Two Types of Burnout
In Saju, burnout usually falls into two distinct categories: Leakage and Blockage.
Leakage burnout happens when your "Output" and "Wealth" elements are too strong, and your "Resource" is weak. You are literally bleeding energy into projects and people without ever stopping to recharge. This feels like being hollowed out.
Burnout by Blockage
Blockage burnout is the exact opposite. It occurs when your "Resource" and "Companion" elements are massive, but your "Output" is blocked or non-existent. You have immense internal energy, thoughts, and potential, but no way to safely express it or execute it.
This feels like a pressure cooker about to explode. The cure for Blockage burnout is not rest; the cure is finding an outlet to aggressively burn the stagnant energy—through intense exercise, creation, or speaking out.
