#286 Michael Levitt: Ditch the Phone, Reclaim Your Sanity

Yep, I'll give you the signs that I see time and time again. One, you're fatigued. You're not sleeping well. Your body aches in places you didn't know you had, and you're just not feeling well. That's a big warning sign. Another one, which was a huge red flag for me, is... You lose interest in doing things in life. And I'm not talking about work. I'm talking about in your personal life.

You quit doing things with your friends that you normally love doing. You quit all your hobbies. You just don't want to do any of that anymore. You find that communication with people colleagues and loved ones is harder. Maybe you're a little bit more irritated than normal. And we see that a lot.

There's a lot of people that are angry right now because I think a lot of people are dealing with certain levels of burnout and stress and fatigue over finances, wars, you name it. The post pandemic, all of these things have been taking a toll on people.

And if you notice, too, that the intake of food and you're not taking time to eat or your food choices aren't what they used to be and you're starting to feel the aftermath of eating too many processed foods and not eating real food. And that will take a toll on you as well. So those are some of the signs to warn out or look out for if you think you're burning out. Now, how to fix it?

There's several ways to do it. Make sure you schedule time to be active, eat the right foods for you. And that means figuring out what foods are right for you. I had a food intolerance test done a few years ago. They tested me on over 250 types of foods, and I got a beautiful report, color-coded. that indicated, okay, these are the foods that are good for you.

Your body naturally likes these foods. And then the page that was in red, which had a lot of items on it, unfortunately, are the foods that I should probably stay away from because I have an intolerance to them in varying degrees, but it was still the red page. I do my best to avoid any of the foods that are on that page. And what happens is my digestive system works better.

The food that I eat is naturally good for me and my body breaks it down naturally without any issues. So I don't have to have Tums or acid reflux or anything like that. But if there was one magic pill bullet thing that I would tell people to focus on if they want to help prevent burnout or at least reduce the impact of it is really focus on your sleep. Get really good sleep.

up for the best possible sleep you get every night because when you get a good night's sleep, your body repairs the damage that we do to ourselves on a daily basis, which means you wake up more refreshed, which means you can face those stressful situations in life a little bit better. And prolonged stress is what turns into burnout. So if you don't have prolonged stress, you won't burn out.
