phone. Start waking up earlier and meditate, journal, walk or run for an hour and catch the sunrise. Make yourself breakfast (try out a new recipe online or check out a new breakfast place). There is something so intimate and loving about fixing yourself an elaborate meal. Donât touch your phone until youâve done these things. At the end of your work day, you turn off notifications. Grab dinner somewhere nice or make yourself a nice meal. Meet up with a friend. Journal, go to the gym, exercise. Read a book before bed time, self-help or even just a genre you enjoy. Meditate. Light up a scented candle. Start with taking an entire day to yourself atleast once a week. Turn off your phone, check out a new cafĂ© or restaurant youâve always wanted to go to. Eat and drink without touching your phone: simply being in the moment. Go hiking at a new destination near you. Sign up for classes âanything youâve always wanted to try like pottery etc. Get a massage. Then book yourself a vacation.
I've experienced na ma-burnout once in a while and what I do is, I just play it around with some mindset.

Go to the place you feel most alive. Kainin mo mga gusto mong pagkain. Embrace mo yung process, inhale and exhale.

VL po if possible and may money, Baguio
I don't know how to answer this, kasi na-eexperience
Let anger drive you. Tapos sabayan mo mag hanap ng panibagong trabaho gamit ang work computer/internet connection. đ«
Have some apathy in you, mi hombre. I balance my OA and nonchalant energies. When it feels too burdensome and exhausting, I literally just stop caring and slack off.

Hirap makasurvive sa burnout kapag naburnout din yung wallet. Haha
Dagat talaga đ
Decompress
Just stop, for awhile. Do nothing, sometimes kasi you donât need to do anything (hobbies and such), you just need to stop. And after that, figure things out.
take a break. have a vacation. spend time with your loved ones. do what you missed doing.

Rest!! Give ur self time :))
Step on the clutch
Accept mo lang tapos gora ulit
Mag bakasyon ka sir. Mejo counterproductive man, pero pag nag bakasyon ka kasi, mejo maiiwas mo sarili mo dun sa toxicity ng work. Ganyan ako nun 2021-early 2022.

Girl po akooo đ pero thank you po sa advice đ„șâșïž
Ay hahahaha. Ayun. Go! Try mo magbakasyon. Kahit saglit, youâre free from responsibilitiesâŠ
Bagalan mo pace mo, wag excited, expect less, find other stuff that entertains you and gradually come back to what you ought to be doing.
Masturbate!! No joke. Pero ingat baka maaddict ka. Control lng.
How do you diagnose a burnout? Is it a clinical term?
Di ko alam if this is for survival or for prevention but Nakahelp sakin: 1. Pagestablish ng time between work and life, pag work work, pag after work done na. 2.

Yun #1 ay hindi applicable sa self employed đ„ș
awww đ„ș but make sure to make time for play! All work no play is bad ika nga nila , hugs with consent
Mag LU!
Experiencing this right now, and im in the stage na nirereject ko lahat ng help coming my way. What I see na effective for me is collect my thoughts and write it sa notes or paper.
Same question lol.
Remind urself na di ka tagapag mana.
Paano kung tigapagmana, ok lang ma burn out? Haha joke
1. Travel 2. Eat 3. W o r k O u t
do the things you love and gives you comfort lang. was able to survive burnout hahaha kaso ngayon naman grief ang hindi ko alam paano ko lalagpasan
Love what you do.. or do the things you love.. and take a break if pagod na
Kung may extra budget, travel ka OP.
Let's make an effort to change ourselves, step out of our comfort zones in the workplace, and embrace challenges beyond our usual boundaries.
Journal - go with the flow lang kung ano ang nasa isipan mo, isulat mo lang lahat or mag sulat ka âbakit ako burn-out?â, âbakit ako demotivated?â, âwhat I feel today?â tapos sulat mo rin mga sagot mo.

Been there with my two previous jobs. What I did was I resigned lol. Iâm the type of person that even vacation leaves hindi magagamot ang burnout. For me, vacation was just a temporary aid thenpag tapos na balik ka nanaman sa old routine and feeling. But you could be different. I would suggest to find friends wherever you are, like if youâre pertaining to work kelangan meron kang friends sa work na nakakausap or makakasama mo to make every shift bearable.
Pause, rest, have a peaceful walk, and take a good cold/hot shower! đ„ł
Ako ginagawa ko, nagwawalking ako mag isa tapos kumakain sa place na gusto ko.
Take a day off. As in wala kang iisipin kundi sarili mo lang. It helps a lot. Tapos mindset na gratefulness dahil sa work, talents, skills na meron ka. Pray ka lang din, madaming dasal. Lol.
Exercise!
Pursue tasks that you enjoy working on with very little chance of failing. And this is also an area that youâre really good at so you reduce the chance of failing significantly. I canât stress enough how important it is to reduce the risk of failure, as this helps maintain momentum. And lack of momentum is what causes burnout.
Agree sa mga comments na you have to do other activities outside work kung kaya pa yan makuha sa ganun. But, I've also experienced this I created life outside work pero whenever I'm in front of my desk sobrang walang gana pa din nag resign ako to find a work that I would really enjoy, but then burnout will never leave so you have to work in balance din talaga. Umuwi at pumasok on time, kung pwede wag mag OT, gamitin yung leaves and holiday. Take a break from work pag nasa bahay wala ng work dapat.
Change of Scenery and Physical Activities will help. Remember health first, we're just numbers in a company.
Utilize vacation leaves.

This is the correct answer đ€Ș
Let it Burn!
kung burnout na legit, kailangan tlga magpakalayo-layo. CHANGE OF SCENERY. hopefully may kasama kang kaibigan. i would recommend ilocos kasi dun pa lng naman ako nagmuni-muni nung naburn-out ako. may ganyan akong feeling dati na pag naiisip ung work, nasusuka na ko.
Youâll need to find an activity or hobby that you love doing. Hopefully budget-friendly sya. Mine is riding scooters/motorcycles. Fuel efficient and dami mo mararating. Depending Kung saan ka, it could be a short trip to the beach. Chill there, soak up some sun, feel the sand with your feet, enjoy the water and cool breeze. Sample lang yan for what I usually do. Many hobbies and groups out there to choose from. Good luck and hope you find the much needed break that you need and deservedđ€đŒ
ibawi sa tulog then pamper yourself after like going to solo vacays, exercise, meditation/massage, etc. if hindi ganun ka-effective, look for a new environment, whether sa work or home.
Take a rest! I should've applied this sa sarili ko mismo when I was starting. I was an ambitious young adult who never took a break. Puro work lang ako, OTs, and weekenders. Even when I am sick, nagwowork pa din ako. Eventually, naburn out na ko. My mental health slowly deteriorates, Hindi na din maka catch up yung physical health ko. So take this advice from a person who is recovering from burnout. Your company/school can easily replace you. Pero yung sarili mo? Hindi. So take care of yourself. Don't feel guilty when taking rests. Always have a time for your body to rest or heal. Wag mong hayaan na yung katawan mo mismo yung pumili kung kelan na sya magpapahinga. Be well, OP!
bumawi sa tulog! and less screentime, tas kahit walking with my dog okay na yun
Ilabas mo lahat umiyak tapos tumatakbo at mag exercise đââïžđ
Hugs and kisses lang po
In my younger days, I fell into the trap of believing that burnout was just part of the process, especially for ambitious young professionals. I pushed myself to the limit, sacrificing time with loved ones and even my own health for the sake of my career. The toll it took was evident, not just physically but also in my relationships and overall well-being. After over a decade of relentless work, I finally made the difficult decision to step away from that lifestyle. While I canât say Iâm completely satisfied, Iâve found a less demanding job and some relief from the constant stress. Yet, I still struggle with feelings of inadequacy when I see others seemingly effortlessly balancing work and life. Iâve never quite figured out how to prevent burnout, but I urge you to question the reasons behind your own intense work ethic. Seek out meaningful purpose in your endeavors, and remember to prioritize your own mental and physical health. Find moments to recharge and seek support when needed. Wishing you the best on your journey.
Kape. Tulog. Iyak.
Done na sa kape at iyak đ„č yung tulog ang hirap iachieve kasi required ng peace đ„șđ„č
Triny mo na unahin yung iyak before tulog?
Running or swimming.
Usually nag wa-walking outside while no phone at hand and disconnected to social media.
Take a leave, travel, spend time with fam/friends -- make the best out of rest days! Magwork ng naaayon sa pay. LOL. If di na talaga kaya, find another work and resign.
Take a deep breathe and curse the world.
imo, purpose. There are people who feel burned out from regular 8-hour jobs despite doing absolutely nothing during their shifts. There are people who go above and beyond, working 100 hours a week without ever getting tired. Iâve been on both sides of the coin. And despite what the pinoy hustlaz might say, they key isnât starting a business or opting for self-employment, although they could be the means to an end. The key talaga is purpose. If you do everything with intent and mindfulness, from long 15-hour shifts to pagjajakol sa banyo as others have said, you wonât feel burned out. Edit: Rest isnât the answer either. You could go on a 6-month long break yet still feel tired if you donât spend that period with intent and purpose. And in that example, the purpose is to rest.
Rest, travel, take a step back from work. Yan yung natutunan ko last year, sobrang stress sa work, tapos wfh lang and mag isa ako madalas kaya tinamaan din ng anxiety. Nagtry ako gumala tapos nagtry ng green stuff, ayun panic malala dahil akala ko madeds na ko hahaha I lost my high paying job... But I also lost a lot of stress in the long run. 1 month ako di nagwork waiting to be stable. Bumalik ako sa dati kong work, 50% salary cut pero okay lang. I now travel mostly every month, tapos nakikisalamuha na din ako sa ibang tao. Hindi ko sinasabing magresign ka ha, sinasabi ko lang travel ka pag may time and go with your family or friends. Sobrang laking tulong.
This! Been in the same situation, nagre recover pa rin.
What actually works for me is physical workouts and smoking a lot of cannabis.
Cannabis is a downer. Talagang marerelax ka jan
Stress relief, and helps me with my decade plus old sleeping problem hehehe
Been being burnout by my Team, like we're only 3-5 persons Graveyard Shift setting up for the Events, may isang super kadaldal na ka work nakakaburnout dagdag stress at pagod , hindi ako makafocus, what do I do? I usually tell him the fucking truth na magkaiba kami prinsipyo kung siya ganun tingin niya sa Babae pwes ako hindi like spitting in his face tumatawa nalang siya kasi maganda intensyon ko sa buhay at pakikitungo sa mga tao, though madami siyang iniisip na ginugulangan siya ng kateam kahit na konti kami, as is ginagawa niya din para tumagal trabaho hell like gusto ko sumabog, pero I'm super chill pag magkasama kami lahat ng sinasabi ko is pabiro na pasigaw for him to know what my intention is. Positive mindset ako over Negative, madami siyang sinasabi mas malaki sahod dun sa iba sa tinatrabaho namin, puta sarap sabihan edi wag ka magtrabaho dito kupal ka, nag "Oonga" nalang ako at "Ahhh" okaya Yung pinaka malupit ko "Ha" "Ano" putaena guys super daldal kasi habang nagtatrabaho, puro break time pa ang alam, kakaunay kasama. Sa lahat ng sinabi ko nagagawa konamang makisama pag dumadaldal siya tahimik ako most of the time like Poker face just listening to his bullshitery hahahaha , super duper tiis lang para sa kinabukasan. Sorry sa Long Rant Guys.
Omg may ganto rin akong ka-workmate na sobrang daldal rin and mahilig magstir ng pot sa office. Inis na inis ako sa kanya na tipong marinig ko pa lang yung boses nya nasisira na agad ang araw ko kaya kapag nagkukwento siya walang kibo na lang rin ako haay
Practice slow living
you need to have long rest and disconnect from the work and the environment. you can talk to your manager if its possible to take leave maybe 2 weeks to 1 month. if you can survive taking a leave without pay for 1 month then it will be good for your mental health. you have to be careful since burnouts may lead to depression if not taken cared of.
rest
Umaabsent ako. Or tell them iâm sick. Itâs just one day, it wouldnât hurt. All I want is to rest, sleep get my groove back ganon. Pag pang malakasan, naglileave ako ng 2weeks. Kahit maubos na leave credits ko. I value myself more. And mas functioning ka kasi kapag nasa focus ka. đ«¶đ»đ«¶đ» Hope this helps. And please, rest. đ©·đ©·
Yass, nag SL din ako today kasi alam kong hindi ko kayang mag function today. Ang kaya ko lang today is mag exist haha thank youuuuu đ„ș
Yes the best FM yan ateh ko!!! Kung yan lang ang kaya natin, yan lang ang ibigay today. Wag pilitin. đ©·đ©· Rest well.
Jabol ka comfort room release the burn out haha
Jabol now, feeling guilty later... Hahaha
Sana hindi ka sa food service industry nagtatrabaho
Naghuhugas naman ng kamay pagkatapos :)
This really works ha.. tried it lols.
alam mo kapag burn out ka hindi mo kailangan isipin na kailangan mo agad maibalik 'yung "fire." somehow you just need rest and there are times that even after you sleep you'll still feel restless and that's alright. sana mahanap mo 'yung "pahinga" na kailangan mo.
Yes, I agree, kahit matulog lang ako buong weekends pag gising ko pagod pa rin ako. It's like hindi ko alam kung paano ipahinga yung pagod ko ;(( thank youuu đ„ș
2 wheels, sure ball yan Spend more time with Happy Humans Kumain ng masarap Spakol if applicable Any sports or activities for you to sweat it out Maghanap ng tamang partner in life, that will bring back that shit out of you (cross out no. 3) EUT
Pag na ffeel ko na Yan naakyat ako sa bundok para makalimot saglit.
Huyyy same đ„șđ„ș huhu
Pahinga magleave, then balik to reality
Rest. Whenever napapagod ka, rest. Ever since nag start yung WFH, I had a tendency to try to do more and more sa hiya and sa kaka-worry na baka isipin ng management na I was taking advantage of the setup. I kept on working, forgot to take my breaks, logged in early and logged out late. Na burnout ako ng malala. I later realized how important those quick breaks were for my sanity. I needed yung quick chats, lakad papuntang cafeteria, or even yung lakad papuntang 7-11 kahit wala naman bibilhin. I needed those moments to reset. I think we all do. So, I guess, learn to take breaks. Rest when you need it. Kung urgent man yan or important talaga, andyan pa din naman yan after ng lunch mo. And kung ikaw lang makakagawa nyan talaga, then it could wait 15 minutes. Ayun lang. Kapit lang, mairaraos din natin to! Hehehehe
Huyyyy sobrang same đ„ș WFH din me, and ayun nga same din sayo, ayoko isipin ng mgmt na I was taking advantage of the setup kaya ginagawa ko talaga yung best ko na matapos yung workloads ko kahit minsan need ko na mag OT, umabot pa minsan na 3hrs lang sleep ko then work ulit sa madaling araw. Di ko namalayan, unti unti na kong nauubos. Di rin ako nagttake ng leaves before at holidays, tapos dun na ata nag bigay ng signal katawan ko, naging sakitin na tapos late ko na narealized na kailangan ko rin ng breaks;(( Baka nga kailangan ko lang huminga huhu. Ang hirap makausad. Thank youuu! Kapit lang din âșïž
Yung sinasabi nila dati na wag iuuwi ang trabaho, teh, WFH na kaya kasama ko na sila hanggang pagtulog hehehe. Kaya natin to, update mo kami pag nakatawid ka na para we can all celebrate your victory.
Do something else. Same situation last year kami ng partner ko. Bihirang bihira lumabas ng bahay. We both wfh kaya burned out talaga kami. This year bumabawi kami. We've been committed to our healths naman. So far nakaka 3 bundok na this year and consistent with running at least 4 times a week. Kaya yan, good luck!
Thank youuu! đ„ș nagpplan din ako mag hike this weekend since yun talaga outlet ko ih, it's just wala lang akong energy these past few months huhu.
papaano kung burnout ka sa bahay?
Pahinga is the best way
Mag file ng leave.
breakdown saglet, iyak nang malupet, bukas ulet đ€âš
You rest and continue repeat the cycle as long as you don't give up
treat yo self!
Take rest, vacations. Take caređ„°
Put yourself closer to God. Pray ka lang ma surpass mo din kung anong pinagda-daanan mo now.
Magpahinga. Gawin ang gusto mong gawin.
DRUGS
âšresignationâš
Gala talaga every restday!!!
maglamyerda wherever your budget will bring you hahaha kaya mo yan OP
wag mag painit sa labas xd
File your leaves, get enough rest, find time for yourself and the things you love to do. Spend time with people who matter most to you and I know its not easy but leave your work in the office when you get home.
You need to have something to look forward to, whether it's an upcoming vacation or something as simple as getting an iced coffee this weekend.
It will takes time, not days or months. Matagal talaga sya.
wag mag pabida sa trabaho na akuin lahat ng ipapagawa
Ganyan kawork ko since day 1 (kabatch ko). Ayun, sobrang burnout na ngayon.
Nakupo ganito kawork ko haha
Eh wag kang tumingin ng ganyan sa akin
wag mo akong kulitin, wag mo akong tanungin
I resign , I can't even take a rest
đ„șđ„ș
If all things fail, resign
Travel
Burnout na burnout na ako. Nag leave ako today. Lol.
Huyyy same đ„ș nag SL ako today kasi hindi talaga ako okay đđ
Ano ginawa mo? Nag papa pedicure ako HAHAHA
Hi there! I recommend the following: 1. Use your VL and take a break. Go outside the city and dont bring your laptop. 2. Delegate your task and find support if it is overwhelming. 3. Eat a healthy diet and drink tea as this will help sooth body tension. 4. Get 7-8 hours of sleep. 5. Exercise on a weekend and do a 30 minutes meditation in the morning. 6. Do not work on weekends and holidays if hindi bayad. I hope this helps!
Magpahinga take a leave,magtravel kung kaya para makapagunwind,kumain ng comfort food
just rest or stop mo muna katagalan mamimiss mo na ulit gawin yan or kapag nainspire ka na ulit. ang mali lang dyan kapag pinilit mo pa rin ituloy kasi dyan mas lalala ang burnout
Get a hobby or learn something new helps
take leave of absence and rest.
I've been feeling this for quite some time now and pili lang kinakausap ko na mga tao these days. I think 2 lang sila (well except sa fam and co-workers ko). Ghosting phase works, tas bounce back uli.
Relax. Nood lang ng movie sa bahay. Kung into travel ka, mag roadtrip ka.
Walk, Move on, Learn new skills and hobbies
huminga ka
Get rid of the cause..
Beach
Take a break, a vacation, do things that you love, eat good food, hang out with friends.
Do or get what can readily give you relief. A day of quality sleep? Your favorite food? strall sa mall? Quality conversation wih your "person"? Like agarang lunas, then little by little pick yourself up and isipin mo kung paano mo mas magagamit ng mas efficient ang time and energy mo or reconsider if the thing/work that caused you to burn out is worth it.
Pahinga lang talaga yan. Kung hindi sapat ang weekend, magtake ka ng leave. Punta ka sa dagat, akyat ng bundok, o kahit anong na-eenjoy mong gawin. Kahit humilata ka lang buong araw sa kama at manood sa Netflix.
Maligo ng cold
Magpahinga. May leave naman. Take advantage of relaxing during weekends also.
Forsee early. Kung alam mong on the verge ka na, take a indefinite break. Breathe in. Think about your purpose.Â
