SupportByMonika about burnout, life transitions and herself
Burnout
In today's fast-paced, achievement-oriented world, stress and pressure at work are an unfortunate reality. If left unchecked, this stress can accumulate and eventually lead to burnout - a state of exhaustion where the work we once loved becomes an unbearable burden. Burnout can affect anyone, in any professions - healthcare workers, IT specialists, teachers - and is becoming increasingly common. It can leave us feeling stuck, questioning ourselves, and even cause physical illness
Contrary to popular belief, burnout is not simply the result of an individual's inability to manage stress and work-life balance. It is a researched and well-defined phenomenon that can be caused by a mismatch between an employee and their organization or workplace. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to burnout, and finding ways to restore joy in work and overall well-being is a personal journey for each individual. It is important to understand the various factors that can contribute to burnout and to seek support in addressing these issues
Transition and Transformation
At various points in life we may find ourselves in a place that initially looks like a dead end - we cannot go back to the previous way of living, but we are in a complete darkness what should we do next and what is the direction we should take. Going beyond such point requires courage and time, but if we take this risk we will eventually not only find ourselves in a new place with new opportunities, but also we will notice that this journey changed us to become more confident, stronger, with deeper understanding of life.
Such profound change was defined by an author, consultant, and international speaker William Bridges in 1979:
“(…) change is situational. Transition, on the other hand, is psychological. It is not those events, but rather the inner reorientation and self-redefinition that you have to go through in order to incorporate any of those changes into your life. Without a transition, a change is just a rearrangement of the furniture. Unless transition happens, the change won’t work, because it doesn’t ‘take’.”
My Coaching
People adopt various strategies when they face life challenges - they try to deal with them completely alone, find a solution with the help of family or friends, or search for professional advice or other types of professional help. Coaching is just one of the methods, but it offers some unique features that can be beneficial.
As a Coach I will:
- offer you a safe space to talk and think, without exposing yourself to judgment or unsolicited advice,
- share research-based information and assessments about burnout,
- support you in designing your goals and setting up a path towards achieving them,
- accompany you during your journey to success,
- challenge your hidden, underlying beliefs and assumptions to increase your self-awareness,
- support in evaluation of the situation from a different point of view,
- partner in explorations and decisions, never forcing my views.
