Burnout
Burnout, the feeling of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion is something that is all too common in modern day-to-day life. Many people may think that burnout is often only related to work, and whilst you can experience burnout from work, there are also many other factors that can result in burnout. For example, life stressors and chronic illnesses can also contribute to feelings of burnout.
This is becoming a concern in the UK, with 91% of adults reporting experiencing high, prolonged levels of stress. Burnout impacts us both in our personal life, and in work with feelings of low motivation, and exhaustion.

Like many people, I have experienced burnout and found that there were a few techniques which are helpful to improve these feelings. One I found particularly helpful, is called the “5 Ways to Wellbeing”. The 5 ways to wellbeing are simple steps we can do each day to improve our mental wellbeing. What I love about the 5 ways to wellbeing, is that its flexible to all of our individual needs, whilst improving our wellbeing.
