No matter how terrifying a ceaseless wave of carnivorous corpses may be, it pales in comparison to something that can rip the life out of you without so much as a claw or tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I can say all of this is accurate because I’ve gone through exactly what Akira did. I put in ungodly hours at a job that didn’t fulfill me. I worked sun-up to sun-down because I wanted to make sure I was contributing enough to those around me, and put the people, activities, and simple pleasures that made me happy on the back burner. This all led to me being so burnt out I was a shell of who I used to be, and didn’t find joy or hope in anything I did anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was only after I left my job entirely that things finally started to get better. I was able to see past the endless grind of a dead-end job, and realize I could exist without working myself intro the ground in the name of results or productivity. Even then, I still had nightmares about being stuck in that state again, and am still haunted by the thought of ever getting stuck in that state again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time though, Zom 100 offers a positive view on overcoming Burnout. Though it might not be immediate, one can overcome it slowly but surely, taking the time to do the things that make one happy. It could mean cleaning up one’s room after months or years of neglect; enjoying a beer outside of business obligations; or planning a trip to see some family one hasn’t seen in forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will this immediately make one’s issues caused by Burnout better? maybe not, but it will set them on the way to overcoming it. Even if Burnout is scarier than any zombie ever could be, it’s just as possible to overcome, and to reach a happier ending waiting beyond it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
