#61 - 6 ways to avoid & overcome burnout
Manage episode 372255786 series 2984144
You wake up tired.
Even the smallest task feels burdensome.
You don’t want to pick your camera.
The thought of photography doesn’t feel exciting.
You doubt yourself looking at others moving forward in their creative journeys.
You’re snapping and angry at everyone at home.
You feel tired, frustrated and unmotivated.
If this sounds like you, you might be experiencing burnout.
Photography and blogging might be creative fields but they can be very demanding. These careers not only require our mental energy, constantly churning out creative ideas but also the physical work of cooking, styling, executing photoshoots and editing.
You and I both know how much time and energy it takes for constant content creation for social media, pitching to clients, creating work for ongoing clients, maintaining our business, family responsibilities and so forth.
And the pressure to top it all. There is so much good work out there that we continuously push ourselves to create better and to create more.
We keep stretching that rubber band until one day it snaps.
That's when burnout sets in in full swing.
And repairing that rubber band aka healing and overcoming burnout is a long drawn process.
I’ve been there and I lost 6 months of my creative & personal life.
In today’s episode, I want to share 6 effective ways that can help you come out of burnout.
After many attempts of taking breaks, going on holidays and trying every other thing under the sun, I realized that coming out of a burnout takes a combination of different steps. And it is most definitely not a quick fix.
It takes changes in our creative and personal lives to be able to emerge healthily out of it, without quitting or giving up our passion.
I’m sharing the combination of steps that worked for me and helped me come out of this quicksand, called burnout.
If you’ve been feeling tired and uneasy in your creative journey, watch out for hidden signs of stress and burnout because I call it the black smoke. Burnout creeps in like smoke, you hardly notice it and then it spreads until it completely chokes you. That’s how brutal it is.
If you suspect that burnout might be affecting your passion for photography, don't wait to take action. Remove it for good so that it doesn’t return.
Hope these steps help you ignite your creative spark once again.
