In this episode, Adam and Shannon discuss:

• What is burnout?
• Escaping or addressing burnout
• How visualization motivates people
• The art of saying “no”
• The difference between a health & life coach and a therapist

Key Takeaways:

• There are numerous factors that contribute to burnout, which is on the rise across all age groups, and it is high time for us to take a closer look at it and see how we can better manage it.
• The first step in dealing with burnout is recognizing its signs. Then, be clear about your goals or what you truly desire. Being clear about your goals will make it easier for you to set action steps to help you get there.
• The more you practice visualization or tuning in to all of your senses, the easier it is to be present in that moment and bring motivation into your life.
• Do not put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Learn to say no and set boundaries for yourself. Unless we respect our own time, energy, and focus with boundaries, we will lose a lot of energy and find things to be really draining.
• Health and life coaches and therapists both offer advice, but therapists help their clients work through and resolve past issues and traumas, whereas coaches work with clients on current obstacles and challenges, and help them discover what they really want in their life.

“Once they do move themselves up the list of their priorities, and they go towards the top, they see how much that can impact all others in their life and everything they do. Put your own oxygen mask on before you help others” —  Shan
