How to deal with burnout!

How are you feeling? Tired, unproductive, disconnected with your team? Or are you feeling stressed out by all the challenges being thrown our way in today's economic climate?

From the Labour Force Survey, we can see how big an issue this has become since Covid and after (https://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/causdis/stress.pdf)

• the total number of cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2021/22 was 914,000, a prevalence rate of 2,750 per 100,000 workers.?
• The total number of working days lost due to work-related stres, depression or anxiety in 2021/22 was 17 million days.
• The most recent data shows that compared to all workers, females overall had statistically significantly higher rates of work-related stress, depression or anxiety and males significantly lower.
• Females aged 25-34 - Females aged 35-44 - Females aged 45-54 had significantly higher rates.

It is difficult to wake up and have a spring in your step and feel motivated in all aspects of your life but don't despair as we can work on trying to improve our day by taking small steps to build resilience not only in our mindset but physically too. The two go hand in hand. Focusing on your mindset and waking up to a positive affirmation each day will start to make you feel more able to take action whether it is doing some exercise or tackling a job that you have been putting off for a while.

And if you need some gentle movement to help unwind, Pilates/Mobility is a great way to destress and relax your body and mind. Just allowing yourself time to concentrate on you, feel your body move, tune into how it is responding to movement and focusing on breathing more deeply has a huge positive impact on your overall wellbeing.
