\nor business, you know it\u2019s something that\u2019s best to manage in its
\nearly stages. In Episode 185 of the Creative Shop Talk Podcast, Dr.
\nAshley Margeson joins me for a dynamic discussion about burnout,
\nincluding what it is, and methods for prevention and recovery. If
\nyou are like many of my retailers and have said things like \u201cI love
\nwhat I do, but\u2026\u201d \u201cI just need to hustle through this one
\nevent\/season\/month\u2026\u201d This conversation is for you.<\/p>\n
\ninteresting phenomenon that the WHO set as a true diagnosis only a
\nfew years ago, identifiable by three key symptoms: depressive-like
\nfeelings, apathy towards your work (whether it be at home,
\nentrepreneurship, etc), and a loss of productivity\/performance.
\nBurnout is tough to recognize at its earliest stages because we
\nkeep justifying it with logic.<\/p>\n
\noveruse adrenaline as our main energy source. The longer we use
\nadrenaline as energy, cortisol production is suppressed. Cortisol
\nis your energy & stress response hormone that should rise in the
\nmorning and stay steady throughout the day. As entrepreneurs, our
\nfirst instinct is often to just \u201cdo more,\u201d which leads to living on
\nadrenaline. Living on adrenaline leads to burnout.<\/p>\n
\nthink of a bank account. Like a bank account withdrawal, our energy
\nis depleted for things we spend it on. Similarly, an energy
\n\u201cdeposit\u201d can be made into our bank through things like eating
\nhealthy meals and adequate sleep.<\/p>\n
\nhave lots of deposits coming in so we are able to \u201cspend\u201d our
\nenergy\/adrenaline.<\/p>\n
\nenough energy coming in to deal with what\u2019s going out.<\/p>\n
\nin to cover what is going out. At this stage, you aren\u2019t quite
\napathetic, moreso irritated. You start putting things off.<\/p>\n
\nno longer getting out of bed. Once you get to this stage, you may
\nneed medical intervention and recovery can take months and
\nmonths.<\/p>\n
\nin our conversation is that burnout can\u2019t necessarily be avoided.
\nRather, severe burnout should be managed\/prevented so that recovery
\ncan be a walk outside vs. 18 months of rest. From a retail
\nperspective, this could mean identifying what you can do in Q1 – Q3
\nthat will limit the energy withdrawals you are making in Q4 that
\ncan lead to burnout.<\/p>\n
\nform of 30 second \u201cglimmers\u201d throughout your day, deposits that
\ntake 5-15 minutes, and deposits that take over 20 minutes.
\nOftentimes, we are so focused on the energy deposits that take more
\nthan 20 minutes (having dinner with a friend, for example) that we
\nmiss the smallest deposits (\u201cglimmers\u201d like a glass of water, a
\npost-it note on the computer, etc). These are the sources that give
\nus small, sustainable bumps in energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nspending our energy on: sleep, fueling, self-awareness, and
\nmovement.<\/p>\n
\nburn out because we care about showing up and doing the right
\nthings.\u201d – Dr. Ashley<\/p>\n
