Are you experiencing fatigue? Insomnia? Or do you always forget things? These are some classic tell-tale signs of burnout. Burnout occurs when a person is suffering from physical and emotional exhaustion. It’s most commonly caused by work-related stress and hectic lifestyle. In most cases, many will suddenly resort to making drastic changes to their lifestyle, such as leaving their jobs. Some just stopped functioning.
So, how can we avoid burnout? You do not need to make drastic changes. You can start small. Start by creating a habit of maintaining work-life balance. Make it your mantra. Do not work 24/7, 7 days a week. Leave your weekend free for fun activities. We suggest immersing yourselves in what nature has to offer. Take a short staycation at a nearby resort that offers a relaxing environment. Let your mind and body take a nice, deep breath of fresh air; we are sure that you will feel refreshed and ready to take on the world again!
