Burnout progresses through five stages. First, the "honeymoon phase" is when you're enthusiastic about a new job or role. Then comes the "onset of stress" stage, where you notice a few difficulties and increased stress. The "chronic stress" stage is when these issues persist, leading to a decline in your health. The "burnout" stage is when the symptoms become severe enough to affect your daily activities. Finally, in "habitual burnout," these symptoms become embedded in your lifestyle, causing significant issues in life and health.
