I BURNED OUT ONCE


What is burnout?

Last year after graduation and the discussion of my thesis, I felt this kind of exhaustion for a long period of time, I slept days and nights I wasn’t able to do anything can’t go out stopped the gym even I wasn’t interested in movies I just wanted to rest as much as I could, it was really something huh?
Everything happened because of my researches, I had this problem about how to produce bioelectricity from bacteria and treating wast water at the same time, between running from bibliography to lab work and experimenting all day long for many times and some problems with my tutor believe me it wasn’t an easy task with the period of time I had planned. Is this really  a burnout ???
After some time I start having my strength back but still, my behavior didn’t change what’s wrong with me?

I found that burnout  is the loss of motivation and the energy to keep moving forward.
Also, it said that it is a state of emotional, mental, physical, exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress in times when a person is unable to meet certain standards and demands.
Dr. Maslach put burnout in 3 types base on the environment that may cause it.
1.      Individual burnout or self-burnout it caused by negative self-talk and blaming ourselves for not being able to keep up with whatever we are going for.     
2.     Interpersonal burnout its cause is toxic relationships and very stressful situations related to people.
3.     Organizational burnout
Poor life organization
Extreme demands
Not fulfilling our life standards

Burnout and stress are pretty closely linked, but they’re not the same thing.
Stress puts a lot of pressure on the body. This can be manageable in the short-term, but if it's constant, it can be bad for both your physical health and emotional wellbeing. Eventually, too much stress on your body over a long period of time can cause you to burn out.

So to make it clear you can be stressed without being  burned out but you can't be burned out without being stressed.

WHY AM I STRUGGLING WITH MY DAILY ROUTINE

I always had day in my life when I am my best I wake up early ready to go to work have my gym schedule clean the dishes, cook my food and my agenda is on time, and there is also me the one who’s never on time wake up at 11am I missed my lessons and late for work, sometimes I stop cooking and I eat whatever I find in the fridge, the room is a mess I’m a mess everything around me is a mess. And I think that I’m not the only one suffering from this, actually a lot of people have this kind of problems if not most of them, these might be a relief when you see that you are not the only one who has this kind of mess in your life, but the question is   does it help? Of course not, and I am talking from my experience when I was a kid    my high school university, writing my Master's degree thesis, last period of searching for a job. Bad choices in the past As I see how things went in the past I know now that I had other choices to make, for example, the summer when ...

Straggling for a job ? its going to be long way

Hello !!! it's me Yas telling you my story         After graduating last year I started wondering what suits me as a job and it took me a while to make a plan, I had two things to choose between them wood making accessory and furniture or food analyzes laboratory neither of them is easy doing and both need a lot more work and learning period and much more concentration and guess what a lot of money.         I did choose to learn more about both, lucky me 😁😁😁 so I started with the woodshop I wasn't lucky as I thought I get rejected at the beginning, for them I was too old to learn the job which led me to ask where else can it, they said there the vocational training center, I went there and signed in😎😁 I'm starting to learn next Thursday.

How Do You Get To Know Yourself ????

Add caption “Empty your cup so that it may be filled, become devoid to gain totality” -          Bruce lee       - If you ask me about myself I would probably repeat most of what I wrote on my bio and then I would stop talking I don’t know I never thought about it more than that until I star facing   new things and new situations and new people which I reacted differently than I was expecting. This is a big deal for me and it should be either I like it or not I’m not saying that I don’t remember what I do or my life I’ talking about the way I see myself that isn’t right. I remember telling my friend that if you want to see things right you should get out of yourself then see the whole picture, I don’t do that anymore and this is a mistake I think. This is an important thing to go through in your life, here you will find out who you really are, what you love and what you want to do now and in the future, ...
