Are you super busy, feeling burned out or beyond exhausted?

You are not alone in this situation, and you do not have to remain in this state. The silent stress burden that can lead to mental burnout, affects a large part of the population and especially those with high demand jobs/careers. Here’s how to stop extreme stress before it stops you.

No Equipment Stress Management Techniques:

1. Box Breathing (4-4-4-4): Breathe in for four seconds, then pause for four seconds before exhaling for four seconds and finally hold for four seconds. Perform several rounds of this practice to relax your nervous system. This works well during meetings or after stressful situations.

2. Micro-Breaks: Work in 50-minute focus blocks followed by 10-minute breaks. During your breaks spend time stretching and walking while staying hydrated and adjusting your posture to refresh your energy.

3. Gratitude Check-In: End your day by writing down your three positive experiences or things you appreciate during your day. The practice of gratitude helps people turn their attention away from stress and toward a broader perspective.

Take home message: Taking small meaningful actions now to manage stress and safeguard your energy reserves is the best approach to stopping mental burnout in its track! Self-care is a very welcome act of mindfulness to oneself, so get going Now!
