Episode 126 - Your brain and burnout

And that's the danger, isn't it, is when things start to spiral a bit or whatever and you then go, I've just got to go faster.

I've got to go harder.

This isn't going away.

I've still got these jobs to do.

I've got to go out there and work out how much grass we've got.

I've got to set up the next round.

I've got to work out what we're doing with this or work out what we're doing with that.

And it's the thinking part.

doesn't stop, Anne.

You've got it in one.

You've got it in one.

It's just, it doesn't, you know, and you think, oh, I've got my list here.

Perhaps if I schedule things, perhaps, and you come up with all these crazy ideas.

Perhaps if I do this, perhaps, and none of it works.

Well, I'm only going to worry about it.

Well, then you start thinking, okay, because if you don't have those breaks, those regular breaks, even if it's just a two hours or three hours or whatever regularly scheduled away from the farm, uh, it just gets worse.

I can't explain it any better than that.

It gets worse and worse and worse and we try and find ways and solutions.

There's only one solution and that is to, we have to have either a good breakaway or even, dare I say it, go and speak with somebody about it to find out ways of managing the overthinking.
