prime my friend back to today's episode my friends it is easy to mistake burn out for laziness but let me tell you right now these are very different things and you've got to learn to tell the difference the problem is there are people who are being lazy

and they are blaming it on burnout but then there are also people that really are pushing too hard and they're burning out mistaking it for laziness your ability to determine the difference between the two is going to determine whether or not you're able to find success so pay attention my friends because in this episode you were going to learn how to define these differences so that you can put them to use in your own life let's get into it

if you want to burn out fast in your life pursue something that you don't care about think this is where most people get trapped they're living somebody else's life or they're living an unexamined life they've actually never taken the time to stop and think about what they really want not what they're told they should want what they actually want the thing that gives you more energy

because the thing that causes people to think that they're burning out is that they're actually just putting in energy into something that they don't care about because let me tell you you are light years away from burning out the amount of time and energy that you can put into something if you're sleeping and you're getting in fact that's what we have to get in we should probably start there

the number one thing that causes burn out there's really two things one you're not dealing with your biology correctly and number two you're pursuing something you don't care about so let's take them one at a time number one are you getting sleep the odds are that you're confusing fatigue with burn out burn out is something very specific burn out is where you were in love with something and you were going so hard in your life is getting overwhelming that even though you love it even though you are optimized physically you're asleep

physically you're still frazzling at the edges let's set that aside because most people never get there most people trip themselves up with deprioritizing their sleep not exercising nearly enough not getting their diet on point

if you're not sleeping exercising eating right meditating doing all the things you need to do to optimize your physiology you're going to think that you're burning out I remember one time I was having a conversation with somebody and they were trying to convince me that they had a adrenal fatigue

if your diet is all over the place and you're having that conversation as you're eating something that's highly processed high in sugar you are making it impossible for your body to process ATP

adrenal fatigue is something so far down the line from just getting the blocking and tackling right in your life if your answer is fancy you better be really optimized most people their diet is a mess their diet is causing them to sleep poorly they're also doing terrible sleep hygiene habits

so they're sleeping bad even if their diet is right they're not exercising they're not doing the things they need to do to be able to actually just generate ATP and I know that is wholly uninteresting and none of us want to be talking about the physiological part of this the biology but that's reality so get that right first the next thing is do you care about the thing that you're pouring your time and energy into you need to be living the life that you actually want to live not living the life

the people tell you you're supposed to want not living the life that your parents wish that they had lived but living a life that actually gives you more energy than it takes this really does come down to energy without even intending to I'm talking about the two ways you can get energy physiologically and psychologically

if you're unclear on how you get psychological energy think about this you were downtrodden you've had a terrible day you are exhausted and then you put on your favorite song and you get a little bit hyphae and you're feeling a bit more energy that is psychological energy that's you getting excited about something that's something changing your neurochemistry that's not addressing what's going on at the age of the day

you're going on at the ATP level that's just addressing psychologically are you feeling good so when you pick a career path when you decide that thing that you're going to pour energy into you want to make sure that it's something that gives you energy it does not mean that you're going to be able to work forever and that there is no limits see the first part of my answer this needs to be something that is coming after you get your physiology into place

assuming that you have your physiology in place you want to make sure that the thing that you're into gets you into a loop of passion now passion has to be created it is a process passion is not an archaeological dig it is an architectural build it's something that you put together you create it and one of the big problems with people burning out is that they don't actually realize that you don't you're not born with a passion

you're born with things that are going to interest you you're born with things as you encounter them for whatever reason they speak to your personality okay we're all about 50% hard wired and 50%
