Burnout is a type of chronic, unmanaged stress that has significant consequences for our physical and mental health. It’s characterised by feeling exhausted all the time, with no energy for everyday tasks, and little enjoyment in everyday activities.

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.
