Reader, before I talk all about mental fatigue and how to combat burnout, I have an exciting opportunity for a few of you on this list.

This has not been announced ANYWHERE yet as I want to give you on this list the chance to secure a space.

I'm launching a BRAND NEW program which kicks off 5th September.

Presenting: The 1% Mental Movement.

This is an intimate coaching process designed for leaders and entrepreneurs to conquer their habits, elevate their performance and raise their standards.

Full details are at the bottom of this email.

Have you ever experienced mental fatigue or burnout Reader?

The constant work-life battle rather than work-life balance.

The demands of high-stakes decisions, constant problem-solving, and relentless pressure.

The recognition of dangerous patterns occurring but no time or energy to change them.

This can drain your mental reserves, leading to burnout and a significant drop in performance.

Here are some clues you're burnt out or fatigued:​
→ You're always tired, even after rest
→ You’ve lost passion for what you love
→ Decision-making feels like a chore
→ You’re irritable, even with small things

Mental fatigue is the silent killer of productivity [and wellbeing].​
​
Business leaders and entrepreneurs are at high risk.
​
It doesn’t happen overnight.
The truth is; you never see it coming.
But you know deep down where you're heading.
It creeps up slowly, then hits hard.
​
But when it happens, you'll feel like even doing basic chores are hard.
​
Your mind and body are trying to tell you something.
​
Listen before it's too late.
​
Recharging isn't the answer → prevention is.

I've run myself into the ground many times...working late, sacrificing my good routines and not listening to my body.

It's the most debilitating thing because you can't quite put your finger on why you feel like this.

3 Myths & 3 Truths About Mental Fatigue & Burnout:

Myth #1: "Burnout only happens to those who aren't resilient and can’t handle stress."

Myth #2: "You can't prevent or avoid mental fatigue or burnout."

Myth #3: "If you power through, you'll come out of the other side stronger."

The above statements are actually current beliefs of many 'busyness' people.

Let's look at the truths to open up your perspective...

You don't have to keep working yourself into the ground to get the most out of yourself...trust me I've been in the ring with burnout many times.

Truth #1: The most resilient people still feel stress and are susceptible to burnout, if not sometimes more often because they are also the people who may think they can just keep working through it.

Truth #2: You can prevent it, you can avoid it, but not purely by working less.
You do have to be better at prioritising the biggest levers that aid your health & wellbeing. Prevention looks different for everyone but below are 4 ways I personally find most effective.

Truth #3: Working harder, caffeinating yourself to the moon in order to power through mental fatigue and burnout is like trying to sniff your way through a cocaine addiction...it's just dumb.
