Burnout Quotes

“When emotions turn and stay sour, when thoughts become cynical and judgmental, good and compassionate treatment is on the line. Helpers who become sour and cynical tend to begrudge their high need clients for their neediness. There is a risk that helpers become too well-practiced at taking a bleak view of those they have avowed to assist. There is a temptation to begin to blame clients for their failure to improve. If treatment ends pre-maturely, with either a client never returning to treatment or a helper 'firing' them out of frustration, there is a tendency for the client to take the fall. Of course what we are talking about here are signs of burnout.”

“As a manager, you have the potential to create a fire—passion—in others, but to do this, first, we have to create a spark. Think of the Fourth of July. People gather to watch the sky light up with beautiful fireworks. It’s fun watching a child gaze into the dark sky to see it light up with a spectrum of colors. And how much fun are sparklers, right? From sparklers to rockets, fireworks have one thing in common—they start with a spark. They are ignited! This spark allows each firework to leave the ground and explode, and thereby create joy for all those watching. Sometimes fireworks are beautiful, but if not done correctly they can just fizzle out. Consider yourself a pyro-technician of people. A pyro-technician is the person responsible for the safe storage, handling, and functioning of fireworks and some explosives. As managers, you are in charge of the safe storage, handling, and functioning of the people you supervise. The fireworks you see will be displayed in your employee’s attitudes. When an employee is fizzling out, we call this burnout and it can happen to any employee, even yourself. You need to be able to recognize it.”

“Cada época possui suas enfermidades fundamentais. Desse modo, temos uma época bacterológica, que chegou ao seu fim com a descoberta dos antibióticos. Apesar do medo imenso que temos hoje de uma pandemia gripal, não vivemos numa época viral. Graças à técnica imunológica, já deixamos para trás essa época. Visto a partir da perspectiva patológica, o começo do século XXI não é definido como bacteriológico nem viral, mas neuronal. Doenças neuronais como a depressão, transtorno de déficit de atenção com síndrome de hiperatividade (TDAH), transtorno de personalidade limítrofe (TPL) ou a síndrome de burnout (SB) determinam a paisagem patológica do começo do século XXI. Não são infecções, mas enfartos, provocados não pela negatividade de algo imunologicamente diverso, mas pelo excesso de positividade. Assim, eles escapam a qualquer técnica imunológica, que tem a função de afastar a negatividade daquilo que é estranho.”

“Hoy es el día Mundial de la salud mental materna. En mi tesis del Máster cité un estudio científico que postula que de cada diez madres dos sufren de síndrome de burnout materno que es el resultado de estrés crónico que provoca la crianza de los hijos. El agotamiento emocional es una de sus variables más potentes. De las ocho restantes seguro la mitad se encuentra con estrés ya sea por las excesivas demandas del rol, por problemas de pareja, por no poder conciliar familia/trabajo remunerado, porque no alcanzan las horas del día, por la fatiga y dormir poco, por el aislamiento, por la falta de hombro en el que apoyarse. La salud materna es IMPORTANTÍSIMA porque una mamá estresada, deprimida, con ataques de pánico o ansiedad no puede ni con ella misma, ¿cómo podrá con sus hijos? ¿Quien cuida a la madre agotada? ¿Y a mamá quien la sostiene? ¿Y a mamá quien la contiene? ¿Que hacer? visibilizar hasta encandilar”

“Helpers carry a heavy load, they listen, love, cry, and often go into the depths of others’ pain. They sometimes enter darkness that no person should have to step into: the darkness of the abuse of a child, of mental health, of our cultural propensity to sit back and do nothing about it. They bear this each day.”

“Fighting for something you believe in isn't easy. If you hit a sore spot, people are going to swipe at you, gripe at you, try to undermine you, infuriate you, try to shut you up and put you back in your box. I was starting to learn that was a sign you were asking the right questions, picking the right scabs. And though it's easy to lose yourself along the way, and start focusing on all the people who don't want things to change--for whatever broken, messed-up reasons of their own--you can easily find your way back. By listening to the people giving you a hand up. To the people who have your back. To the people who don't think you're a raving lunatic. Let them be your mirror--not the haters. Let them give you the strength to get the job done.”

“Success is the ability to meet worthy goals, but it's also the ability to love and have compassion and the ability to get in touch with your creative center, to transform yourself toward more peaceful and just pursuits. I hope we redefine success. Otherwise, we'll see more of what we're already seeing - more aggression, more burnout, more Wall Street scandals, more war, more terrorism, more eco-destruction.”

“Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports. It's ironic because millions of people who swim as their regular exercise love the meditation aspect of it; you don't wind up with any orthopedic injuries. But when you swim at a world class level for hours and hours - the loneness of the long distance runner.”

“Don’t just climb the ladder of success - a ladder that leads, after all, to higher and higher levels of stress and burnout - but chart a new path to success, remaking it in a way that includes not just the conventional metrics of money and power, but a third metric that includes well-being, wisdom, wonder and giving, so that the goal is not just to succeed but to thrive.”

“Sin does not always drive us to drink; more often it drives us to exhaustion. Tiredness is equally as debilitating as drunkenness. Burnout is slang for an inner tiredness, a fatigue of our souls. Jesus came to forgive us all of our sins, including the sin of busyness. The problem with growth in the modern church is not the slowness of growth but the rushing of growth.”
