In this Solo episode of When Burnout Becomes Reality, we're diving deep into a question many of us wrestle with: "Am I Getting Better?" Burnout can cloud our judgment, making it hard to see our progress clearly. Our brains tend to fixate on the negative when we're stressed, anxious, or feeling down, which can skew our self-assessment. We'll explore why measuring burnout is crucial, not just relying on our subjective perceptions. From scientifically proven methods to practical tips, we'll uncover how regular measurement can boost confidence, highlight improvements, and identify areas needing attention. Join us as we discuss how to get a clearer, more accurate picture of your burnout recovery journey.
