KEY POINTS

Focus on What You Can Control – Don’t stress and feel anxious about what is outside of your control. Focus on what you can do.

Disconnect – Take a break. Remove yourself physically and electronically from your work. Don’t spend all of your time in your office.

Prioritize Your Sleep – Make sure you’re getting at least eight hours of sleep. Turn off electronics one hours before bedtime, as this will increase your melatonin and help you sleep better.

Exercise- Spike your energy at the beginning of the day with some exercise. This will also spike your mood. Exercise is proven to create a 12-hour mood boost, equivalent to taking antidepressants.

Nutrition – Eat well. Choose the foods you know will be healthy for your mind and body. This will help you feel healthier and stronger.

Clear Your Mind – Could you benefit from re-engaging in a spiritual practice that you have, or a religious practice, or simply meditation to calm the mind and give you clarity.

Ask for Help – Let people know you are feeling down and express that need for help.

Steer Clear of Bad Habits– Alcohol, medications, drugs can make burnout worse. Steer clear of anything that can add fuel to the fire.

Be Social – Put yourself in social situations. We are social beings; we are meant to celebrate and enjoy life with other people. 

Make Time for Yourself Everyday – What is the number one thing you enjoy? Make time for it, schedule it into your day.
