Good morning our lovely people,

Let’s talk today about BREAKS. yes breaks, or when you’re a student who works for long hours and can’t catch up with your studies, exams, projects, or who works a stressful job and you feel like you can’t take a break, or when you’re a parent who just want to sit and relax and have a couple of days to yourself, or someone who is just sitting around and don’t feel like getting up and do anything all day because you’re just burned out.

The word burnout gets tossed around like its nothing or laziness but it causes a huge impact on the self. Burnout is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion. It can occur when you experience long-term stress in your job, or when you have worked in a physically or emotionally draining role for a long time.

Burnout isn’t something which goes away on its own. Rather, it can worsen unless you address the underlying issues causing it. If you ignore the signs of burnout, it could cause further harm to your physical and mental health in the future. You could also lose the ability and energy to effectively meet the demands of your job which could have knock-on effects to the other areas of your life.

Common signs of burnout:

• Feeling tired or drained most of the time
• Feeling helpless, trapped and/or defeated
• Feeling detached/alone in the world
• Having a cynical/negative outlook
• Self-doubt
• Procrastinating and taking longer to get things done
• Feeling overwhelmed

As prevalent as it is, burnout is often misunderstood, stigmatized, and costly both to employees’ health and wellbeing, and employers’ productivity.
