5 Surefire Ways to Put yourself into Burnout
We’ve seen a huge increase in burnt out people over the last 5 years. 2020 changed everyone in some way. For many people, it was a wake-up call to their own health. We’ve gotten a lot more Total Body Healing HTMA clients that are just completely burnt-out. Lots of low levels of minerals, no energy, no motivation, and a need to really change up the thing in their lives to find more peace and happiness.
There are 5 big things that will put you into burnout, or keep you there- if this resonates with you, I hope you can break out of the cycles so you can start healing!
Number 1: Eat 1200 Calories or less a day
Are you a 4 year old toddler? No? Then why are you eating the same as they do?
1200 calories is the recommendation for a toddler, not a grown adult woman.
Let’s leave these old diet recommendations back in the stone age where they belong please.
You need NOURISHMENT and NUTRIENTS in order to be healthy.
Number 2: Start your day with coffee only
Skipping breakfast is SO 1990s. We know better now.
Gone are the days of chugging coffee and chain smoking to avoid eating.
Now, it’s time to start your day with real food. Eggs, bacon, high protein yogurts, and other real food should be starting your day.
I don’t want to see any cereal, donuts, or toaster pastries in your morning meal!
Number 3: Be obsessed with supplements
All of the most popular supplement trends these days can lead to burnout.
Say WHAT?!
Yup. Too much isolated magnesium will lower your sodium levels, mess with your sodium/potassium ratio, which leads to more sluggish adrenals and a stress metabolism.
Vitamin D supplements lower potassium, which can cause another cascade of changes. Iron and B6 can turn toxic easily. Calcium builds up in the tissues.
Number 4: Keep yourself in stressful situations
No amount of herbs, supplements, or health practices can solve your issues if they are 100% stress related and emotional.
A horrible, toxic job that makes you cry everyday. A partner who you despise or treats you in a way you don’t deserve. A person in your life that is constantly using you for what you can give to them.
If you have these in your life, and you’re constantly looking for ways to fix *yourself*, you’re doing it wrong. You’re not the problem! The stress of your situation is the problem.
Number 5: Never laugh or have fun
I get it- dealing with a chronic illness is stressful, and it can be hard to find joy.
But what if I told you that laughing, fun, and playtime are all great for your health?
They strengthen your immune system AND your nervous system!
Even making yourself laugh with funny videos can help. Find a fun hobby. Play with kids or pets. Have a game night with friends. Do something to break up the monotony of healing.
Bonus: Ignore Foundational Care
Most of us did not grow up with any idea of real health. So it can be hard to know the right way to approach your health!
Foundational care is key. This is basically healing your entire terrain and making it harder for illness to stick around.
