Join us here at the Healthy Burnout: Discover the meaning of a Healthy Burnout Lifestyle!
It’s fair to say that we may have identified with some form of burnout in our lifetimes. You may be feeling it more often than others. But have you ever thought about being a “healthy” burnout and avoiding stress burnout?
What does healthy burnout mean to you? What defines healthy and burnout together?
Healthy Burnout for us is a lifestyle. Not in the negative sense either. More like healthy, happy burnout. Think Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It’s a play on words, but with purpose.
The term healthy is a state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not just about being disease free. Being healthy is a lifestyle, a way of life.
Burnout is considered a syndrome resulting from stress related issues. The three basic characteristics of burnout include: low energy or exhaustion, mental and emotional distance and distractions, and just overall negative and depressed feelings about one’s situation. Burnout most often occurs with work, school, and overwhelming responsibilities in life.
Burnout also refers to the Spicolis of the world. Remember the character, Jeff Spicoli, from Fast Times at Ridgemont High? He consumed so much marijuana, that he was numb to the everyday stress of school and life. He was the epitome of a true pothead, always in a state of being burnt out, stupid and unmotivated.
How can burnout be healthy?
Well, it’s not on its own, but the Healthy Burnout is our punny solution to create a healthy balance around work, life, and wellbeing. A harmonious anti-burnout, if you will. (But that doesn’t sound quite as sexy or fun!)
Referring back to Spicoli’s character. When he found his own school and life balance, he became a “healthy burnout.”
This is the Healthy Burnout site: your guide to finding that highly coveted balance so you can avoid being just a burnout and, instead, be a Healthy Burnout.
