00:00:43:21 - 00:01:07:04

I want to talk to you about five key signs that you were burned out because a lot of people right now are experiencing a tremendous amount of burnout. And I think this is not just because of how demanding some of our daily lives can be, but also how much pressure there is from so many different circumstances that are taking place right now around the world and how we tend to pour so much responsibility onto each of our individual plates.

00:01:07:04 - 00:01:25:28
Thais
And we tend to have a lot of responsibility at this time. So I want to go through five really important signs that you can look out for and wherever you see yourself struggling. This is a great place out of these five major parts to dial in to really create healthier habits, a better relationship to this area of your life and what's taking place.

00:01:26:11 - 00:01:43:21
Thais
And if you want to do a deeper dive into this, we have an overcoming self-sabotage and procrastination cause it gives a tremendous amount of tools for like why we procrastinate, why we experience all sabotage, and the same tools we talk about in relationship to our needs. The fact burnout in general. And you're going to hear why at the end of this video.

00:01:43:28 - 00:02:02:21
Thais
So very first sign is that you feel irritable. Much more often than you would like to. Irritability is a great sign to show us that we're burnt out. We can be irritable for reasons other than burnout, of course. But if there's this sort of like pervasive irritability that's taking place in your life on a regular basis, it's usually because you're feeling overwhelmed.

00:02:02:21 - 00:02:23:05
Thais
Your needs are not met. You're sort of like, what's what's the expression? It's like wearing the candle at both and burning the candle at both ends. And so, you know, whenever you're in a place where you're not getting recharged and not getting replenished and then you have a tremendous amount of output that's required, you're going to see that running on empty leaves you feeling irritable.

00:02:23:23 - 00:02:43:15
Thais
Number two is that you actually feel exhausted. And so those people, when they're in a chronic state of burnout, especially if they, like, have a lot of pressure to push ahead. Sometimes you don't even realize how exhausted you are because you have so many different coping mechanisms. For example, you drink five cups of coffee per day. You're used to running on just pure adrenaline.

00:02:43:15 - 00:03:04:13
Thais
But if you actually pay attention to your body and how you're showing up, you'd see that if you relax for 5 minutes, you'd pass out right away. You just fall right to sleep. Or you may see that without stimulants like caffeine or things like that green tea all the time, whatever it might be, You lecture a lot more tired than you realize and it shows and sort of communicates you an imbalance that's taking place.

00:03:05:01 - 00:03:24:23
Thais
Number three is that you start experiencing extreme resistance to tasks. You find yourself really procrastinating. Wait until the last minute, feel like you're in crunch time. So perhaps like trying to distract yourself all day with things other than what you're supposed to be doing. And when you're in that space, then you finally get to the thing that you are doing.

00:03:24:23 - 00:03:51:13
Thais
You feel so depleted by actually all the energy you use, just avoiding the thing itself. And this is actually because that takes energy. So when our conscious mind intends one thing and our subconscious mind has a different set of needs that are really unmet, our conscious mind will try to drive us towards the task. So for example, an assignment you have to do for work or a project you have to turn in and your subconscious will be trying to pull you toward this unmet needs and you'll find yourself sort of caught in that distraction phase.

00:03:51:13 - 00:04:10:00
Thais
And usually whatever you're cheating on your task with, whatever you're distracting yourself with actually represents and is sort of the container of your subconscious mind needs in some form. So an example could be maybe you have to type up a big report, but then your subconscious mind keeps watching videos about people or human behavior. It's like, okay, what does that bring to you?

00:04:10:05 - 00:04:33:07
Thais
What is what are those videos that you're watching represent? And if it's like human behavior, maybe you missed emotional connection in your life, social connection, community. You know, it's showing to your unmet needs. If you're watching like cat videos, oftentimes that's like comfort security. Like we as human beings, we tend to find stability and security and comfort in like, you know, videos of pets or things that are cute or sweet.

00:04:33:13 - 00:04:56:15
Thais
So it's usually like this extreme resistance, actually, whatever. You're cheating on your task with when you're in that resistance phase actually represents unmet needs that if you met more directly or had space for meeting more directly, that would actually be how you recharge and like sort of recharge your batteries. You could go back out into the world. And when I say meet more directly, I mean like actually go and spend time doing something social.

00:04:56:15 - 00:05:14:05
Thais
If that's your unmet need as opposed to trying to get that need met from behind a computer screen by watching a video or, you know, actually bring more comfort into your life on a daily basis by intentionally having habits to And he's trying to get it through watching a cat video. So it's showing me and showing to us what our unmet needs are.

00:05:14:08 - 00:05:38:28
Thais
And that's why the course I mentioned that actually like helps you unpack all of that and understand like why we get pulled in one direction. But that friction we have between our conscious and subconscious mind, when our conscious mind is like, do the project, do the task, and the subconscious is like, Oh, all that friction. That's actually because it's like your conscious and telling one being subconscious and putting another and that it's this push pull battle that's going on energetically from your emotional space.

00:05:38:28 - 00:07:34:13
Thais
And so it really can, can affect us and it can feel tiring just to procrastinate at times. Number four is that you don't have healthy habits in your life. So this is a great sign that you may be burnt out instead of just being lazy. I don't even like the term lazy. Lazy usually means that we're just out of relationship to our purpose and what our needs are, and we're living out of alignment there, which is sort of my next one's a little bit into that in a second, or that we just we're in a space of being burnt out a lot of the time and so we don't have healthy habits in our lives.

00:07:34:13 - 00:07:58:06
Thais
What you'll see is like we don't get the opportunity to recharge and what we don't know what our needs are as people, then it's really hard to properly recharge as well because I'm just going to end up doing like whatever everybody around me is doing or whatever is normal to do or whatever I'm conditioned to think I should be doing instead of what actually recharges me based on understanding my personal needs, how they work, and when I can fill those cups, fill those buckets of my personal needs.

00:07:58:06 - 00:08:18:09
Thais
That's what fulfillment is. It's like I feel fulfilled, I feel filled up and the things that are most important and and purposeful for me and meaningful to me. And that's when I bring my sense of being recharged into everything I'm doing on a on a daily basis in life. So really important to recognize that. And that brings me to number five, which is you don't know what your needs are, and they're actually unmet.

00:08:18:09 - 00:08:48:07
Thais
If you look at your daily life and if you were to observe your daily life and activities from a space of knowing your needs, you'd be like, Oh, my life and my life experiences and commitments are not conducive to meeting these needs. So let's say, for example, for myself personally, so many of my needs are related to personal growth, emotional connection, career growth, things that like I get to do what I love doing right, and so I naturally can do a lot more and lose my feeling of like energy a lot less.

00:08:48:07 - 00:09:06:09
Thais
It still, of course, it's going to happen to anybody when we have different needs, or we can just be purely physiologically tired. If we've been running all over the place and doing many things. But you'll actually see that your your bandwidth for productivity speeds up or sort of expands, I guess is a better word when we're living in alignment with the things that actually recharge us.

00:09:06:19 - 00:09:26:07
Thais
And so when you don't know what your needs are, sometimes we live this life. We're like, that would be like me. And this is an example I often use, but it's like, that would be like me if I had to work in like an isolated place where I'm like typing stuff up and it has nothing to do with personal growth or people or emotional connection or anything like that.

00:09:26:20 - 00:09:45:05
Thais
And if there's no growing element as well, because career growth, personal growth, all these sorts of things are so important to me. So, you know, I would go into work and though I might be doing less, I'm going to be a lot more tired at the end of 40 hours of work each week than I would be doing like 50, 55 hours of work that I do for what I'm currently doing.

00:09:45:15 - 00:10:01:09
Thais
And so, you know, you'll see that huge difference. And I'm sure most of you can relate to this in some form because everybody's had a job where it really went against their personality needs for a period of time. And usually it's like, Oh my gosh, it's almost exhausting just to know that you have that job to go to the next morning on a daily basis.

00:10:01:09 - 00:10:25:07
Thais
So, you know, you can see that difference. And it's really exciting to know that like our needs have such a massive impact and we can actually sort of like hack that equation once we understand ourselves. So if you want to do a deeper dive into that called procrastination and self-sabotage. But we talk about your subconscious personality needs. There's a questionnaire that helps you actually get to the bottom of what they are personally and then line up your life with actions and strategies to get into that place and also how to unpack.

00:10:25:07 - 00:10:52:00
Thais
Like when you're procrastinating or resisting, how to create changes, you disrupt that cycle and then have habits to get those needs met that you're cheating on your task with. On a daily basis and understanding what that actually means for you and what procrastination sort of golden nuggets are in there, right? Like what? That's actually communicating to you at a subconscious level and when we can unpack that and then create alignment, then really cool things can happen and we can get a lot more out of our day, our lives, etc..

00:10:52:11 - 00:11:09:01
Thais
