Burnout Recovery Without Quitting Your Job

You don't need to quit or take a sabbatical. You need to rebuild your nervous system's capacity - and that starts with small resets.

Burnout looks like:

  • You're going through the motions but feel nothing - no joy, no satisfaction
  • Even small tasks feel monumentally difficult
  • You dread Monday before the weekend even ends
  • Rest doesn't help - you wake up as exhausted as you went to bed
  • You snap at people you care about
  • You've lost interest in things you used to enjoy
  • You fantasize about quitting but can't afford to

Why Rest Alone Doesn't Fix Burnout

Burnout isn't just tiredness that needs more sleep. It's nervous system depletion - your body's stress response system has been running too hot for too long.

That's why a weekend getaway or even a vacation doesn't fix it. You come back feeling briefly better, then crash right back into exhaustion.

Real recovery means rebuilding your nervous system's capacity to handle stress. And that doesn't require quitting - it requires consistent, small resets throughout your day.
