A year without burnout
Three… Two… One! Happy 2023! It is officially a brand-new year and as with any fresh start, there is a sense of promise and hope in the air. Perhaps the last year (or two) had some challenges for you, as it did for many others. However, there is something about the New Year that allows us to stop, reassess our goals and take stock of our lives. While setting goals and resolutions is admirable, we also would like to remind you to reflect on feelings of burnout that you may have experienced last year and to strategize new and healthy ways to work on your mental health and well-being and avoid feeling burnt out in the coming months. So here is how we are going to accomplish the collective goal of avoiding burnout!
Firstly, what is burnout?
The WHO defines burnout as chronic stress from overworking that has not been successfully managed. You may be suffering from burnout if you are experiencing the following symptoms:
- Complete lack of energy or feelings of exhaustion.
- Feelings of negativity and mental distance around your job.
- Feeling incompetent
- Depression
- Easily triggered within the workplace
- Struggle to concentrate
These are just some of the symptoms of burnout. Prolonged symptoms can start to affect your daily and personal life. You may find yourself checking out the things that use to bring you joy. There are, however, small habits you can incorporate into your daily routine to help you manage your stress.
Start your day in a positive way to avoid burning out
The way you start your day can determine the rest of your day, it’s easy to wake up in the morning and feel overwhelmed with your daily ‘to-do’ list. Why not take a few moments to stretch, meditate, breathe and clear your mind?
Nature’s Relief Nootropic mind is excellent for the days when you have a lot on your mind and need to take the edge off. Just pop one of these into your morning coffee and feel a wave of calm wash over you.
Our Neuroflow Capsules are also a great supplement for you to take when you are needing to reduce but sharpen your brain. It is created from a powerful blend of natural extracts that specifically boosts your productivity.
Boost your mood naturally
We understand that sometimes we need a little helping hand on those tougher days. Natural supplements can gently help to clear the clouds and uplift your mood without any negative side effects.
Nature’s Relief Elevate Mood enhancer contains a powerful duo of Sceletium and Ashwagandha which are known for their anxiolytic and mood-boosting properties. Our Nature’s Relief Sceletium is also an excellent broad-spectrum mood-enhancing and emotion-mediating herb.
Get enough rest
The most important thing you can do to recover from burnout is to get enough rest. Studies have shown that sleeping less than 6 hours a night is the main contributor to on-the-job burnout. You may, however, find it impossible to get a good night’s rest when you are feeling burnt out as your mind working overtime may lead to insomnia.
There are supplements you can take that will help ease you into a sweet slumber. Our Nature’s Relief CBD sleep contains a blend of CBD and lavender terpenes which will help you fall asleep and stay asleep. CBD promotes restoration and healing, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to face the day.
