How the Brain Impacts Your Burnout: Part 2

This is Part 2, of our 4-part series on How the Brain Impacts Your Burn Out.

In Part 1 of How the Brain Impacts Your Burnout, we talked about the #1 thing you need to do before you make a decision.

When you’re overwhelmed or exhausted, your brain is in the “Away” state, which makes it really difficult to make sound decisions. Ideally, you want to be in the “Toward” state – which has positive emotions like joy, curiosity, excitement, and happiness. When you’re in this state, you’re more creative and collaborative and ultimately, you can make better decisions.

In this part, we’re going to cover how to move into the “Toward” state – a place of possibility and opportunity.

When you’re done watching, see if you can apply this to your life. Let us know in the comments:

1. What comes up for you when I ask you to implement these tactics?
2. Is this something you can try for yourself?

Comment below, and I’d love to give you some feedback / pointers.

Next week, we’ll talk about what triggers you emotionally, and will give you a framework to help you understand what’s most important for you at work.

Looking forward to hearing your comments and questions!
