Burnout: Are you at risk?

“There is a better and more holistic way to practice medicine, or be an executive or entrepreneur, one that keeps your sanity and your vitality intact.”

Uwe Dockhorn

Anxiety, depression or even feeling overwhelmed can have a big impact on daily life and we commonly feel energy, loss of interest or pleasure, or appetite, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep, and poor concentration. How easy is to change your lifestyle, feel in control of your daily activities and more able to cope with what life throws at you?

Many of us feel we have to deal with it alone, or try self-help techniques; keeping a healthy diet, reducing alcohol intake, meditation, breathing exercises and developing holistic ways to think about life challenges differently, are all available for the brave.

This is the story of a 28 year old young man who found himself standing on a bridge, desperate enough to jump. “I had reached the end of my rope and saw no solution inside me.” His father died when he was 23, he had become isolated, and separated from friends, lost his job, he was overwhelmed, physical and emotional exhaustion, and felt there was no reason for being in this world.

How do you free yourself from the imminence of burnt out?

“I was convinced that I could not feel anything, and the truth was, I didn’t feel anything – I was numb.

That’s when I found myself on the edge of that bridge. I remember it was a crystal clear, but bitter cold, winter night. I was watching the stars, breathing the cold air. In and out. I could see my breath. I slowly leaned forward. I let go, but in that moment something happened. While everything else was pitch black inside and out, I saw a tiny little light inside me – then I felt it. Something sitting right under my nose, and because I couldn’t feel it, I couldn’t perceive it.

That night, I learned an important lesson, what I now call “Elephant Thinking”, and it took me 20 years of continuous personal development to create The Anti-Burnout-System™, my proprietary work that creates lasting results in people in 8 hours or less.”

Like on the bridge that night, the secret that nobody in the industry of transformation and health is focusing on: Letting go is only 50% of the equation. Without the other half of the equation, letting go leaves you in free fall.

What if I tell you, the other 50% after you let go is to feel, perceive, and let in what is already there? It’s like a muscle; letting go and letting in, it’s a 2-part process and it happens at the same time. Always. We are so focused on letting go that we miss the opportunity to consciously bring in what is there in that very moment to help you to get into action and do things differently.

For the very first time since my father had died, I felt something inside me on that bridge and it drew me back from jumping. I made myself a promise 25 years ago that I am still keeping today.”

Known as the Lifestyle Liberator, Uwe Dockhorn is the founder of the Anti-Burnout-System™, a premium coaching programme, that offers the solution to liberating lifestyles for ambitious and dedicated doctors, dentists, C-Suite executives, and their Very Important Partners (VIPs). He has made it his life purpose to help other professionals to “decipher patterns and translate them into form”.

In the beginning, he developed cutting-edge Visual Thinking Training Programs for project managers and consultants in the military and diverse corporate areas, but it was clear that everybody was supposed to leap over a “training wall” to succeed. He found people need more personal time and attention, and two years later Uwe was asked to join an education academy and put in 1:1 situations on a daily basis. The programs thrived and profits increased in the first year by 15%, and in the following by 25%. After over 500 consultations with a full 360° variety of people, and 30,000+ coaching hours, Uwe has successfully helped hundreds of professionals, executives and entrepreneurs to recognise and embody their professional aspirations.

It’s all about mindset… right!?

 Anyone who has already dealt with Burnout knows the usual advice: quickly eliminate the problems which create the Burnout. These so-called mindset techniques have existed since the 1990s, however, the figures for Burnout sufferers show that they do not work long-term. Mindset techniques only deal with one half of the solution, new findings show the core of Burnout is in self-created beliefs and pattern.

To succeed, you need to crack your personal code of transformation and internally anchor your own freedom against imminent Burnout. The Anti-Burnout-System™, helps liberate your vitality – from getting clarity on what your breakthrough to brilliance looks like, to what is stopping you from protecting your vitality, to the excitement of knowing exactly what to do next. Together you discover the essential building blocks to finally triple your vitality and, therefore, also your income.

Why does Burnout happen to Medical Professionals? 

Burnout is not new, and it is not rare. Almost everyone experiences it at least once. Everybody knows that you should take more time for yourself and create a life-work balance. However, Medical professionals are 6 times more likely to commit suicide than any other profession.

Half the practicing medical professionals and an increasing number of C-Suite executives and entrepreneurs are experiencing Burnout. Their vitality and their businesses are in danger. Not only that, their families are at risk as they are increasingly disconnected from them, missing the moments that matter the most in their children’s lives. There is a ripple effect on their equally ambitious and dedicated partners who feel unsupported, and over time lose their self-esteem and feel abandoned.

“It has been shown over and over again that the clarity and the knowledge about one’s own driving force are the keys to maximum effectiveness and joy of life. In an era of imminent Burnout, my clients can protect and upgrade their vitality, their business, and most importantly their family life.” Uwe says. Supporting his clients to have clarity on their own perception and realisations, Uwe’s work has become his daily inspiration; and paying it forward helped him find his own element.

As Mark Twain said: “The 2 most important days in your life are when you’re born and the day you find out why!”
