The first thing to know about burnout is that it is possible to get out of it and regain your former productivity and desire to work. It is worth starting with the prevention of emotional burnout.
Lately, we consume a lot of negative content that eats away at our positive thinking, emotions and resources. Limit your exposure to the newsgroups and make it a habit to check the news in the evening outside of work hours. Allocate yourself 15-20 minutes a day, so that the news feed does not consume you for hours.
Besides, one should always be attentive to oneself and one’s condition. It is especially important for HR specialists, managers, psychologists, because they are more often confronted with various states of others, which directly affects their own state.
