Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
People who are suffering burnout - the feeling of always being tired because they have been working too
hard – always discover some ways to recover from it. They start to reconstruct their lifestyle: in just a short
period of time, they may quit their job, move to another country, or end a relationship. Then, they successfully
recover. However, according to Stela Salminen, a doctoral candidate at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland, this is not always the case.
Dramatic lifestyle changes might be beneficial for some people, but in her own research Salminen has found
one factor which truly unites those who recover: realising that they are in control. For a small study in 2015, she
interviewed 12 burnout sufferers. Researchers assessed participants to determine the severity of their burnout at
the time of the study and seven months later. Their scores were then compared to what they said to look for
patterns. The analysis revealed that those who recovered successfully experienced a revelation that they are in charge of their own wellbeing.
Salminen explains that if burnout sufferers believe that they can influence their environment, they usually
take the necessary steps to reverse the factors which got them there in the first place. This might include things
like improving sleep habits, since this is one of the best ways to reset when you're stressed, or drawing clear


lines between work and non-work time. "People who have a sense of agency take steps in the workplace, make
changes in their families; they take care of themselves, and they're more aware of their own limitations," she says.
One way to achieve this feeling of self-control is to attend slightly scary sounding "burnout rehabilitation
programmes". These can come in many different forms - such as luxury retreats and basic online courses - but
broadly they involve some kind of cognitive therapy to help people re-frame their experiences in a more
productive way. Another is to gain control of another aspect of your life, such as by taking up a creative hobby
or exercising more often. The late famous painting instructor Bob Ross often emphasised this, advising viewers
that "If you don’t like it, change it. It’s your world."
Another important predictor of recovery from burnout is a healthy life. "Family relationships, one's overall
health - these tend to influence people who have gone through burnout and are on the path to recovery," says
Salminen. "Finding emotional support seems to be the first step towards recovery," says Salminen. "It can come
from many different places - occupational health care like a psychologist, it can be support from family
members, or support from colleagues." By verifying your experiences, these people can help to improve your
motivation and how you see yourself, and regardless of what happens in your journey to recovery, this can only be good.
