Today I am joined by my close friends from the UK, who I consider family. And we are here to talk about BURNOUT!
Do you know what Burn Out is?
Did you know that there are 3 Dimensions of Burn Out?
These were defined by a study carried out in 2016.

They defined that there were 3 dimensions to burn out
Exhaustion
Powerlessness
Cynicism

The times that I was bullied as an adult, was actually by someone YOUNGER than myself who perceived that they held greater power. Sometimes we may feel that we hold the world by the tail, then something is said or done that can shrink that into a small dot.

Researchers now believe that dreams actually DO help us process emotions, consolidate memories, and more. Sometimes dreams make a lot of sense -- like when we've been working hard and we end up dreaming, that we're still at work or that we’re back in school with a ton of homework and tests coming up. Other times the meaning of dreams is less clear.

Going to therapy doesn’t mean you’re broken
Therapy can help you deal with whatever you’re going through to improve your well-being and way of life.

Self sabotage is a state of mind which damages your belief in yourself...
Self-sabotage is self-generated, self-perpetuated. Self-sabotage is also a type of addiction to “under-achieving” and overall “under-being”, and you can change it for good!

You are not ill.
You can get control.
In case you’ve been trying to get rid of anxiety, it’s worth remembering that your goal is NOT to be free of anxiety.
Only dead people and psychopaths feel zero anxiety. They feel NO emotion at all!

Isn't it interesting how often we take the judgments and negative comments that others throw our way and run with them as true?
It doesn’t matter how ill-informed or throwaway that comment was, for some reason we believe it.

When we suffer a traumatic event in our lives that doesn’t make any sense we often get locked into that moment and a part of our subconscious becomes unable to move on until we can make sense of it and put it to rest in our mind. This then becomes an unsolvable puzzle.
