Burnout is the fallout of excessive emotional stress and a lack of restorative self-care. It’s the equivalent of a runaway diesel engine—overheated, overworked, and on the brink of collapse. Imagine driving your car at 90 mph for 300,000 miles without an oil change or any other maintenance. Eventually, the engine will seize up, unable to function. Likewise, a fire that burns too hot won’t last the night.

Emotional burnout can feel like a barren wasteland—scorched earth where nothing seems capable of growing again. You might feel like a shadow of your former self, a hollowed-out shell of who you used to be. It’s an exhausting and disheartening state, leaving you drained of energy and inspiration. While there are many approaches to recovering from burnout, mindfulness stands out as one of the most effective and accessible tools in your arsenal.

Change often feels like a firestorm—intense, chaotic, and overwhelming.
