Forget about succeeding without help; you need information about the cause of your burnout and what measures, when, and how much you need to take. And most importantly, you need the support and dedication of a therapist, at least initially.<\/li>\n<li>By changing your attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs (they&#8217;re all the same thing, but it&#8217;s essential that you recognize what&#8217;s going on). Changing beliefs is the spiritual journey of every person, and don&#8217;t shy away from it. If you don&#8217;t address the causes that led to all or just some of the symptoms, you&#8217;ll only mask the problem. You&#8217;ll feel better for a while, and then everything will return.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are some basic pieces of information on how to help yourself if you have burnout symptoms:<br \/>\nFor people in burnout, it&#8217;s essential to eat every 4-5 hours, and each of these meals should include a piece of protein (meat, fish, legumes&#8230;), a piece of raw vegetables, and plenty of cooked vegetables.<br \/>\nIf you can, it would be good to eat soup (meat or vegetable) every day.<br \/>\nSince you&#8217;re overwhelmed with toxins because the nervous system is weakening, consider taking digestive enzymes. High concentrations of magnesium over an extended period will help a lot (consult a doctor, especially if you have kidney problems).<br \/>\nHave you forgotten about fish oil?<br \/>\nIt will provide you with enough omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s enough about supplements for now. In people with burnout, improper use and excessive use of supplements can cause even more harm.<\/p>\n<p>Going to the gym, cycling, and aerobic exercises are undoubtedly a good choice if you have burnout and want to completely destroy yourself. Forget about exercise; you might need a little swimming, gentle yoga, lots of rest. It&#8217;s crucial to go to bed before 10 o&#8217;clock.<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone taught you breathing exercises? If not, it&#8217;s high time you learned.<br \/>\nIt sounds simple. And it is, but you have to incorporate exercises into your daily schedule.<br \/>\nSo instead of exercising &#8211; please, do breathing exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Spirituality and spiritual work are essential for changing our false beliefs that have led us to illness, fatigue, and a loss of meaning.<\/p>\n<p>This cannot be achieved overnight \u2013 that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called &#8220;working on oneself.&#8221;<br \/>\nFind a teacher you like, someone you already have a good opinion of, who seems authentic, honest, and who will be with you, at least in the initial stages of change.<br \/>\nEach of us needs a teacher and a supervisor.<br \/>\nHowever, until you decide, you won&#8217;t even hear or notice your teachers who want to help you and who clearly see your problem and the solution. Like many of you who are not ready for a solution, you did not notice in the first part of the text that I am one of those who help in such situations.<br \/>\nPeople usually decide to change when the water comes up to their neck.<br \/>\nBut by then, you&#8217;re just wasting time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A vrijeme je jedina istinska stvar koju mi ovdje na zemlji posjedujemo.<\/strong><br \/>\nTime is the only true thing we possess here on Earth.<br \/>\nTime is the only thing we can control.<br \/>\nSo, direct your time toward your progress and happiness.<br \/>\nHappiness is the goal and meaning for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t neglect meditation.<br \/>\nToday, it&#8217;s like not brushing your teeth. You know there&#8217;s toothpaste and a toothbrush, and it&#8217;s there in the bathroom, but you don&#8217;t use it?!<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not trendy, it&#8217;s not for others, it&#8217;s for you, and it&#8217;s precisely what you need.<br \/>\nWondering how to meditate? You&#8217;ve tried, but it didn&#8217;t work for you?<br \/>\nMeditating is tough, for everyone, not just for you. But only in the beginning. Afterward, you&#8217;ll barely be able to wait for your meditation minutes and your meditation corner.<\/p>\n<p>Try one of these meditation methods:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Focus on a topic you love and think only about it, breathe deeply, relax your shoulders and lower jaw.<br \/>\n&#8211; Just sit and don&#8217;t bother about being more and more upset; endure 20 minutes with your eyes closed, put your left hand over your right hand and hold your hands in your lap.<br \/>\n&#8211; Try to imagine how you &#8220;pack&#8221; your thoughts &#8211; those that come into a small cloud that you quickly release, which simply travels away from you, and you see it getting farther and farther away from you. Keep a smile on your face all the time, as Ketut would say &#8211; let your liver smile too!<br \/>\n&#8211; You can say sentences that relax you. Some of them are acceptable to most people and cause immediate relaxation and tension reduction: all is well, everything will be fine, everyone loves me, I open my heart and mind, money is coming to me, the ideal job is coming to me, good people are coming into my life, I have enough time\u2026<br \/>\nYou can listen to my meditation. You can listen to a series of meditations on YouTube.<br \/>\nJust start.<br \/>\nHow many times have you fallen while learning to ride a bike?<br \/>\nEvery learning process is challenging.<br \/>\nJust start. Now.<\/p>\n<p>Are you constantly postponing the decision?<br \/>\nTo make it easier for you to decide, I have created a set of questions called the Mulier compass that will make your decision easier.<\/p>\n<p>When you decide on something, ask yourself the following questions, and you will see if it&#8217;s the right decision for you or if you&#8217;re distancing yourself from yourself. Listen to your heart &#8211; what does it say &#8211; is it a good decision?<br \/>\nBut there&#8217;s one exception.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of meditation, I will answer for you &#8211; the answer is positive to each of the questions below.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Does meditation stabilize or destabilize me = stabilizes<br \/>\n&#8211; Does meditation increase or decrease my energy = increases<br \/>\n&#8211; Does meditation strengthen or weaken me = strengthens<br \/>\n&#8211; Does meditation calm or disturb me = calms<br \/>\n&#8211; Does meditation increase or decrease my self-esteem = increases my self-esteem and self-confidence<br \/>\n&#8211; Does meditation connect or separate me from people = connects me because it breaks down barriers<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now answer these questions for yourself:<br \/>\n&#8211; What&#8217;s preventing me from doing this?<br \/>\n&#8211; What fear is associated with it, and how can I overcome it?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s essential to know that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You ALWAYS have a CHOICE<\/li>\n<li>The DECISION is YOURS<\/li>\n<li>CONSISTENCY is a significant VIRTUE and solves many life dilemmas and problems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, only now, when you&#8217;re already meditating, can you think about changing your attitude. But if you&#8217;re going to change your attitudes without meditation&#8230; you&#8217;re not on the right path. It&#8217;s like buying new furniture for a room full of dust and old stuff.
