Don't let burnout steal away the things you enjoy!

Preventing burnout involves knowing the what and how, but also understanding the why behind what works. Dr Bek brings this crucial knowledge to your team, helping them maintain healthy strategies and habits for longer.

Here are some warning signs to look out for:

🛑Feeling stressed and anxious a lot of the time.
🛑Cancelling or avoiding activities you used to look forward to.
🛑Struggling to concentrate on tasks and responsibilities.
🛑Being more irritable with others.
🛑Losing passion for things you used to love.
🛑Can't remember the last time you had a good night's sleep (or felt joyous!).

Burnout can creep up on us when we least expect it, affecting our well-being and happiness. But don't worry, awareness is key! By recognising these signs, you can take proactive steps to reclaim your joy and prevent burnout from taking over.

Book Dr Bek to speak with your team or audience and help them prevent burnout today.

Want a quick pick-me-up (ie for when alcohol is not on the menu )? Your vagus nerve controls the parasympathetic nervous system - the one that helps with rest and digestion. As part of your self-soothing tool-kit, when making your next mock/cocktail over the frantic festive season, try swiping the ice cube across your forehead, closed eyes, and cheekbones. For a more sustained effect - use an ice pack for up to 30 seconds, or (for the really adventurous) dunk your full face into a bowl of ice water a few times in succession. Those who are already into ice baths or cold swimming likely have already discovered the vegus stimulation effects - I would love to hear of any similar hacks you use to get through the festive season in one piece!

Expecting life to be sunshine all day, every day is unrealistic - it’s also damaging to our morale and ability to manage the ups and downs of everyday life.

Focusing on happiness as the ultimate destination makes the inevitable setbacks, disappointments and challenges in life harder to tolerate. It impacts our resilience.

Instead, understanding that life’s joys and sorrows are all part of being human makes it a little easier to endure tough times with more self-compassion. Social media highlight reels can sometimes lead us to think that everyone else is ‘living their best life’ while we’re stuck dealing with demanding, difficult and downright rubbish tasks.

By accepting the good with the bad, and acknowledging that friends and colleagues are unlikely to be sharing their challenging days, missed opportunities or stalled projects on LinkedIn, we find it easier to cope with these inevitable parts of life.
