Recently I have been experiencing burnout. I was very lazy. I didn't want to do anything. I only wanted to sleep and lie in bed although I couldn't fall asleep. I lost the spirit of what I was doing. I didn't enjoy doing the things I was excited about as I had used to. I guess the reasons could be because I was too excited about the goals that I had set for myself and the fact that I tried to do all those things at the same time. Hence, it only ended up making my performance decrease which I was not satisfied with. Luckily, I realized that about myself early. How? I am a low-maintenance person as little things can easily cheer me up. So, I started to notice that something is not right when I didn't enjoy watching any movie/drama which I have always. My enthusiasm toward learning stuff was gone. I didn't want to go out and I avoided people. But again, it could also be because of the change in weather. It's getting cold these days. So what did I do? I am taking a walk these few days. I am turning up the podcasts and I wrote a lot of things. I cooked and bought myself a lot of good food. I also tried reading but I couldn't concentrate so that didn't work. The evening walks and some good podcasts help. I am getting better. I need to watch out for myself more and probably need to slow things down a bit. I think it's been almost a month. I guess I was quite occupied in the previous month thus made me rush to catch up with stuff and hurry. Well, just on a side note, we have to win that temporary feeling and there is always a little voice inside us whispers and reminds us that we could push ourselves to do something to get out of the dark situation. I am not fully back on track but knowing the early sign is a good step already. Cheerrrrr & this too shall pass ^^
