other Ever burned out from a passion?

[Shawn]

Have you ever had something you were very passion about but ended up burning out and never doing it again?

Tell us about it. What was it that you were so passionate about? What made you burn out? Do you ever see yourself going back to it?

How do you prevent burnout from happening today?

Burnt out from a passion? Yes. A human is not a robot and when they expend energy on a particular endeavor for a long time, they would surely get burnt out. But they can never be fed up with something they are really passionate about. I do get tired when I produce music for long hours. I would sleep to get some rest, wake up and immediately go back to music production.

I have had this happen to me a few times, but I wouldn't say that I never went back to that passion; I just had to take a break from it for a while.

Playing video games was one that I burned out from after a while, I found that I was spending so much time playing video games and the same ones that, after a while, I burned out on it and had to take a lengthy break.

I think the major reason why people felt burned out with the activity they once loved is because of lack of challenge. To prevent it, we need to set boundaries and also prioritize self care. For me, I take breaks regularly to freshen my mind.

I’ve never been burnt out from a passion before. Most of my passions stem from the love of them and enjoyment from them.

I think when people overwork themselves and focus their attention way too much on said passions, that’s when it leads to burn outs that makes them not want to do it again. Negative thinking also can cause it.

I wouldn't say burned out from a passion but I have given up so many things that I was very passionate about. I started losing my interest and no longer found pleasure in pursuing those activities.

I’ve experienced burnout from a passion before. When I pushed too hard without breaks, the excitement faded, and it felt exhausting instead of inspiring.

How did you overcome it or did you not ever overcome it?

I didn't, I started looking elsewhere. As you grow older, you start seeing nothingness in what you enjoy doing
