Burnout has continued to Spread like a Wildfire.
It is Impacting Over 80% of the Workforce, and it Continues to Get Worse.
Which is Not Surprising to Me.
I have been Following these Trends for Years...
And have Seen the Contributing Factors also Get Worse.
When the Causes Remain...
The Results Stay the Same.
This is Simply the Consequences of the World We have Designed and the Lives We Choose to Live.
But a Great Question is...
Why?
What is behind these Trends?
How could it be that Burnout Continues to Get Worse and Worse?
The Answer is Quiet Simple...
Energy.
Or More Specifically Human Energy, which is called Mg-ATP.
This is what Powers Us as Humans.
Without Enough Energy...
Or with Improper Fuel...
We are Unable to Function Well.
It is a Simple Concept, but it is Far More Difficult to Understand the Reality of because of So Much Bad Information in the World.
For Proper Energy Production, You Need a Few Things Going for You.
You Need Enough Fuel...
You Need Specific Micronutrients...
You Need Mitochondria that Function at Optimal Levels...
You Need Antioxidants that Clean Up Oxidative Stress, or Stress Damage, Quickly and Efficiently.
If You are Missing Any Single One of These...
Your Energy (Mg-ATP) Production will be Compromised.
In Today's World?
Most People are Missing All of These.
Which is a Giant Underlying Factor of Why Burnout Continues to Spread.
There are Other Factors as well, of course, but the Psychophysiology still is the Key in Understanding How it All Plays Out.
When We Fail to Create Enough and Proper Energy (Mg-ATP)...
The Body is Forced to "Strip" Itself to Maintain our Lives.
The Longer this Occurs...
The Further We Fall into Burnout.
Until Our Bodies have Stripped themselves Down into Disease, and Potentially Even Death.
Yes, it is True that We can Die from Burnout, and it has been Recorded in Medical Literature in Individuals even in their 20's.
No One is Immune to the Reality of Psychophysiology.
But when You Look at the World Today...
So Many Factors are Directly Attacking Our Energy Production.
Anything that Causes Stressors and Anxiety Cause the Body to Burn through Energy and Micronutrients Faster...
And We All Know that Stressors and Anxieties are Aplenty in Today's World.
The News.
Social Media.
Poor Leadership.
War.
Poverty.
The Overall State of the World.
Even Just "Mentioning" These Causes Us Stressors and Anxieties...
And I'm not Talking about the "Details" which are Constantly Pushed in Our Faces.
As the Stressors and Anxieties Increase...
We Both Need to Refuel with More Nutrients and Micronutrients...
And We Need to Clean Up the Stress Damage, or Oxidative Stress, that is Left Behind in the Wake of Facing these Stressors and Anxieties.
But Both of These are Problematic.
Why?
Most People are Not Eating Real Food...
Most People are Not Getting Enough, or Any, Essential Micronutrients...
Most People are Not Getting the Ingredients that Create Our Body's Most Powerful Antioxidants to Clean Up the Stress Damage.
Worse...
We are Constantly Attempting to Give Ourselves Processed Food, Synthetic Micronutrients, and Toxic Chemicals...
All which "Both" Hurt Our Body's Mitochondria, making them Worse at Producing Energy (Mg-ATP)...
And All of which Our Bodies are Not Able to Use to Create Clean Energy.
It is like trying to Fill a Car with Water instead of Fuel...
The Result is that the Engine can go Into Hydrostatic Lock, which can Destroy Parts of the Engine, cause Rust and Corrosion, Clog the Fuel Filters, and even Cause the Engine to Permanently Stop Working.
In Humans, We call that Death.
But it Still Gets Worse...
Because We are Also Simultaneously Not Using our Bodies.
See, when it comes to Energy (Mg-ATP) Production in Mitochondria...
It is Very Similar to Our Muscles and Working Out.
If You Do Not Work Out...
Your Muscles will Become Weaker.
The Same Occurs with Our Mitochondria.
If We are Not Using Our Mitochondria Effectively...
They Stop Producing Energy (Mg-ATP) Efficiently.
There are some Old Sayings that Reflect This as Well...
Use It or Lose It.
A Car that Sits Becomes a Rust Bucket.
A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss.
All of these Saying Apply to Our Mitochondria as Well.
If We are Not Training them to Efficiently Create Energy (Mg-ATP)...
Then they will Stop Working Well.
And I Can Tell You...
I am Very Focused on Understanding How to Effectively Create Energy (Mg-ATP) and Work Hard to Accomplish it in My Own Life.
I Live in Texas, Near Sea-Level, but Currently I am Over a Mile above Sea Level.
What Happens?
The Air Becomes Thinner, and Your Body Must Work Harder to Efficiently Create Energy (Mg-ATP).
Today is the Second Full Day that I've Been Up this High...
And I have Been Averaging Sub-Eight-Minute Miles for my Workouts...
Plus, I Played Pickleball Today for the Second Time (A Relatively New Game for Me, and one I Highly Recommend).
Playing with both My Spouse and a Good Friend of Ours...
And I Played 2 v 1 Against them Both for Over 30 Minutes of our 1 Hour Court Time...
Keeping My Heart Rate in the Aerobic Zone (Where Mitochondria Function Best) the Entire Time.
And No, My Body has Definitely Not Adjusted to the Altitude Yet.
This is Only Possible because I Understand and Purposefully Focus on Getting Proper Fuel, Micronutrients, Creating Antioxidants to Clean Up Stress Damage, and Improving My Mitochondria Health...
And I Do All of this Because I Know How Important they are to Reach My Potential and to Obtain the Success I Desire.
This is also what has Allowed Me to Consistently Write and Publish Articles for My Business "Every" Single Day for Over 970 Days Now.
It is what has Allowed Me to Improve My Business and Innovate within and Beyond My Former Industry.
It is what has Allowed me to Stay in the Game when I have Watched So Many Other Individuals and Hit Burnout.
It is what I Teach and Help My Clients with which is What has Allowed Them to Accomplish the Same.
If You Fail to Understand How Your Body Produces Energy (Mg-ATP)...
You will Always Struggle to Obtain Success...
Because Energy (Mg-ATP) is Required for Success.
Our World is Designed in So Many Ways to Prevent Our Chances of Success...
Society is Blind to the Consequences of What is Happening.
If You Truly Want Success...
You Must Operate Very Differently from the Rest of Our Society...
And You Must Make Energy (Mg-ATP) Optimization a Key Focus of Your Entire Life.
