In this episode, Theresa and Ivana discussed:
- Four research-backed strategies to prevent and manage burnout
- The physical, emotional, and mental symptoms of burnout and the importance of addressing them
- Tips on how to have quality self-care
- Helping others and yourself overcome burnout
Key Takeaways:
- According to Johns Hopkins, the four things that we can practice to prevent and manage burnout are the following: First is exercise. Second is having a good amount and a good quality of sleep. The third is to seek out happiness or make time for what makes you happy. The fourth and final one on their list is social support.
- Women carry unique responsibilities that make them more prone to burnout. Menopause and taking care of children for example can cause one to lose a lot of sleep. People who take care of a lot of things should take time to take care of themselves, in order for them to increase their capacity to keep on serving and leading in their lives.
- In order to have quality self-care, one must consider internal and external restoration. Go on a vacation, and while on vacation, set good boundaries for yourself. Focus on the moment and make sure that your soul is being fed by the pause.
- Help yourself and others overcome burnout by opening up to a group. Be vulnerable and be honest with what you are feeling and listen without judgment. Be mindful of your inner thoughts, and give yourself healthy, positive, life-giving words.
“Listen to yourself without judgment.” - Ivana Polonijo
