Three Common Mistakes Hindering Your Burnout Recovery

Reflecting on my personal burnout recovery journey, as well as that of my clients, I’ve pinpointed three crucial errors that could be prolonging and complicating your recovery process.

Let’s explore each one:

Waiting for a Perfect Tomorrow Instead of Acting Now

Do you find yourself thinking, ‘Things will improve after this project’ or ‘Once I get a new job, everything will be better’? The reality is, expecting the ideal moment is like chasing an illusion.

Accepting that life will always have its imperfections can be liberating. This mindset allows us to take immediate action, seek support, show kindness to ourselves, and create genuine improvements instead of constantly waiting for better times.

Trying to Handle Everything Alone

With a psychology degree and extensive mindfulness practice, I believed I could manage burnout independently.

The truth is, we all have blind spots that we can’t identify by ourselves, making external help crucial. Burnout is multi-layered; while some tools may work initially, new layers emerge requiring different solutions.

Eventually, I sought therapy, which didn’t address my burnout (a common experience among my clients). Thus, finding support tailored to your neurodivergent needs is essential.

Random Experimentation Without a Structured Plan

Are you trying various methods and techniques randomly, hoping for a quick solution? Without a coherent strategy, these efforts often lead to frustration and confusion.

It’s akin to assembling furniture with random tools instead of following a manual. Effective recovery requires a systematic approach with thoughtful, incremental steps.
