Not balloon related. I'm sure most of are the same in that we are hard working people just trying to make ends me. Occasionally we suffer from burnouts from working so so hard. My question is has anyone ever experienced a burn out and found a remedy?

Re: Burnout remedies
yes, medication, a decent physician and possibly a different job if the employer is the source of trouble. demanding a system change that you dont need 3 jobs to make ends meet might also be a valuable undertaking.
After I swiched the employer i recovered very fast , well fast for that kind of sickness... and dont feel bad it is a part of the system as it is that people are literally used up and burned for a few extra promille of profit... well and of course some bosses are simply sociopaths that is an additional obstacle. -
Re: Burnout remedies
Several years ago I suffered a burnout. What helped me out of it was aroma therapy and a mindfulness training. Especially with mindfulness training I learned how to deal with high pressure and saying "no" to somebody else when you are already busy with stuff.Comment

Re: Burnout remedies
Yes, you need to get out in to nature every day. Chemicals in plants & the soil have a positive effect on wellbeing. I try to go out for a walk most days & it really helps. Much better than popping pills, anyway. I also endulge in my favourite hobby of building models which helps hugely

Re: Burnout remedies
honestly I've just been taking walks when something stressful comes up, but not to make it much about inflatables, but being able to touch them and hug them can also be a pretty good stress reliever!Comment

Re: Burnout remedies
Walking in nature is great for stress relief. The moderate physical exercise helps regulate mood stabilising chemicals in the body and being in nature can, by itself also have the same effect. Meditation is a great thing to learn too, and can be applied to lots of situations. Mindfulness techniques too. Even something as simple as setting time aside for a 30 minute soak in the bath, away from everyone else can be a way to literally and metaphorically wash away the days stresses.Comment

Re: Burnout remedies
I like plastic model kits, Airfix, Tamiya, Revell, etc. I used to build a lot of aircraft, but currently am in to Takom 1/16 scale tanks. I sometimes do model railway type buildings in platic and card kits. I get so engrossed in them, I forget about anything else, that is bothering me and time just flies. On a typical Saturday night I can start working on them at around 9:00 pm and not stop until 2:00 am.Comment

Re: Burnout remedies
I've just bought my house and am going to build a model railway in one of the rooms. It's been a geeky dream of mine to have a model railway since I was a kid and its exciting planning it all out. I've started building a card kit church to get a feel for it and I'm having such a great time. Its really relaxing once you get into the zone with it

Re: Burnout remedies
I will be building in N gauge. I have bought 3 engines already and will be using DCC control as its easier to run multiple engines that way. I am actually uncertain how to add pics here haha
Our builders/decorators will be renovating the house throughout March so I envision starting building my layout in May once everything settles down. I am really excited (even more than actually buying my house).Comment

Re: Burnout remedies
Yeah burnout sucks. As others have said, try getting out into nature. There really is something about it that kind of resets things and sometimes it has this crazy way of making your problems seem miniscule in the moment.
Also, a bit more controversial I'm sure, but it works. I like to drop a couple grams of shrooms from time to time
Maybe once every 3 or 4 months. It works like you wouldn't believe. I've heard people describe it as 10 years of therapy compressed into 6 hours. Obviously you'd need to do your own research. It's definitely not one size fits all. But there are places you can go now in a more professional setting, all legal if disobeying politicians isn't your thing.Comment
