How to Bounce Back from Burnout in 3 Simple Steps | Allan Ting | TEDxWilmingtonLive 

Amazing talk! I'm really so burnt out from being a student

Didn't know how bad burnout could get until this year - absolute dizzying depersonalization and living like a zombie between the work/work balance, no life. It's like the work infects every aspect of your life and consumes it.

Thanks for talking about bournout in such a friendly and cosy way. I've dealing back and forth all year long with it and having a reminder that simple things within my reach can help me trough is motivating.

Thank you Allan for the talk. I’m suffering from burnout. Sometimes I really am afraid I’ll never get my own self back ever. I’ve been on sick leave for 1 1/2 years. I can’t work for more than 10 hours a week it seems - tried that the last 6 months. It feels like most people including Allan use the word burnout for conditions that are more mild than the “clinical term” burnout... or... I don’t know... At least in comparison to his case I must then have extreme severe burnout! I know this talk is made for the very best intensions. But being in the middle of a severe burnout i almost start feeling worse when in try all I can to find someone sharing in details how they slowly managed to bounce back again. When you have burnout you ARE really one your own is the sad truth I seem to have learned. I’ve been working 50+ hours a week for 15 years with joy but got cptsd - narcissistic abuse from my work (narc boss) which made me burned out so much that I had to quit in the end, even though my working place meant the world to me (created most of it myself) but the boss destroyed everything. I’ve given my self the diagnose cptsd. I’ve tried so many things, but it seems like I have not talked to or heard one detailed story about how exactly a person in a position that could be in some way similar to mine got back again. Does online know of a link to someone talking about their journey back again!? Thank you all and thank you Allan

Title is kind of misleading from someone currently going through a bad burnout. More of a how to prevent burnout opposed to a recovery. Not bashing or anything, great talk... Just sharing my thoughts.

What's worse than burnout? Living with people who cannot understand the concept of burnout.

Absolute BS. First, this is NOT recovery, it’s prevention. Second, Allan here was stressed, NOT burnt out. Finally, the fact he says to just “get more sleep” proves he has NO CLUE what burn out really is. Keep searching people and good luck.

I saw this talk first in august 2021 and saved some notes, which revisited today prompted me to re-watch this talk. I just wanted to share my appreciation for such a thing being possible. Thanks for having made, and keeping talks such as this available.

I have a well thought sekf care plan, however, with the job I'm currently in, it's impossible to recover. The only solution, after working there miserably for 6 months, is leaving. No job is worth my sanity.

Part of the problem with burnout is WE CAN'T SLEEP. Honestly, doesn't seem like the speaker knows or understands true burnout where you lie awake most the night despite sleep aids used to STOP the nightmares about the horror that is your job. It has turned me into someone I no longer recognize. The things suggested are things I did a year ago. There is no way to get fired up anymore.

AIR: Aspiration, Integration(work life, balance), Rejuvenation (health: diet, sleep, exercise, social)

i just realized that when we Muslims pray 5 times a day its our mini charge, and since we are supposed to sleep immediately after our last prayer (isha) so that we can wake up for our early morning prayer (Fajr) we must sleep early so we pretty much get our full sleep in! altogether this prevents a Burnout!

I burned out in my job years ago. Mistreatment will do that to ya. I finally vacated my position during Thanksgiving. I'm now "out" and healing. I truly understand what frayed nerves feel like. Not good.

I love when they’re like, “get 7 hours of sleep”. Ok sure. I’ll just tell my insomnia to take a break.

Thanks Allan! I really appreciate your sharing this journey with us. Your three best practices are so basic, and so important! Thanks for the breath of AIR :-)

Nice advice, but not for people who are suffering from real burnout. This is some 101 stuff.

Employees are more and more treated like their job and task is the central part of their life. Like you are on survival mode. It is not. Whenever I am hired on a project I have to spend around 70 hours a week to keep it rolling and still it looks like I'm slacking; so my income is actually less than half I was contracted for. Fight back and make yourself more important than the company your working for, even if you need to walk on bodies for your liberation.

Fantastic talk Allan! Very Inspirational!

AIR: Aspiration: what are you working for? Do you feel it's worth your time and energy, or are you just tossing more coal in the misery engine? (I find this one to be a struggle personally) Integration: you are a multipolar individual who needs to act in multiple spheres. If you make promises in one sphere that take you too far away from another you will suffer. Rejuvenation: a car can't go 65 on the highway forever. Eventually it will need to be serviced to prevent breakdown.

Sometimes a toxic job will keep you in burnout and leaving is the resolution often

Thank you Allan, Nice talk. I’m currently going thru burnout and am trying to stay healthy as it’s making me exhausted. Going to implement the things you spoke about.

burnout as student and also as company employee

As a counsellor I'm required to report to a supervisor to ensure everything is going ok with me. One way I have learned to prevent burnout is to have a space or time for myself, to be able to say "That's enough for today, time for play"

Being a Muslim I feel blessed that our religion has rejuvenation opportunity 5 times a day in the form of Salah prayers in which we strengthen our connection to Allah subhana taala Who is our Creator and feel rejuvenated and content. And one can turn to Allah any time 24/7 Alhumdulillah

Always a great time to take care of your health!

When he said, 'I went to my doctor and guess what he told me', I thought he'd continue with "boy, you'd better try to have fun no matter what you do'

I want to quit my serving job, and stay home and be a fulltime artist so bad. My job has burnt me out beyond measure.

This talk was like a medicine for me.

I've worked over 650 hours of overtime in the last 2 and a half months. I'm extremely burned out. I lose my sleep just so I can spend time with my daughter and my wife because they're the soul purpose I do what I do. I need help

I love you dude you changed my life

This helped a lot,thanks to Ted talk

He just went on, and on, and on, and on...

Love it!!! Fantastically delivered as well… what a lovely man!

I’m burnout and didn’t work for almost a week. (I’m a freelancer so I can take a day off anytime I want)

Thanks for this Talk. Great ideas

Burned out? Try a short break. Didn't work? Take a long break. Detach from your current environment. Travel. Still didn't work? Change your environment.

I’m graduating college in two weeks. The burnout is so real and I can’t imagine going to work ever again, lol. I haven’t had a day off in 3 months, but then I’m off for two and a half weeks

You're the best 👌.This generation of people asolutely need this to know.They are become robots because of the external problems they forgot that we have interal problems too

This dude's got dad swag. Love it.

This is what I needed to hear! Thank you for the great content.

Misleading title, he must be meaning fatigue, since you cannot bonce back from actual burnout, which is a serious state.

Interesting n informative talk. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

Great encouraging talk Allan! Xie-xie ni! :D i will try on yoga, and so now and then tai-chi as well to crawl out of my dark hole called burn-out/depression! Although, my chinese (cantonese) husband isn't helping me much with the kids i think he's struggling as well and being very stubborn about it, do you have any ideas about that? Kind regards, Elena

Burnout: Every Indian Student: first time?

Great speech.

Awesome! Thank you!

4 day work week

Very helpful thank you

Check out “when life works” list from Dr. Sean Stephenson Which is a list of different things that rejuvenates you. When you are struggling with things, you are typically doing less than three of things in your life. This is a good vid but it can feel to generalized for some.

Lovely ted talk

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master. " Robin Sharma. Change is terrifying, even when you know that it is what is best for you a part of you will always fight it. My only advice is to always listen to your gut because at times your heart and your mind will direct you off of a cliff even though you trust them fully. Life reveals it's truth in layers that take time to unfold so don't ever be too certain of what you think that you know to be true because that moment of hubris when you believe that you finally know what's up is the endorphins in your brain firing off to blind you from the pain as an angel clips your wings. Nobody knows that they are falling until they hit the cold hard ground.

He says sleep 9 hours!!! I am burnt out, I cannot even sleep for 4 hours!! Coming up with the AIR and associated terms doesn't make it simple steps, does it?

2:30 The fact that nobody in the room sang out the Sinead OConnor lyrics, this educating our young friend here about American Culture while enjoying a chuckle with the others who would get it in the room is precisely why our society’s depressed. Case closed.

I burned out by overtraining and excessive caffeine,how can i recover from this im depressed for 2 years pls help

so far so good, I seek help. 👍

Burnout sucks, everything become out of control and somewhat depressing, and when we do everything to finish stuff and the outcome is still bad, it really become depressing life, yet everyone in your family only blames you when everything gone wrong, no wonder some people gone insane....

Maybe we could just change the way we work so that burnout just doesn't fuckin happen. Maybe drop working hours from 8 to 5 or 6 hours a day. Maybe paid vacation and parental leave by law. Maybe don't have a work culture where a job is more important than anything else in life. Crime is the best way to thrive in this world.

How to overcome burnout: have people think you overcome burnout without them realizing that you just quit working. Is your mom proud of your new career as a motivational speaker: yes. Do I actually get new cognitive skills in coping with burnout: NO!

Thank you Allan for sharing your experience and advice in your helpful presentation :-)

Why do the HRs of the big companies ask each other instead of asking employees about what THEY need in order not to burn out? Maybe less pressure from above? Less tasks, less stress, more support, more flexibility, more vacation, more employees hired to spread tasks, whatever?

great

Love this! Thanks Allan!!!

I’m having a hard time to stay motivated, my Dream takes doing the same thing for a very Long time a day 9+ hours and now i’m sometimes only pulling 6 which is the least i should be doing Do you people have any tips Have a great day

not everyone got the money to travel but I get the idea

Here are my top 5 #1 Try using the infrared saunas at Planet Fitness and Crunch Fitness to get vitamin D. This will improve sleep #2 Take GNC Ultra Mega supplements (Men or Women formula) #3 Take a spin Class or an exercise that will bring you to sweat. #4 Take an art class even if you are not an artists focusing on something else will help burnout #5 Go to a comedy show and laugh

Has anyone experienced shortness of breath due to burnout?

Dude nice logs

Aspiration, integration and rejuvenation. What happened to those I wonder. Purposeless wandering is what I suffer, still.

Oh my

Student burnout crisis

I recommend to get some money aside, quit the jobs, become selfemployed, and read the book "pumpkin plan".

This was really weak. Does anyone really imagine this advice is novel or useful?

To be honest though, I declare I don't care no more, i'm burning up and out and growing bored.

Amazing!

Not to be rude but so many people experience burn out and if these tips were really helpful, they'd probably have a million views not less.

lol...watching this at 1am because my sleep cycle is messed up from death march project.

I've been in burn or for more than 6 years. This didn't help at all

I got burnout on this video within the first 30 secs.

help me

Bruh, the two shadows tho.

After being a licensed CAM for six years, i am burned out. I can't find help. I'm in a very dark place. Karoshi is taking place.

This is all true. That's why I practice the miracle morning by Hal Elrod

This is unrealistic for a lot of Americans. A lot of us cannot afford to travel or take days off or don’t work for companies who are willing to be flexible enough to let us set boundaries.

Just get new tires and you will be fine

I prefer burnout 2 over 3

👏👏

Part of burnout is irritability and I think this misleading title makes people who are burned out more irritable because they're looking for relief. This is a list of ways to prevent it, not treat it.

nice talk but not helpful if you are currently really experiencing burnout

Goodness , good thing I didn't pay to hear this

I’m so burnt out from swallowing all this hot charcoal

Sorry but I got nothing out of this. The speaker seems like a nice guy.

Huhhh

Nice talk , but misleading, since it is not about burnout. You can' and won't travel then, too knackered.

Generic stuff. Not for people that are burned completely out.

Well, the talk will be of NO help at all for people going through burnout. Having gone through a real one, it needs a much much deeper approach to it. It’s just non sense this video.

I didn’t learn anything haha

It's the yoga and mindfulness. If not you also can do qi gong? why is chinese guy doing yoga? LOLs.

There is no such thing as burnout till you reach age 40

Love it thank you for sharing

What the big companies who are running full speed are doing to avoid burning out their employees.? They are replacing them with fresh workers every 2-3 years.
