Dealing With Burnout? Here Are 7 Types Of Rests To Avoid It

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, finding no motivation, and losing all hope in life?

If yes, then chances are you might be suffering from Burnout. Burnout is a condition of exhaustion caused by prolonged or repeated stress. While it can be seen in many areas of life, it’s mainly related to work.

In this story, let’s have a look at various ways to overcome burnout and live your best life:

Physical Rest: Lack of sleep disrupts your body’s energy. Hence, 7 hours of sleep is a must as it not only restores your well-being but also protects your health.

Mental Rest: Mental exhaustion is caused by too much thinking and other mental pressures. Make a habit of writing down your thoughts, and to-do lists, take a break from solving problems, and meditate.

Emotional Rest: Emotional exhaustion occurs when you feel like you can’t be authentic, due to job or societal expectations. Spend time with people you can be authentic or talk with a therapist.

Spiritual Rest: Being a part of something bigger, volunteering for social activities, or faith-based activities, brings peace and satisfaction, boosting your emotional and mental well-being.

Creative Rest: Take a walk in nature or watch the sunrise and sunset. You can also visit an art museum or engage in reading, painting, music, etc.

Sensory Rest: Today’s modern lifestyle is overstimulating. So, take a break from social media, turn off the notifications, limit video meetings, and relax in an ambient environment with soothing music, candles, etc.

Social Rest: Here, spend more time with people who give you positive energy and schedule a solitude time to connect with yourself.
