Nowadays,
many people experience burnout
due to stress,
a lot of competition in their lives,
and so many deadlines.
“I have to finish this and that.”
Around that kind of situation and environment,
of course we will experience burnout,
but at the same time,
we can think about a few things.
With anything we do in our lives,
to try to have balance
is very important.
Balance means
to try to sleep early.
Try.
If you can,
try to sleep before eleven.
In Tibetan medicine,
we say that if you go to sleep early,
if you have a lot of stress and burnout,
it helps to heal those things.
Try to sleep well.
Another
important mindset is,
if you cannot sleep,
to just relax, feel your body,
and especially feel the gravity in the body.
And relax.
Do not look for sleep:
“I need sleep.” Then you cannot sleep.
This is very important.
Also important is physical exercise.
Normally we have burnout
because one side is too much.
Maybe if we are sitting too much
we will feel burnout.
So we have to do something to balance this.
We have to do some moving,
especially bodily movement.
Do some physical exercise, aerobic exercise.
This is very important.
Do something different.
If you go to work,
do not always drive or walk the same way.
Change your route.
Try to explore different paths,
different roads.
Try to do something different.
You have weekends, right?
Go to the mountains, hike.
Go to nature.
Do something completely different
than what you do every day.
This will help to keep balance.
Most important is your mindset.
Let go of the past.
It is most important
to be with the present.
One of the causes of burnout and stress
is that normally
we do not focus on what we need to do.
Scientists said
that most of the time we do something else
and then when a deadline comes,
we become very tight,
so it is easy to burn out.
So, whatever you do,
every day do a little bit.
Divide things
and do not wait until
the last moment.
In the mind,
meditation is very important.
Every day, try to meditate a little bit.
If you are new to meditation,
do breathing meditation
or sound meditation,
or you can come up with a word in the mind.
This is what we call “mental recitation.”
Any word or phrase.
Maybe, “I am fine. Everything is fine.”
Recite that silently in the mind,
so the mind becomes more present.
This will help to balance your mind.
Meditation is a very important factor.
Let go of the past.
Let go of the future.
Be with the present.
Then,
there will be balance.
Balance in your mind.
Balance in your bodily health.
Then you will not have burnout.
