Are You In Dysfunctional Burnout? Burnout is increasingly common. People feel stuck, lost, emotional, frustrated and indecisive and don’t know why. They want to quit their jobs or feel unexcited about life but don’t know which direction to go. They no longer trust their decisions. They think they are the problem – but usually, it is their environment, life, career, or groups that are not correct for them. Much like when a plant starts to wilt, we try to fix the conditions. We cannot ‘fix’ the plant. So if you’ve been struggling with your self-wellness, let’s do a quick check-in. These 12 questions are designed to gauge your level of energetic burnout and highlight the areas that might need attention (it only takes a few minutes). 1. Describe your general energy levels: Some people cannot maintain progressive energy throughout day; they have energy cycles, sometimes experiencing high energy, followed by low or zero energy. They often stay in constant burnout because they don't maximize their rest period, or perpetuate mental burnout by feeling shame, guilt or 'lazy' when they rest. I regularly feel energized, especially to do things I enjoy I have periods of high energy, then completely lose all energy I regularly feel burnout, exhausted, zapped, sluggish, dull or too unmotivated to do anything None 2. Rate your emotional experiences: There are two main types of emotional gifts: Empaths – people who feel, read or absorb the emotions of others & can get quickly feel overwhelmed when someone flairs upEmotional Beings – people who feel emotions deeply, can resonate with another's experience, or be moved to emotional creativity or flair I get thrown around by emotional moods & often feel emotionally overwhelmed I am usually balanced but occasionally have wild swings I understand how to manage my emotions & how to detach from others None 3. How many people know the real you? Not many, I am too self-conscious how others perceive me and have been rejected in the past Some people see my true side but not many understand or accept the real me, so I often mask I am a superstar, people love me, I love me None 4. When you get a deadline, email, or new task you: Your reaction gives insight into your nervous system response and anxiety levels, which can be triggered by fixed tasks, deadlines, or an inability to manage time. Leave it for later… you’re busy right now Start mentally planning how you can get it done Do it straight away or can’t stop thinking about it until it's done None 5. Do you often get stuck in catasrophizing or fearful thinking? Some people are highly detail orientated, which can be great when used in the right situations. When left unused, it can cause havoc on creating horror movies in the mind. Nope, my inner voice is my best cheerleader! I sometimes get stressed over so many details, doubt myself, or fear how things will turn out I stress over everything that could go wrong, lament my disadvantages, or never feel good enough None 6. When you have streams of ideas, you: filter through them and act on the best ones Start many ideas or projects, but then never finish them Get overwhelmed, overstimulated, indecisive, shut-down and never take action None 7. How would you describe your ability to stick to goals? Some people do not function with strict goals and structured planning. They require loose goals and flexible planning. If you use the wrong goal-setting style, it can trigger procrastination, low motivation, and task avoidance. I can easily discipline myself to stick to new goals I can stick to some goals, but struggle with consistency I try so hard but I struggle to discipline myself, start procrastinating, or instantly don't want to do it None 8. What's your communication style? I am a natural talker and good listener I speak up, but sometimes feel vulnerable or back down if someone disagrees I don't speak up often, plan and over-analyze what I say, overshare, or it comes out wrong None 9. Rate your overthinking: I think a lot but it is ordered and helps me process my day, ideas and thoughts I love analyzing, rationalizing & triggering new ideas but I struggle to stop sometimes My mind races with a million jumbled thoughts, ideas streams or thought loops... help None 10. What is your focus style? I can easily ignore distractions and focus on what I need to I see-saw between procrastination and getting lost down a rabbit hole for hours I have short focus, squirrel brain & bounce around too much to get much done None 11. How do you feel after socializing? It exhausts me for days, I feel a rollercoaster of emotions & I over-analyze everything I feel wired and tired; it can take hours to calm down or decompress I go about my day or fall straight asleep None 12. When you enter a room, you: Instantly feel overwhelmed by a barrage of energetic and sensorial sensitivies You can sense people's thoughts, emotions or feelings, or what's not being said Feel energized and ready to mingle None 13. Which description fits you best? It's hard to be you – you don't really succeed at anything, have many disadvantages, or too many debilitating factors Deep down, you know you have gifted potential and are a high-performer in some areas... if you could only manage it You are highly gifted, intelligent, creative or intuitive, and you use these gifts daily in your life, career or business None 14. Decision-making makes you feel: Most people are not designed to make fast decisions; they get stressed if they don't have time to process various feelings about the decision, ponder options, and return to an idea over time. Stressed, anxious, and then I worry I made the wrong decision I can make fast decisions, my gut or intuition is strong I often struggle to get clarity and make confident decisions None Name Email Time's up The Self-Activation Checkin
