Quick takeaways

Burnout, characterized by chronic stress, profoundly affects our health and is often misunderstood as personal laziness rather than a serious issue.

Engaging in social activities and reconnecting with personal values can significantly enhance mood and foster resilience against burnout.

Deep dives

Understanding Burnout

Burnout is increasingly recognized as a common issue, particularly since 2020, affecting a significant portion of the workforce. It is characterized by chronic, unmanaged stress that accumulates over time, often leading individuals to feel trapped and exhausted. Many mistakenly believe their lack of energy stems from personal laziness or willpower issues, but this is often a result of lingering burnout. Recognizing the signs early can help in taking proactive steps to alleviate and prevent further deterioration of mental and physical health.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 329 of the podcast which was a solo episode all about the rising issue of burnout. In that episode I outlined the 7 signs that may indicate you are on the road to burnout and shared 10 practical tools to help.

Research has found that a staggering 88 percent of the UK workforce has experienced burnout since 2020.

In this clip, I walk you through 3 of the tools you can think about introducing into your life that can quickly start to help.

PLEASE NOTE: the signs I mention in this episode are very common and are not exclusive to burnout. If you have the odd sign and it is short lived – please do not worry – we all will experience some of these signs from time to time. Just be mindful if these signs are becoming longstanding. Also, please note that some of these signs can also be found in a variety of other conditions, for example, depression. If you have any concerns, please seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
