Today, I’m bringing you 44 signs you are experiencing lifestyle burnout so you’ll know if this applies to you and you oughta keep paying attention to my articles coming up.

Workplace Burnout Is Becoming Lifestyle Burnout

Blog, Burnout, Stress /

To celebrate Self Improvement Month (which was last month, by the way…kinda missed it 😬), I wrote a few posts on burnout because I’ve been noticing my clients really struggling with burnout, and it’s been a focus of their self-improvement projects.  

 

To start, I wrote an article about how workplace burnout is oozing into my clients’ entire lives and creating a phenomenon I’m calling “lifestyle burnout.”  

 

Check it out to discover more about what “lifestyle burnout” is.  

Then grab the PDF to figure out what might be contributing to your lifestyle burnout and to get a link to a test that shows your susceptibility to a stress-induced health breakdown.

9 Signs of Stress in Women

Blog, Stress /

Recently, I learned that research is showing women experience stress differently than men. This isn’t just about whether they experience more stress than men (though there’s some indication that might be true)…it’s about how they experience stress, how they show it, and how it affects their lives.  Today, I’m outlining 9 signs of stress we see in women in particular. And if you’re a man, it’s good for you to read so you can recognize stress in the women in your life and know when to support and when to just stay out of the way.  …know what I mean?

 

Plus, I put together a PDF outlining 258 signs of stress in men and women.  If you’re curious, I marked the ones I experience when I’m stressed (I’m kind of nosy and I like to know what other people experience, so I did it for you so you can be nosy, too 😉).  So make sure you grab that.

So we’ve talked about how the unhealthy, unrelenting standards you’ve set for yourself are keeping you stuck with anxiety. They make you feel overwhelmed, inadequate, and stressed out. And we also talked about the importance of having standards — we can’t just abandon them altogether! What we want to do is identify the standards that are helpful and keep those around and then also identify the ones that are creating anxiety and modify them to be more helpful. So last week we figured out what your standards are. And today, it’s time to figure out which standards are unhelpful and causing unnecessary anxiety. Check out my article today outlining 11 questions to ask yourself to determine if your personal standards have crossed the line and are creating unnecessary anxiety.
