Whatever your daily grind, here’s how to beat burnout
Lift your spirits
Learn how to manage your energy and design your day so that you feel energised, calm, and focused throughout. Start the day doing something that energises you and sets you up, take a 10-minute break every 90 minutes to recharge your batteries and in the evening do things that help you to unwind, release the stresses of the day and lift your spirits.
Use exercise to recharge
Whether it’s a daily walk around the block, or a 30-minute HIIT class, exercise comes in all shapes and sizes. If you are feeling physically, mentally, or emotionally drained, exercising can act as a restorative activity and give you a boost of feel-good hormones.
Try an adaptogen
Adaptogens can help to regulate stress and make you feel more alert throughout the day. Kalms Rhodiola is made from Rhodiola rosea, a powerful herb that can help your body and brain process stress more effectively. Studies have shown that one tablet twice a day of Rhodiola rosea can help fight fatigue and boost energy levels and it enhances our ability to concentrate, maintain focus, and promotes a positive mood.
Have a trusty technique
Discover techniques and habits that help you to calm down when you are starting to go into an urgent, panicked, or stressed-out state. Things that can help you to calm down are going for a walk, calling a friend, doing exercise, or meditation. Experiment and find the things that work for you and always have them in your back pocket when you need them.
Be your own cheerleader
Turn down the volume of your inner critic and start turning up the volume of your inner cheerleader. When you love and believe in yourself and support yourself the same way you would a friend or partner, you will increase your levels of happiness, self-esteem, and confidence.
