Self-Awareness Self-Analysis Know That I Term Paper

It will be important for me to make sure that the work that I take is work that I can perform without over tasking myself - this will only hurt the client and me. Learning how to say no, without fear will be a challenge but something I think will be good for me. I will also need to learn how to ask for help, especially in my early days, without fear of being looked upon as incompetent or somehow less than capable of performing my duties.

Many of the elements of my personality are prime triggers for work burnout. It is for this reason that likely the most powerful tool I will have in avoiding burnout will be self-awareness. I may use a technique such as journaling in order to chronicle my day-to-day feelings about my work, my satisfaction and myself.When I notice that the entries start to have a negative tone, or it appears that my job satisfaction is waning, then this will be the time I will need to step back and look at what I am doing. Perhaps I need to take a break, reorganize my schedule, and get into counseling again if I am not currently attending. It is important that I try to identify the elements of burnout that are specific to my personality and be aware of them before they start to cause problems for me and for my patients and colleagues alike. If I have a plan before I start, then it is likely I will be able to minimize the impact that burnout has on me......
