The Lights are on but Nobody is Home!
2. WHERE ARE YOU TODAY?
Before we begin please take a moment to
complete the short survey. These will only be
used for your self care purposes not for
anyone else to see.
So…BE HONEST
5. EXHAUSTION
You are drained after a day of work and are
unable to recover your energy even when you
take time off.
6. Depersonalization
Your attitude is negative, detached, uncaring
leading to one becoming cynical about clients
and the work. We often refer to this as
compassion fatigue.
7. Reduced sense of
Accomplishment
Questioning whether what you are doing is
really worth your time
Common Quotes

Type A and overachievers very vulnerable

Risk taking
10. DEGREES OF BURNOUT

11. The COST of Burnout
The response to self care is that it is a luxury
and we just don’t have the time or financial
resources.
Take a moment to think how much it would
cost you financially if you had to take a
medical leave or if you could NEVER do your
job again.
12. Our Current Situation
Look at the Stress and Burnout Questionnaire

15. SET BOUNDARIES
Accept you are only human
To help others you must be well yourself
Refuse to be a part of the 24/7 club
Downtime is a Virtue
What does your life pie look like?
16. Manage your stress before it manages
you!
Accept that stress is inevitable and make a
personal plan for you
Guard your time as you do your money
Money is renewable but time is not
Exercise
Meditation/prayer/inspiration
Hobbies

Time that you spend doing things you love and
that includes absolutely nothing!!!
Take a vacation day and don’t even tell your
family.
Chores will be there when you get back
19. Journaling
Buy a journal
Set aside time
Write about anything that comes to mind:
dreams, goals, successful days, things you are
grateful for
Write out your thoughts and feelings
try not to just vent or catalog events
Keep it private so you can write freely
20. Support each other
Develop your support system of family, friends,
colleagues
Support and care for each other
Say: You look like you are having a bad day let
me do that and you take a break
22. Explore your career options
You are never stuck !
It doesn’t always mean a job change,
sometimes
just a shift can be helpful
23. TIME TO MAKE A REAL PLAN
Think of one thing that you can do EVERYDAY
Think of one thing you can do weekly
Think of one thing you can do monthly
Think of one things you can do yearly
24. ALWAYS REMEMBER…
YOU are the product and only YOU will be able
to allow the permission to take care of YOU!
