Soulmate: I feel like my workload at the company keeps getting heavier and heavier and I think I'm starting to burn out. Daldi.. could you tell me how I can get through burnout?
Youngjae: Actually, if your workload is getting way too heavy, that could mean there's already something wrong with the way the company is being managed. That's how I see it. When a company's system isn't working properly, I think you often end up having to take on extra responsibilities on top of the work you already had. So honestly, I don't know exactly what your situation is like. But if you're simply exhausted because there are just too many things being piled on you then I think trying to move to a different company could also be one option.
When it comes to burnout, I think you first need to take an objective look at what's going on and ask yourself whether the problem is coming from you or whether it's being caused by outside factors that are beyond your control. You need to be able to tell the difference between that and thinking, "Am I feeling this way because I'm just not good enough yet?"
For me, if I burn out because I feel like I'm not doing well enough then I actually try to make up for whatever I feel I'm lacking. That's usually how I'm able to get over the burnout. For example, I talk about this all the time but if I feel like I didn't sing well, I'll just practice singing a little more. And while I'm practicing, I'll eventually think, "Oh, I can do it now. It works now so why couldn't I do it back then?" I think I gradually work through the mistakes I made and fill in the gaps along the way. So yeah, that's pretty much how I deal with it.
I don't know if what I said will actually help you but I hope you'll take some time to check these things for yourself. I'd really like you to look at the situation calmly and objectively and ask yourself, "Am I exhausted because of something within myself or is something else making me exhausted?" You know what I mean, right... Hyobin sshi?
