Burn-out, no not that kind of burnout, is the byproduct of modern society and ancestral body responses.
I worked myself into the ground in my 20's, I would feel like a failure if I did not give everything 400% effort and say yes to everyone and everything. All of that caught up with me in my late 20's. I have a strong suspicion that the chronic pain that developed at age 28 has a lot to do with mental and physical stress. Combine that with anxiety, I have been to afraid to make large changes to address this. As a consolation, I have learnt so much about depression and anxiety and how that interacts with the pain response.
This Podcast about burn-out is worth a listen. It delves into what burn-out is, why it develops and how it is created in the body.
Burnout with Connor Franta -
"Burnout: You’ve read about it. You’ve heard about it. Heck, you’re probably living it. And you’ve probably tried everything to fix it. Levels of burnout are reaching new all-time highs, every single day. And the pandemic has only made things worse. This new series, hosted by Connor Franta, looks into how society reached a burning point and what we can do - really, actually do - to break the cycle. With his signature wit and charm, Connor explores the story of burnout, discovers how it affects your body and mind, and looks at why the easy solutions simply won’t work to solve a systemic problem."
