Burnout Quotes

Quotes About Burnout



  • When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven't. --THOMAS EDISON
  • Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long. --Michael Gungor
  • Burnout is nature's way of telling you, you've been going through the motions your soul has departed; you're a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker. False optimism is like administrating stimulants to an exhausted nervous system. --Sam Keen
  • I have a theory that burnout is about resentment. And you beat it by knowing what it is you're giving up that makes you resentful. --Marissa Mayer
  • Time spent in nature is the most cost-effective and powerful way to counteract the burnout and sort of depression that we feel when we sit in front of a computer all day. --Richard Louv







What Burnout Looks Like | MWM
What Burnout Looks Like = Close your energy gap. When you hit that burnout wall, it shows up not only in you, but in your team as well. Protect your energy. Set boundaries. Encourage rest. And then when your energy returns, you will see performance return as well. Your energy fuels the culture and the team that you lead.




Staying Mission-Minded Keeps You Motivated
https://youtu.be/mIHLtxHWaf8
Your Mission Impacts Others = Mission should be the driver of our everyday pursuit of excellence. It is the opportunity we have to reach out and serve others. Connecting to your mission is also a powerful way to overcome burnout. You are in the service of others and in that service you matter.



Protect Your Margin and It Will Protect You | MWM
Protect Your Margin and It Will Protect You = Burnout doesn't begin with exhaustion, it begins with lack of boundaries. If you don't have margin, then you can't coach, support, or lead your team effectively. Margin is not a weakness, it fuels your strength! Protect your margin, it's where great leadership breathes.

All’s Well that Begins Well | MWM
All Is Well That Begins Well = The word beginning speaks of anticipation—a fresh start. Your attitude on the front end of something new, determines your success on the back end. When you start something, begin with a positive thought. 






Beginnings are always hopeful—a fresh start, a new home, the birth of a child, a new job. There’s always an air of optimism that surrounds starting over with a blank slate—so much opportunity, potential and expectations for the future. You can determine to make a brand-new start from wherever you are now, today—and with the right start, you can have the perfect end.




The New Year is all about a new beginning—it’s why we are drawn to the extravagant celebration and festivities; it’s what keeps us up, counting down until midnight, to witness the start of our something new! But you don’t have to wait for the first of January each year to start over. If you aren’t satisfied with the way things are, change them—make a decision to begin again now.



In trying times, begin each moment with a positive thought. Today is your day to do anything you want! You may be feeling a sense of confusion or perhaps you're feeling a sense of positivity, whatever it may be, try to see the light in it.


Happy New Year! Just like that, another year has come and gone. Today is YOUR day to start fresh, create a new beginning. Take a few moments to yourself today and reflect on all you have achieved, mistakes or challenges you have faced and focus on how you want to continue to grow and invest in yourself this next year.
