Im burnt out because of over caring how i do every little thing and being a perfectionist,always overthinking every situation until i reached a point where my mind and body are completely fatigued,now im here selfmotivating watching videos and reading trying to recuperate.

I’m so burnt out that the suggestions to fix it sound like too much to handle...

I got burned at my old job. It felt like my mental and physical was going into a bad place it has never gone. I took an early one week vacation. Went back to work that Monday and quit that Tuesday. That action rejuvenated me. Became self-employed. Very happy and at peace now.

Yes, I have been burned out. Tp recover, I slept and detached from social media and the phone. It was necessary to take those steps.

"In your journey from Icarus to Phoenix. The firebird, not the city." I appreciated the laugh. XD

I didn't realize that I was burned out from last days . My productivity went from 90 to zero . I was just sleeping most of the time and I couldn't breathe properly. I took a break from work, drank loads of fluids and ate fresh fruits and went for a good massage today which made me to bounce back to normal routine. I m feeling wonderful now

Yes , I’m burned out now. That basic functions in life are so hard to complete.

Yes, I've been burned out alright, and it's so hard to recover from, but thankfully, after a long time, I am. Recovery took self analysis, seeing what was wrong with my life, and getting rid of people and situations and thoughts that were toxic. I took time off from everything I could, and concentrated on myself for a change. Gave myself precious time to rest and heal, and make a new plan for my life that is realistic and doable. I hit rock bottom, and thought I could never rise again, so take heart if you feel like this, as life is changing you for the better, and you do eventually begin to rise again- from the bottom, exhausted, but with a plan of action and self love, the right decisions and impetus comes and you realise you got this! Step- by-step, a new life begins in you and for you! Thank you sir for this video, and all the best to everyone here! 👍

I'm so burnt out i dont have any relationship outside of work. I close my eyes and i see work and i keep on thinking of mistakes i make at work.

I just quit my job due to this, stress levels way above acceptable for 4 years resulted not only in mental problems like bad memory, can't focus, irritated but actual body pains, shortage of breath chest pains. Yeah, not worth it, i'm out of there. Edit, and as you can see also linguistic capabilities...

I burned out 2 years and a half ago. It made me change my whole life and vision. Quit job, then 4 Months of practically "vegetable mood" then started with exercises, vacations, nutrition, more exercises, more burned out in the process and lots of tries and fails. I kept on it then discover i needed to work on the mental part and so i did. It's been 2 years and I am still in the process, but i am in a better situation now. I lost my passion but discovered 100 more. Finding out my values and goals has been so helpful and i feel like i did every step mentioned in that order without even knowing it in time. I wish i could have found this a lot early though. It's been a great journey and I am grateful for it.

I had a burnout. I solved it by leaving my job, and taking a month off between jobs. I felt much better afterwards.

I experienced burn out.. my steps were to avoid all negetivity , follow motivational speakers like brain Tracy ... Truly appreciate these videos from him , they are truly transforming.

Great tips... If you're tired after a trip. Burned out for real? Leave everything in your life. Start a new one. FIXED! You really can not return to the cause, ever.

I've been burning out. It's somewhat ironic because I've been the healthiest I've ever been mentally, but at the same time my living situation is just draining my soul. I wish I could fix it right now. Honestly, being burnt out can at times feel like some strange form of depression. Fatigue, slow mind and body, muted emotions...a real drab.

Yes, i am definately burnt out. Without going into all the reasons why, i absolutely need to make some changes in my life.. In short, more "ME time". Right now, i am feeling absolutely overwhelmed with everything. It's not that i just don't try, -I do.Trouble is, i keep getting knocked down, which has really destroyed my self confidence. By the way.. I'm 61.

music is helping me through as well as setting up boundaries and keeping people from pushing me past my limit... time alone is critical and by that I don't mean hanging out with my phone...might as well invite thousands of people into the room...so no, I spend time alone creating beautiful things... I'm near crisis mode after accepting that I have no choice in handling some extreme family stuff....finding time for me right now is more important than I ever realized. Thank you, Sir for the excellent advice. Well said. I now have a few more ideas to help me cope as I get through this nightmare.

I was so burned out! I kept telling me that I could not handle one more thing. No one listened. When I did burn out do to a major traumatic life event I had not only burn out but PTSD. I feel like things are better although I don’t know if the PTSD will ever go away. I am in counseling. That so helps to have someone understand.

Personally I recover from a burn out by taking a few days off and just giving my body what it needs. More sleep. More fresh air. Having a good laugh. Spending time with loved ones. Journaling. Meditating.

Thank you Brian. I've studied your materials for years, and just tuning in is uplifting.

I just decided leave my job after 9 years of solid honest service, at work I value most people who work with/for me and give their best, so when top man refused to give them, some small pay rise , but substantial for my men I see no point to work there, To carry about business as I did, starting a little bit early and finish a little bit late. Time for change, time to repeat it but for someone who understand what his/her best business asset is: People !

I am burned out because of prolonged academic stress. Consistent efforts and overthinking every smallest situation or decision i made in past. My body signed me during december of 2023 that u need a break from all this,but i ignored my inner voice. I was annoyed of the fact that why do my body signals for break in every 2 months? But then i realised that in those 2 months,i do my best.the best i can. And after ignoring myself since December,i had ny practicals in January and February. March(present)is all about my final exams. Infact i have one tomorrow. And once my finals are finished, I have several entrance exams for university. But i have realised that i have to recover from burnout first and then start yo focus on my university exams. Ignoring the voice of your inner soul is definitely not a solution. And today i have realised that!

Thank you for your post; it clear out a lot of thought in my mind. After 28 years military and stills going; plus single mom and demand job from the post office. I feel likes I am about to lose it all. I took a week off from everyone accept my children and my parents. I have ideas and plan for every single day; but I so lack of motivation that I spent time Bing watching shows on KZfaq and lay around the house for a few days. I feel so uncomfortable and unproductive; I want to cry but no tear. In everyone eyes, it look like I have everything; great jobs with benefits and status quote. I did reach my goals in both job, but Inside, I screaming helps me and ready to retired because I am burnouts of working 2 weeks with no day off; when I am off, I have to run errands for myself and my family. I worked on Christmas day and watching my friends deployed on New Year Eve to another battle. I known Soldiers and veterans that killed themselves because they couldn't do these anymore. Thank you for posting" Accept that you are_________don't like it that you have to change it.

I talked to my boss to change my schedule from evening to mornings and to ease the pace of work. I moved back in with my parents and they surrounded me with love, my boyfriend also, and I changed my food into more natural and local one. I could not do sport, it was just much, but walking helped me alot:). The recovery was very long, almost half a year and I wish I did not go trough that, but it was a great life experience too. Thank you for the advices. You are extraordinary! :)

I'm burnt out cuz of stress of school and failing, disappointing teachers,ect. How do u deal with that?I can't take a vacation from school.:(

I’m right in the beginning of it and the doctor just told me ”you’re a smart girl, you should know that your problem lies in your head” .. At this moment I just need time

Yes, I had a burnout 8 years ago. As a result I quit my job and moved to another country.

going through a burnout now and watching your video is very timely. Thank you.

Yes I am in the beginning stages of recovering from my own burnout from overstressing myself about life

I think a period of rest and self-reflection is what helped me the most, as I needed a radical change in direction. I needed sick leave to get to that point, though.

Thank you, your words are such an eye opener, I’ve been having a burn out due to my work, and recently i decided to quit my job. Its time to prioritized my self, my mental health

Good morning Mr Brian, I need you to know that you are amazing speaker and all your ideas and words just stick to my mind because they are great ones, I'm now going through burning out state because the negative people I'm surrounded with, I tried in the past to deal with by staying away for couple of months but the moment I meet them again they just take me back to where I was. So my next plan is to move totally from where I live this way I may meet them literally once a year . Thank u and happy new year

Yes, I had this experience when I worked on cruise ships more than year with very short breaks. It's really terrible for mental and physical health! Be careful. Keep balance in all!

Nature, yoga, swimming and long walks and jogging in fresh air. Ambient music. Meditation. Healing. Love.

Exercise helps me. Just getting out for a walk can be refreshing.

Rn I’m dealing with my first ever burnout, I’m a senior in high school and my classmates and I have been incredibly demotivated since the start of the year due to our teachers lack of empathy/collaboration which lowered our grades exponentially. I no longer feel motivated, even attempting to understand a subject has been hard. I really needed this

Thank you for this. I am a business owner who has worked super hard past three years and was obsessing and always beating myself up for too long. I was always thinking too much about what could go wrong. We have a nice company and I arrived at success and hit a wall because I had neglected my personal life for so long and was under a lot of stress. I also had a back injury which didn’t help which I am almost recovered from now. Long story short I found myself being more tired and not wanting to deal with things, just needed a break and couldn’t get one. Recently I have had really bad anxiety attacks and it was all from the complete exhaustion. I am now on the road to recovering and I am making it a priority to take care of myself and reduce stress. I am changing my way of thinking. There is no need to create extra stress through worry. I know I will get back to a new and improved self, and this is going to make me stronger.

Yes I have felt burnt out and I started working out and joined an online support group.

Thanks so much Brian for your videos! They have always been helping me in stressful moments.

Thank you so much for your great advice! Yes, I am currently dealing with burnout & I have for several years now. Meditation, yoga, rest, massage therapy, exercise (when I can convince myself to) all are very helpful. Diet is helpful & water, as you mentioned.

Its that time of the year again where i try to recover from burnout then give up then try again next year!!

Mom of 3 and career professional has taken a toll. I hit burn out awhile back. My life is a to do list. When it gets to be too much, I daydream of being on an island by myself with no responsibilities. Then I snap out of it and remind myself to be greatful and keep plugging away.

After Severe Burn Out followed by a partial recovery and burn out again I saw the habit and decided to Do Nothing until I felt up to it. Asking what is important and what I wanted to do and started doing it. feeling better but not rushing the process; a new person is emerging.

Thank you for your research and suggestions. After I retired from my day job and a 20 year hiatus form music, I decided to return to arraigning music. I arranged several songs on a cd and soon afterward, was called by several band leaders for arrangements. I went through half of one song and lost creativity. Everyday after breakfast, I sit at the piano but lack inspiration. To date, I have struggled with Burnout for a year. I will try your suggestions and leave whatever improvements I accomplish. Thanks again.

Overthinking, lack of self esteem make me burn out. But the quote from the video, help me a lot to embrace myself

I've been preparing to write my Final exams for close to a year now. What was supposed to be 5 months of intense preparation has instead turned out to be a year long and still continuing sojourn that I have no idea will end when. The exams have already been postponed 4 times and it is likely that it might happen again. Every time I've managed to push myself and gain momentum with my preparation, there's another postponement and that absolutely crushes my motivation. I've come to a point where I simply don't care about my exams anymore and if this continues, I will fail my exams whenever they happen and will effectively waste over a year's worth of hard work. I don't know how to motivate and push myself again to prepare, it just seems like too much at this point.

I'm currently in a burn out. While dealing with the Christmas rush in my shop and handling wholesale orders, I was staying up until 7 in the morning, getting 4 hours of sleep, and repeating. Now that it's all over I'm happily just taking time to reset my sleep schedule, reorganize my workspace, and figure out a new routine that focuses on my health as a priority :)

When I am feeling burnt out I take a break from what is causing the burnout & refocus on another goal I actually can make some headway on to feel like I am still moving forward somewhere in my life. When I am at an impasse with everything at once, thats really tough. Then I just keep at it all a little at a time until something gives. Thanks & Happy Holidays, Mr. Tracy!

I'm experiencing this since 2yrs, it's so exhausted and empty ! I even don't remember when the time I enjoyed the most and just feel myself, surrounding, being thankful and happy....I really want that life back man !

Thank you Sir, for not mentioning how joyfully or successful we will get if we recover from burnout because that would have been a reason for me to stress out as usual.

Exercise, but not overdo it. Nutrition is also important. Lay off sugar, fastfood and caffine. Also, find out what burned you out in the first place. A good tip is to do less at a slower tempo.

Mr Tracy, You are the best. It’s very helpful video. Specially for those who we are hunting our dreams or long term goals.

Yes! I love all of your videos. I aspire to be an amazing speaker such as yourself someday!

Thanks Brian. Especially needed to here this solid advice at this time of year.

yeah, I had been burnout. I push myself to do my hobbies and made good memories with my friends. I started again to love myself and went to my childhood places to recover myself. Thanks for this video. Sir, u look good too.

Thank you so much Brian! Have a great day!

I gave my all, studied at my best ability for around 7-8 weeks of my first semester at university...not only that, but I didn’t see any of my friends since uni started (lockdown because of corona). But I crashed this past week. It’s hard to even get out of bed but I still force myself...awe man, I have 3 more weeks until the winter holiday, I just have to push and push and push despite needing a break so bad

Dear Sir, what you said here, especially about the alignment with values and goals, struck a chord so right that it actually made me smile for the first time in a while. Thank you for the necessary advice.

thank you so much! you were the first, who really help and gave information how to deal with this problem

I am currently in burnout because of insane work processes, temperamental managers and a toxic demanding boss..not to mention the bills that I have to pay and the family that I have to support... oh god I need a long time out

Thanks you Brian Tracy! I just spoke to my boss yesterday about being burned out and I've been given 2 weeks leave. I suddenly can feel all the exhaustion coming down on me - I am going to have a lot of sleep

Yes I have been , I have been watching motivational videos and now as I speak I can feel myself recovering ....💪💪it's making me realise how important self believe is and investing in myself ...🙌🙌

Thank you. I need that change. I am so burned out.

I like this video because it encourages self examination rather than just give a prescriptive list of actions. everyone’s personal circumstances are different and often the cause of burnout is due to something within ourselves not aligned to the environment, or vice versa. the inner work and self examination is a key to most problems in life, burnout included.

Thank you Sir. You seem to be very generous

Thanks for the wisdom and guidance, Brian.

Merry Christmas to Brian Tracy & your whole family! Thank you to teach me so lot!

My reoccurring theme is"from ashes into flame", I care too much for others band try to help to the point I'm burnt out and exhausted. I then lose motivation to complete my own goals and have to recover then correct my path and continue. Rest and lots of sleep, being forgiving of myself for being tired and basically just do nothing and be still. That is the hardest to force myself to relax, rest and recover. I gradually return to my usual activities such as study and social interactions.

A good amount of deals fell through, didn’t stop working since August. So yeah, need a quick break & im back to it !! Thanks

School burned me out of the age of 6. Still trying to recover 🙈

Thank you sir for this video. When I burn out then I always to prefer to watch your video and to read your thoughts, It will always help me to motivating to myself.

I have been burned out from content production for a few months now, and it sucks. It feels like you rock bottom with no chance of recovery. I mess my lines up, make dumb rookie mistakes on camera that I wouldn't otherwise with 25 years of experience in my field. Burnout recovery here we come! TY 4 the video.

A very sweet and helpful video. Taking a leave of absence or vacation is very hard though when you’re a student and cannot afford to 😪

Recently just started a new job and completely overcommited to it. I wanted to make a good impression and impress everyone there with my capability to "take on as much work as possible". Worst part is that I didn't even realize I was overworking myself. I thought that other things in life were causing the issue. I couldn't relax or shut off so I desperately tried to find the solution until I realized that my working schedule, something I spend the majority of my day time with may be causing the problem and I should tune things down by being honest to myself and to my coworkers. I came back to work and explained my situation and fortunately was understood. If not then I certainly would have gone for a new job. For anyone who is suffering from burnout: Know that every feeling is temporary, keep on going and figure out what you've been doing wrong that might be causing the problem. Go easy on yourself!

This is a very helpful video with great advice. Listening to your body and putting aside time for yourself to recover can go a long way. Allowing yourself to recover from burnouts and staying motivated is an excellent way to live full out!

There was a statement by Dale Carnegie, I believe, which was stop worrying about the things you cannot control. This is always the starting point for my burn-out recovery along with a holiday. This allows me to take half a dozen paces away from the "coal face". As once relaxed after a holiday, I find you can focus on the things you can control, once you realise what they are.

I was burnout from pursuing a second degree that conflicted with my values and required me to be someone that I am not and read, write, think and talk about the same things over and over again. I had to admit to myself that the degree was ruining me and I took a pause from the program to clear my head and make sure that I dont want to pursue the degree. I took time to do the things that I value- e.g. getting into nature and taking care of my physical health.

It's been a long time since coming in contact with your knowledge Tracey! I really appreciated this video and found it valuable. I would have to agree that regular exercise, sleep and a healthy diet does go a long way. I think it's the foundation which supports a skyscraper. But I do remember a time when I felt like I was on the edge of burning out dispite following the 3 self care foundations. At that stage to pull myself out I completely kicked coffee out (I noticed coffee although can help me be productive also makes me slightly anxious) then pushed all my tasks through a priority filter. Focusing on only the top 3 task each day which leveraged and solve 70% of the rest of my problems. That really helped me move from being a headless chicken running around being busy. To a calm and creative state which allow me to feel like I'm moving through my day with focus and purpose.

I didn’t really think much of how much I was struggling till I realized, this is a massive issue for me, I’ve been dealing with it for years

Once I started online school I just felt exhausted I didn’t even pay attention I just scrolled on social media mindlessly. Now I’m going back to school so hopefully that will fix everything. And I’ll finally go out more. I’m starting to be more active and not be on my phone as much but it’s so hard. I really am trying but I don’t know for how long I can keep up.

Thank you, mr Tracy.

Thanks for the positive and uplifting messages. You help more people than you know!

I am 19 year old indian who is working on his start up, investing more time on myself and at the same time educating myself at a very high level. Today I had a burnout. Thank you Sir Brian Tracey for clearing my mind.

I’ve been battling with burnout for almost 3 years now and monthly been meeting a doctor while taking meds too. I also to vacation and solo traveling to reflect. But one that helped me a lot also is listening to your videos every day and every morning, especially these days that we are just locked at home most days and there’s so many negative things happening around the world, it’s been really helpful to have a YT channel like yours that focuses on the positive aspect of life. Thank you for sharing your videos and motivations. Hope you continue to inspire more people and wishing you a healthy/ longer life.

I am currently burned out, having a vacation next week after 3 years of nonstop hustling. I have come to realize that what I can give and what is expected of me don't allign. Mediocricy is expected of me and it took me 3 years to realize that. It came in the form fo me doing my best to give out a great quality product that was not appreciated. I did that several times with big projects that didn't have the impact I expected and was not because of the quality but because it was "too much". In time I realized that people in the company I'm working at doesn't have the ability to appreciate it and they ask for more mindless activities from me. That's the misalignment with my values. It is hard for me to do the "bare minimum" and I've caught myself suddenly start to do more than that which ultimately will lead again to my efforts not being appreciated. So I'm trying to see how to reconcile that. thank you for the video

I did more exercises and visualised my life as positive to get rid of burn out.

What a magnificent channel. Thank you so much for your guidance.

Please do a video about being too stressed out and how to get back on track

Thank you so much for your explanations and suggestions!

What helped me recover from burnout is getting to the root of what burned me out. A lot of advice I have received treats surface symptoms, rather than what was really causing me stress.

Brian, this is a wonderful video. This topic is very close to me at the present time in my life. For the last 27 years, I have been in the music industry and for the last 12 years, have ran my own professional jazz studio called Sound 81 Productions. It has been a life that has been rewarding, but has hit a time for self reflection. Recently, I have just accepted that I have reached a burnout point. It was hard to come to terms with and talking with my staff, students, and clients who I'm thankful to have passed knowledge onto and do business with was the hardest. We also become like family. I felt like a failure to them and myself. Teaching others how to build strength in their life, that they can follow their dreams and become successful, and always being the rock for others, I had lacked in my own self care. 2 years ago, I lost one of my mentors I built the studio with. From the time to now, new stress and life issues have built up to a point where what I once loved, became what I wanted to escape. I say this with humility, but I have achieved a level in my career that my work is known and expected to be at a certain level. It hasn't been where it once was because of the constant stress in the environment I am in, and people close to me have noticed and brought it to my attention. I've lived a life giving everything I have to help others achieve their dreams and have no regrets, but I feel stuck. I work with so many young people who are so excited to explore their gifts and be apart of an industry that most people dream of, and it has become difficult to keep this facade on myself that everything is ok in my life. How you described burnout and the advice you gave in this short video turned a lightbulb on. The last few weeks I have started to make plans for a change for my own wellbeing and health. Seeing this video was a sign for me and I appreciate your advice. I'd like to be around in this world for a longtime and know that I must make changes to do that, even if it is changing careers, and/or environments. I have just started my new journey to bring health and wellness back into my life and again, this video hit on everything I have been needing to hear. This is a first for me leaving a long comment on someones video. Sharing this story and typing this comment have already helped make this real and accept this burnout, that it's ok, and I can recover from it as you said. On a positive side, I have started yoga again and regular exercise, have gone back to a healthier diet I once did have, the support from friends and family have been positive, and each day I've allowed myself to be ok with this new life change. I'm only around a month in to recovery from this burnout, but hearing from people like yourself, truly inspires myself and others that it can be done. Thank you for your advice and hope you have a wonderful day.

Taking vacations or leave of absence is kinda of the table when you can't make a living wage off the minimum wage.....

Thank u Mr. Brain Tracy That exactly what I need

Prayer. Limit social media time. Take action; rest is action. But, also do not wallow in your trial.

Thanks Brian ! . some good solid advice .. pure and simple. much appreciated.

The stated goals and values of my previous employer were perfectly aligned with my own when I interviewed for the position, and this was a major factor in accepting their job offer. I turned down better offers for companies who were not as aligned with my own values. In practice the real values of the company ended up being diametrically opposed to their stated ones, which (hindsight being 20/20) should have been evident in the first few months. After four years in the company, I had an hypertension attack and a burnout. I was then made redundant on the fifth year. I have recovered from the hypertension and I'm still working on recovering from the burn out. I really should have left when it became apparent that our values and goals were incompatible.

I suffered from severe burnout and whilst all the methods in this video helped get me back on track I had to go on anti-depressants for 6 months to stabilise my levels again. It was worth it.

The last few years have been a hell. Covid, I'm self employed so keeping the business solvent and all my people working, my dear wife booking way to many jobs in way to short a time period including and at the same time as Covid. These included (deep breath) remodeling the down stairs bathroom, a brand new high priced kitchen, all new flooring that I placed myself as there were NO quality workers during the pandemic. Lastly a giant tree fell in my back yard which was so secluded we could get no machinery near it again I ended up being the machinery. Please note that while extremely handy and detail oriented I'm not a wood worker, mason, plumber nor an electrician. All this horshit left me on the couch daily without the want or the energy to pet my dog (he's a good boy BTW). So what I do to turn it around? I first said screw everything...that didn't work very well and caused huge personal problems. I got my fat ass off the couch started walking twice daily, my dog is my best friend again. I finished and reopened my store the tree came down with help of some folks who really needed cash, being generous is a blessing in and of it's self. the floors got laid and carpets put down, bathrooms and kitchen finished. Lastly I went back to work fired the Wood brothers, Dead and Drift. Hired a new staff (an entirely different story in the time of Covid 19). Epilogue: I'm left with a fully remodeled 30 year old home that we originally built and have now up dated like crazy. A profitable business that m wife and myself are involved with and are proud of, it's a 15 year old extremely successful dog bakery, a new new staff that isn't sucking the life out of everyone around them, and lastly enough energy to not only pet but brush my dog daily. Other benefits the weight gained during this period is coming off, I never shot myself in the head, I still have my dear wife and our thirty year marriage and lastly as I mentioned earlier my ever present dog is my best friend. Stronger, closer in relationships and more savvy when it comes to earning a living. By God's good grace my own work ethic and at times a fair bit of luck I got out of this snake pit. Lastly writing it all down and being able to see it all, assess it all and put the whole shooting match behind me are huge parts of my on going divorce with the couch. I hope someone finds worth and perhaps some humor in my words, good luck.

Online teaching makes me feel burn out. Still trying to find my way out of the burn out.
