One of the most common mistakes that you can make when trying to say goodbye to burnout forever is to stop working on yourself as soon as you feel burnout symptoms go away.

When you’re burned out, you really want to make a change and feel better, so you are motivated to do it. However, when there’s no immediate threat, it’s in our nature to relax and keep the status quo.

I suggest to do things differently. Approach getting rid of burnout not as a temporary measure, but as a long-term commitment. As soon as you get back into your comfort zone, that’s when burnout strikes unexpectedly.

Make yourself burnout-proof, your future self will thank you for the step that you are taking today.
