Initiate positive changes in your work setting. Enlist the support of your colleagues.
Get away! Take a trip with a loved one. If you can't get time off work, make an overnight outing, take a day trip, or otherwise do something to provide yourself with a change of scenery.
If you're feeling entirely burned out, exhausted, and just plain fed up, please get some help! Take some time off. Call in sick if you have to! Use your Employee Assistance Program or insurance benefit to get some counseling. Don't give up! As Maslach & Leiter's research has shown, your employer is largely responsible for your burnout. Stop blaming yourself and engaging in defeating self-talk, and start Banishing Burnout. Remember that you do have options. Even if you feel financially stuck and unable to leave a job, you can still explore second income opportunities with the ultimate goal of liberating yourself from that chained-to-this-job feeling. Please try to count your blessings and appreciate the good things in your life. Don't lose sight of them while work is bringing you down.
