Entry #10: Career Burnout!

In this economy, it is so hard to make a living going from working from job to job. Everyone seems to be encouraged to get a career. It is, of course, super beneficial to get a career. Getting a career means you would have a salary, potential health benefits and a secure job. Although the good things are always in the spotlight, it is important to recognize the not so good.

Career burnout is one of the biggest downfalls of careers. Career burnout, or occupational burnout, is when exhaustion from a workplace reduces efficiency. It is common for career burnout to take place within just a few years. This burnout can be caused by overworking, toxic environments and not making time for yourself. Working is essential to living in this society. People have bills to pay and food to buy. But it is important to realize that being happy is also essential. Many people seem to forget that work is not the only thing in life. 

When working for long period of time, learning to reward yourself is one way to help prevent career burnout. Making things fun and switching up routines is another wy. The number one priority within yourself should always be your well being. This trumps anything esle .So make sure you are happy and healthy before going to work!

    Hello Victoria, I enjoyed reading your post! I can definitely agree with your statement. Burnout is a huge issue and it’s something to take in consideration. I believe people should take breaks for themselves whether is quitting, vacations, or even self-care. It is important to prioritize our wellbeing and mental health!

    I think it's a shame that people have to put so much effort into working just to provide for their families. I know a lot of people think burnout isn't real and that its just having a bad mentality. But that's far from the case, burnout is real and needs to be addressed because with how our economy is, I can only see it getting worse.

    I recently experienced a severe burnout from putting so much time into work and school. It was really bad, but I'm glad to have learned this lesson early on and not during my late 40's accompanied with a midlife crisis. It's important to take things slow and take care of yourself! Remember that and all will be well.

Entry #1: ZZZZZZ

One of my hobbies are to sleep! Whenever I can, I will take a nap. It is common for us humans to lack the importance of understanding how much sleep your body needs. One of the things for humans to function is to get enough rest. Sleeping gives your body time to regenerate. Being a college student can means that getting rest can be very hard. Studies have shown that a great percent of college students do not get very good sleep. One suspicion for this is that they might not understand that it is so important. With this being said, I will dig deeper into consequences of sleep deprivation.  Image Source To start with, sleep deprivation is, simply, not getting enough sleep. When you really look into it, your body will start to have problems from not sleeping for a long period of time.  After not sleeping for a long period of time or even if you're not frequently sleeping, the cognitive function in your brain starts to go down. Along with this, mood changes might begin and paranoia can

Entry #4: Being a twin!

Image
One of the biggest parts of my life, since I was born of course, is being a twin! It is such a blessing to be a twin and it is also very unique. I am an identical twin so that means that both my sister and I come from the same fertilized egg. I am going to explain a little more on how twins are formed and also how we share the same DNA.  Identical twins are monozygotic . This means that one single egg splits into two separate embryos. Something to help with the understanding of identical twins is that they come from the same genetic material. This means their DNA is almost exactly the same. Although we come from the same egg, we are not exact copies of each other. Genetic mutations play a part in this. This is because over time, DNA grows so we are now doing it independently. Going further into this, identical twins look very alike. Here is an example of my twin and I!  As you can see, we look extremely alike! This tends to have people confusing us a lot. There are things that distingu

A big part of my life, just like everyone else, is work. Lucky for me, my work revolves around ice cream. I work at Bruster's Real Ice Cream and I am very proud to say so. I have worked there coming up on a year this month. This job is not only fun and in a good environment, but very understanding. The owner works around my school schedule so I can work and go to school. It is very important to be happy at work and this is why.  Image Source  Working in a good environment is great for so many reasons. One of these reasons is that a good work environment means there is also good work being done. According to Zipdo , approximately 70% of employees exceed what they are expected of when they have a good working environment. I can assure you that this is definitely the case at Bruster's. Along with the increased productivity, another advantage of working in a good environment is that it increases job satisfaction. Employees are more likely to stay at a workplace and enjoy it when th
