Reframe Burnout as a Signal Worth Decoding Rather Than a Failure to Cope

You are burnt out and somewhere underneath it is the assumption that you simply could not cope. This reframes it: burnout as a signal carrying specific information about a mismatch between you and your environment, not a verdict on your stamina. Describe your situation and it helps you decode what the burnout is pointing at, in your values, your workload, your conditions, so you fix the cause rather than just resting and returning to it.
