WW #454 - Burnt Out?

We hear it all the time: “I’m burnt out.” Burnt out at work. Burnt out at home. Burnt out in life. And while that phrase is common, here’s a perspective shift worth considering: maybe you’re not actually burnt out… maybe you were never lit in the first place.

Burnout or Unlit?

Burnout implies that you had a strong fire burning, and it eventually consumed itself. But many people never truly had a flame to begin with. They weren’t driven by passion, purpose, or clarity. Instead, they were simply busy, scattered, or stretched thin — and mistook exhaustion for burnout.

The real solution isn’t always recovery. Sometimes it’s about learning how to light the match.

Finding the Flame

When you shift your focus from saying, “I’m burnt out,” to asking, “How can I light the fire?” you’ll find a new level of clarity and motivation. Purpose fuels energy. Without it, even the simplest tasks feel draining. With it, challenges become meaningful and sustainable.

The question is: What ignites you? What brings passion, excitement, or clarity into your day? Until you answer that, “burnout” will always feel like the problem — when in reality, it’s a lack of light.

A Practical System to Stay Lit

This is where structure comes in. Having the right system ensures you’re not just running in circles. At Life Pulse, our LP Planning System helps you manage 7 critical tasks that keep you focused, intentional, and aligned with your purpose.

Instead of waiting until you crash, create a rhythm that keeps your flame steady. When you plan with intention, you can:

• Prioritize what matters most

• Create balance instead of chaos

• Sustain energy instead of losing it
