If you're thinking I feel mentally burned down here's what
to do.
I've been where you are before burned-out hating my job to
the point where I quit it to the point where it before I
quit it.
I was searching things.
Like I feel mentally burned out or I hate my job or how to
quit a job and I actually met one of my best friends Alexander
Hind. That guide he runs Modern Health monk, but at the time
he ran a self-help blog and owned the keyword for I hate
my life and I met him through that still dog doing every
week amazing guy.
But if you're there and you're searching I feel mentally
burned out here's what to do.
Did you quit your job should you change something etcetera?
Here are the questions that I went through and hopefully
you can get some help from this.
There's some reasons for why you might feel mentally burned
out and what to do.
So let's jump into it first thing you want to do if you're
feeling mentally.
Burned out is take a break go for a walk.
Shut your computer down for a couple days.
What works for me is I'll delete the Gmail app on my phone
and then reinstall it after the weekend's over take an actual
couple days off when I realized I was burned out enough to
quit my first job.
It was when I finally took a vacation.
I went from New York to Chicago to go hang out for like four
or five days and during that time as soon as I got on the
airplane all I could think about was I'm going to quit this
job easy as that.
So when you take a break you will Start to get some distance
from whatever is burning you out and it'll allow you to think
through the next part of this video.
Now you want to think why do you hate what you do?
Why are you burned out right now?
Maybe you hate the work.
Maybe the expectations are different than what you expected.
Maybe you suck at it.
Maybe you're working too many hours a day.
So now that we've identified some common issues.
Let's talk about common fixes for each of those because we're
not just brainstorming here during this time off of your
job. We want to actually come up with some solutions so that
you can stop feeling I'm burned out.
We're not just going to complain about it and do nothing
and I think that is something that you want to internalize
yourself. You don't just want to complain or vent to your
friends about a problem.
You want to actually solve the problems that you're dealing
with because every problem is solvable if you reframe it
in the right way, so is it the work itself that is burning
you out if the work you're doing is terrible and you hate
it the solution there is to ask your boss for a new job something
within the company change your rules and responsibilities
so that you're doing something that you find fun.
I tried that at the market.
Job that I was burned out at I moved from sales and cold
calling into more of a marketing role.
And he was fine to do it.
He was down if the expectations are different than what's
happening. So for instance, maybe told you you'd only be
working for hours a day and you're working 12 hours a day
or he's telling you that you're maybe a Salesman and he said
that you'll be selling 10,000 dollars of product a week.
But you're only selling two thousand dollars of product.
What you need to do is come to terms with those new expectations.
You were lied to or misled in the beginning and you just
have to accept that you're normal.
Sales volume at ten thousand a week and the commission attached
to that is a dream that's not going to happen.
You were lied to so except that it's 2,000.
If you were told that sales were only two thousand a week.
Would you have still taken the job is a question.
You got to ask yourself and it's the same with any expectations.
If you were told you had to work 12 hours a day instead of
told you had to work 4 hours a day.
Would you still have taken the job those are things that
you have to work through on your own and think about your
specific situation and if you want to keep the job you will
need to mentally right off.
Anything that you were told previously do not ever think
about the fact that you were promised a commission on $10,000
in sales.
Think about the fact that you make 2,000 or 4,000.
This one's super hard and requires rewiring your brain and
thinking about thinking like looking at the thoughts that
you're actually having but if you can do this you can make
yourself happy with any situation.
So make sure to use that sparingly and only for your own
good because you can use these same justifications to end
up stuck in a really bad situation.
So set better expectations in your brain and Attend like
those were the plan the entire time.
This is exactly what I signed up for pretend that the four-hour
day promise never happened.
It was a 12-hour day promise.
And this is what you signed up for keep telling yourself
that until you accept if you suck at your job, that's another
one. Maybe you suck at your job.
I know I get burned out when I'm terrible at something like
when I first did marketing for this agency.
I moved from the cold calling job to the marketing job.
I was not able to move the numbers up at all.
I did not know anything about marketing even though I had
a Bachelors of Science in marketing.
I did not know how to grow a start-up so.
We want to do if that's the case is watch tutorials or join
a course you want to get better because once you win you
will feel better.
I know every time I send a cold email campaign if I'm feeling
down I'll send cold emails because when I get the responses
back, I feel good.
I always feel better.
When any of our companies are doing well when I can look
at our sales going up.
My personal mood is increased and you should do the same.
It's not just in sales.
It's in any job if you suck at your job, then getting better
and doing more education will reduce your burnout and if
you're working too many hours, Hours work less tell your
boss that you're leaving at six or better yet.
Just start doing it and ask for forgiveness later just start
leaving at 6:00 coming in at 9:00 follow the actual protocol
that was set and see what happens.
Maybe you just think you have to stay till 9:00 or 10:00
p.m. But if you leave it six, it's actually totally fine.
I know some people at one of the companies I used to work
for would leave at 6:00 and everyone else would stay till
10:00 and they were still employed there.
So the fact that you have to stay till 10 at least in that
guy's mind.
He understood that you could leave it 6 and it's You're not
going to get fired.
But everyone else has bought into this whole system and it
was burning him out.
So start doing it and ask for forgiveness later and try to
find something you love about what you do.
If you can't avoid burnout using these steps, then you got
to opt out life is too short to be in a place that's killing
you for no reason if you're burned out because you're working
too hard and you work a little less and you feel good, then
that's fine.
But if you're burned out because you hate your job and you
can't convince yourself to love your job and you can't get
a new job from the same company.
You're going to have to leave and that is something that
you have to accept.
