Burn-out
Burn-out: Burning out usually happens because we overwork ourselves and take on more than we can handle. Self-care is essential to avoid burnout so that you can continue to work, provide for your family, and even have the energy to socialize with others. There are several things we can do to help stop burnout.
1.Get adequate rest
Getting adequate rest helps your body reboot itself and allows you to operate at an optimal level. Studies have shown that athletes who received adequate sleep were able to increase their level of efficiency and overall performance.
2.Eat well
As it’s often said, eat more colors. The way we eat plays a big factor in how we deal with stress. Try to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables for the benefit of your health. What we eat invariably effects how we feel and think. It’s important that we have a balanced diet that can help support our mental and physical health.
3.Take breaks
To perform at a maximum level of efficiency, it is important to take breaks. Overload is never good; be certain to step away to give yourself a break. Stepping away even for just 10 minutes will help you feel energized and more productive in the long-term.
4.Develop Healthy Boundaries
Having boundaries and learning when to say no or enough is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is important to prioritize time to fill your bucket. Make it a habit to take care of yourself in-spite of the overwhelming triggers and stressors present.
Self-Care is one of the most important things you can do for your well-being. Many times people get caught up in the circular patterns of work and their daily routine that they do not invest sufficient amount of time to decompress. Above are some of the things that you can do to make sure that you are taking care of your physical, spiritual, social, and mental health.
