Burnout has become a widespread disease that affects more and more people. But you can not only act when you are already in a burnout, but also preventively.

There are some things you can use for yourself to make yourself STRONG against burnout. For burnout prevention I have developed my own formula, which supports you to take care of yourself.

Because, yes, employers also have homework to do at this point, which I have described in Burnout Prevention at Work, but you can also protect yourself.

Burnout prevention is not the task of one party, but by working together we can put Burnout in its place.

Yes, as with Burnout itself, it is important that you admit to yourself that you need to take action. That you are not just STRONG by itself.

Because let’s be honest, each of us feels stress at times. And if you look at the exhaustion spiral of Unger and Kleinschmidt then one point or another from phase 1 is certainly familiar to us.

There is no shame in working on yourself!

The very first thing we have to do is to find out what triggers stress in us. Namely, the positive and negative stress. What are trigger? Is it for example the bad comment from your colleague, or the extra task you got. Or is it things like the noise from the street when you are lying in bed at night, or your partner who is always doing xy. All these can be triggers. As a small support for this you can download a list of possible stress factors.
