Coping with the end of the year burnout<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been quite a year.  The end of the year is time to reflect and re-energize yourself as it\u2019s the start of the next year, but often this can be overwhelming and exhausting. Burnout can be common at this time and is usually defined as a prolonged response to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of social accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This often presents differently for everyone. But it often manifests as an overwhelming feeling and inability to say no. This can lead to an unhealthy, overworking mindset, that results in a lack of sleep, a disjointed social life, demotivation, and exhaustion. This is a vicious cycle that if it continues, can mentally break you down over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 4 tips that can help to prevent burnout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Take me time<\/strong>. Me time should be away from your usual activities. It doesn\u2019t have to be a full day. Take 1 hour before bed to decompress by reading a book or a magazine, or take time to get a mani\/pedi or hair cut during the day. It is your time. Don\u2019t think about it too much. <\/li>
  2. Embrace JOMO<\/strong>: There can be a joy in missing out on activities or events you don\u2019t feel like doing. Instead spend time doing something that you love.<\/li>
  3. Unplug from social media and work. Live in the present.  Be in the moment. These are the important memories. Your phone won\u2019t feel it, and the algorithm won\u2019t care.<\/li>
  4. Journal. Take time to write and reflect on the year. Write about something that means to you, or want to remember. The act of writing can be very de-stressing and soothing. Use it as a therapy.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Turning around your end of the year now before it’s gone, can set you up for a better beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
