What's your "malaise"?
Burnout by volume - busy schedule and no downtime, "The busier I am, the more important I become".
Social burnout - constant interpersonal demands, "The more I give, the more people like me".
Burnout by boredom - lack of interest, "What's the point?".
All three come from a place of not being good enough.
Mindset is a set of beliefs and attitudes that influence how we think, feel, and act.
It can be helpful, "I'm not here to prove myself but to grow and contribute", or unhelpful, "I'm a fraud, so I need to work harder".
As social creatures, we're influenced by the people around us (family, community and society) and their mindsets.
Are unhelpful mindsets a contributing factor to burnout?
