15 Signs You’re Burned Out, Not Lazy

over 70% of professionals feel burnt out at some point yet many dismiss it as mere laziness but the great news about burnout is that it's solvable the bad news about laziness is that in this video we're about to call you out here are 15 signs you're burned out not lazy welcome to alux the place where Future billionares come to get inspired all right so let's set the stage first am I burned out or am I lazy well if you're asking yourself this question you're burnt out if you were lazy you wouldn't be asking in the first place now here's how we distinguish between the two number one after a full night's sleep your internal battery is still under 50% you're not resting your body is stressed tense and for a while it doesn't seem to get any better we'll keep it 100 with you here's why fatigue does not come from work but from worry frustration and resentment fatigue from work is usually solved by a nice bath and a fresh set of sheets and pillows lazy people stay up late doing nothing they wake up late and then do nothing with burnout you can't sleep because you're anxious about what you should be doing the minute you wake up but with laziness you said you were going to start working on that thing weeks ago yet you still haven't started number number two you fail the break test take a break and come back if you're still not getting your work done you might be lazy breaks are important because they provide a new perspective on things more often for us taking a break can lead to breakthroughs it allows your mind to distance itself from the day-to-day grind and look at the big picture when you come back from a break productivity skyrockets for the short to medium term lazy people on the other hand are always on break when they're not they aren't experiencing the productivity boost you do number three you start dreading doing the things you used to enjoy although your life is measurably better than it was 5 years ago and probably your work volume has been reduced you're still finding it hard to deliver even on the most menial Parts you used to be able to do it for hours but now even after a couple of minutes you start dreading it you move from fun and exciting to I have to do this or else the most probable reason is that you've distanced yourself from the art from the creative parts that made it exciting in the first place the great news here is that it's an angle issue what happened is you evolved you grew so your preferences evolved with it the way you solve this type of burnout is by altering your work to better fit who you are now the more complex version of the old you number four you cuss at and resent even completely reasonable requests every little thing irritates you in your daily life you feel unhappy you almost feel angry you're always complaining to everyone you want them to feel sorry for you but in a way that spews negativity toward the world everyone who's not codling you is now an enemy you have one safe space you'd want to crawl up in a ball and turn the world off now this is a good moment to let you know this is not a YouTube channel for kids okay what we're about to say is not PG-13 stop acting like a and do your freaking part lazy people complain about the minimum amount of work required of them burned out people feel tired because the hard work they put in isn't showing results yet but it's a part of the process it takes time to grow a garden you plant each seed and there's plenty of comptitive work mixed in with the creativity until you see it Bloom that's why building anything of substance is hard it takes the patience and mind required to navigate moments like this you're going through the hard part right now if you're in a leadership position people look up to you to give off the general Vibe if you're an employee getting paid every month to do some work stop pretending like you're doing your employer a favor and hold up your end of the bargain life is a mix of all of these social contracts be a good partner to your spouse deliver professionally and don't let your friends down the moment you do you break these contracts and your life is in Jeopardy number five you feel like you're not living up to your potential or better put you hoped you would be much further along by now than you are you feel like you've done the work already and that the world owes you your success what if the truth is that you're not actually as great as you think you are what if there are smarter ways to go after the goal you seek what if what you're feeling is just your body adjusting your expectations to your reality the truth is that all our rewards in life are exactly in proportion to our contribution if you feel like your rewards aren't what they should be instead of complaining or throwing in the towel maybe look at your contribution how big is it how many people are you contributing to are you Del delivering actual value or are you just bullshitting your way through life both lazy people and burnt out people face this challenge but the aftermath is different for each one the burnt out person well they seek vetted wisdom you feel burnt out because you took

don't even know where to start in times like these you question yourself on all of the choices you've made up to this point but knowing what you don't know is a sign of burnout not laziness being overwhelmed is burnout not laziness lazy people dismiss progress as impossible they'll give you all the reasons why it won't work those who win are those who do it anyway you push through the block by doing it poorly the goal is no longer the Big Kahuna instead the new goal is to move away from your current state even if it's by tiny increments this will build momentum and you'll be able to overcome the block lazy people well they just quit number seven you can't focus and problem solve experiencing issues with concentration and memory you might read a page in a book and realize you haven't absorbed a single word the fact that you're reading means you're not lazy the fact that you can't absorb means your brain is already full and something else is eating your bandwidth this is your body signaling that you have to address a big thing on your internal list no matter what else it is you try to do you're mind will go to this and until that one thing is resolved you won't get your focus back if you can't get out of it get into it the way you solve this is by tackling it headon we know you're tired okay we know you don't want to do it but do it tired do it anyway number eight you're just going through the motions but with less and less outcome to show for it you already spent your excitement and exhausted your your original ideas now going through the motions feels Bleak and boring this is why your outcome suffers your work is decent but not great go through the motions for hundreds of times and your new work starts to seem very familiar to your old work people begin to notice your magic is fading because you were so busy putting out work that you forgot to refill your magic stash the way you solve this is by throwing yourself into new environments taking in new stimuli that allow you to come up with original thoughts and ideas lazy people will blame the world the audience the algorithm but the truth is you've been stagnant in a world that has increased its threshold number nine feels like you have too many tabs open and it feels like it never ends you do a little bit of work here a little there but nothing to completion this is a massive multitasking trap 50% work on 10 things is less than two things completed even 90% work done on three things is less than one thing completed although it won't make sense to an untrained brain but spend enough time around billionaires and you realize the last 10% takes 90% of the work closing the deal takes more effort and time than anything else there are two ways to solve this depending on your level of burnout one you go for the big one and you only solve that that ignore all the noise from the other tabs and get the big thing done it'll feel like a win and the rest will fade in comparison to your achievement or two if you can't muster the strength or Focus to go after the big one go after the one that takes the least time to fix you'll realize you've been postponing 5 minutes of work for the past 6 days and now you feel like you're an idiot because you could have gotten it all out of the way sooner if it takes 5 minutes do it now and close that tab number 10 you don't feel successful although others think you are being successful and feeling successful are two very different things we all use different scales of measuring success while a Lambo might signal success to one a happy marriage would signal it to another humans are wired in such a way to look for what's missing not for what we already have we place more value on what we don't have than what we do on our existing treasure if you're watching this right now chances are that out of 8.1 billion people in the world over 6 billion of them would gladly switch their lives with yours based on our analytics you're in your 30s you've got access to technology and probably have health take Warren Buffett for example the man is worth $131 billion and we can guarantee you that he would trade it all for being your age again this is how rich and successful you you are a 93-year-old man would give up over $ 100 billion to be you if he could and it's the same for all of these old folks we tend to look up when measuring success this is why others look up at you and see you as successful the thing is there's actually a way for you to measure just how successful you are we spent the last decade figuring out how to measure it for ourselves we factor in the five pillars of a good life money Health relationship ship intellect and emotions into a proprietary algorithm we call the alux score when you download our app you're prompted to fill in a survey where we break down where you are in life every 3 months we do a reassessment and your alux score gets adjusted over the course of one year you should have a clear objective understanding of how well you're doing our thesis on investing over $1 million of our own money so far into the app is that you can't improve what you can't measure and here's the thing if you can't find the hidden QR code you can still go to alo.com 25 off and get yourself 25% off the yearly plan number 11 you lack the strength and belief that you'll make it to the summit when you started you were ready to take over the world and you started your climb you've been climbing for years now the thing is when you look up toward the summit you realize just how much more you still have to climb you're feet hurt your brain is telling you to turn back and everyone around you doubted you'd even climb as far as you did before quitting what you're trying to do is literally lifechanging people quit at 40% of their ability let that idea sink in for a bit deep down it's not a physical limitation you're fighting but a mental one this moment right here is challenging your mental capacity to keep going these are the moments that make or break the great success uccess stories keep going my friend no matter how hard it seems keep on going put one foot in front of the other because we guarantee you the view is a whole lot better at the top number 12 any small thing throws your life into a whirlwind small things set you Ablaze like you were waiting for even the smallest spark to blow up the worst thing is you're taking it out on people who have no fault in you being so burnt out you're being overly dramatic with everything it's not the end of the world it doesn't take much to fix or get it done you're just at a point in your life where instead of trying to fix the world around you you should probably fix yourself you're so damn stressed because you try to mold the world into fitting into your cookie cutter shape and it is fighting back allow life to reshape your Optics that's what they mean when they say go with the flow stop swimming against the current and just run ride the waves of Life instead number 13 you're starting to feel like you're being used even if it's true or not you're beginning to feel like you're being used and taken advantage of and even taken for granted whether you are or not burnout makes you despise Anyone who puts more onto your plate you've got this tendency of thinking other people are just milking you dry for their own emotional or financial benefit and because social media is highlighting only the best moments of someone's life on a 247 basis you begin to think that's what your life was supposed to be like nonstop so when it isn't you believe others are using you in order to make their lives like that all of a sudden you assume malice of your family members of your colleagues of your boss your spouse or your friends deep down you have this tingling feeling that it's not true but admitting that would be admitting that there's something wrong with you number 14 even when you're around friends it still feels like work we realized something in the past couple of weeks while we were in New York even if you do things outside of work they can still feed off of that work battery we've been meeting with friends and alux team members and although we always have a phenomenal time we laugh we eat we share stories it is still draining when we're meeting potential investors even if it's just for lunch you still are putting on a show you're still putting on a mask and want to present yourself in a certain way it's draining only adding to the burnout the goal is to find people who refill you with energy or create environments where hanging out with friends no longer feels like work and number 15 the excitement is still there here's the truth if you've been burned out since day one it's probably laziness laziness is a character trait if the excitement is still there your body is just telling you that you need to rest when the excitement goes away you're closing in on depression even the word depressed signals your body needs deep rest so now you know you've learned a lot about yourself so we're curious what's your go-to solution to dealing with burnout how do you get yourself out of it quickly and effectively and since you're still sticking with us to the end here's your bonus life is what happens when you're busy making other plans yes yes we stole this line from John Lennon but it is true there are times when you need to be strategic and use leverage and then there are times when nothing but brute force will get you there do both for as long as it takes to get yourself where you want to be in Life or at least close enough but here's the tricky bit in order to win life it's more of a dance than a game of chess it requires emotion Rhythm and looking into your partner's eyes every now and then the grind is important yes but don't forget to sprinkle in some core memories on that life of yours or the grind won't feel like it was worth it in the end and since only the true alers watch these videos until the very end here is your secret QR code for a 50% discount on a yearly subscription plan to our app if you made it all the way here write the word end in the comments let's see how many of you will put an end to a boring life and embrace the adventure that awaits
