Burnout is a silent epidemic that existed before the pandemic and has been made worse since.

When we are getting through our day’s demands and they start to exceed our capacity we have a problem. It’s easy in the constant juggle of life for burnout to occur. 

In this post 3 out of my 28 self care tips from my Beyond Burnout Program

3 TIPS:

1. Reflect and reprioritise. 

• check in with yourself and how you feel. Adjust your day’s priorities. 
• Be gentle allow for slower days.  
• Let go of what you can at work or at home. 

2. Get out in nature to renew and rejuvenate your energy.

• Nature is soothing. One recent study showed that when people walked through grasslands they ruminated less. 
• In a  2015 study when participants spent 90 minutes walking through grasslands, they reported ruminating less than those who walked through busy city streets.

• Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. 
• Research done in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety.

3. Rest and new. 

• Don’t work through your fatigue. Create downtime in your day. Take leave if you can.
• Even with a deadline it is important that you take regular breaks to reset yourself, have a stretch, or do a meditation or some mindful breathing. 
• Have a brain break- Listening to music or closing your eyes for a 5-minute rest to recharge. 
• Make time for restful sleep.
