Understanding and avoiding burnout: Honeymoon phase

1st phase: the honeymoon phase

I think everyone knows this phase: a new job, with something new and exciting to learn every day. It's fun to take on these new tasks. At this stage, commitment and enthusiasm are at their highest and the first signs of stress are often seen as temporary obstacles that can be overcome with enough work. Thoughts like: "I'm not that fast yet, but I'll get faster with time. Then I'll be able to do everything." However, this is also the time when there is an opportunity to intervene early and prevent a long-term burnout process.

Signs of the honeymoon phase

• Strong commitment to personal career
• Strong commitment to the company's professional projects
• a high level of drive
• Regular working hours are exceeded to a large extent every day
• Many report that they feel happier and are prepared to work longer hours to achieve their goals.

But it is precisely this early eagerness that, if unchecked, can lead to an overwhelming burden that is ultimately unsustainable. You put yourself and your needs behind the needs of the company and its goals.

miReiki method for the prevention of Burnout

To avoid burnout, it is extremely important to realise during this phase that your own needs and health are not being neglected. As the founder of miReiki, I primarily recommend the following three methods to minimise the risks during the honeymoon period and avoid burnout:

Reiki for energetic balance:

To maximise your energy flow, start early with a routine morning miReiki treatment. All it takes is 15 minutes. Reiki can promote the body's natural healing process and helps restore emotional balance, both of which reduce stress levels.

Essential oils:

Use essential oils to strengthen yourself emotionally.
Peppermint oil can promote mental clarity and boost your energy levels.
Bergamot oil can help to reduce stress and improve mood.
Lavender oil is good to use before sleep as it can reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality.

Yoga:

Regular yoga can help to calm the mind and strengthen self-awareness. These exercises can not only help to reduce stress, but also to develop self-awareness and boundary awareness.
