BURNOUT

MAKE SLEEP YOUR PRIORITY TO AVOID BURNOUT .

"

This year has been big for so many people , with massive shifts and loads of uncertainty … No wonder lots of people are feeling wobbly and a tad burnt out !
That was me too , for a little while there . In the past , I would have let those feelings derail me and burn me out completely , but I now know better and I have the tools to avoid it and I want to share them with you today .
So here goes … Five of the best ways to avoid burnout .
1 . BOOK YOURSELF IN FOR A GETAWAY OR A RETREAT EVERY QUARTER . If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook , you will know that I recently got back from two nights at Gaia Retreat and feel like a completely different person . It was truly magical ! My body , mind and soul feel completely rejuvenated and replenished . We ate all organic food straight from their garden , did yoga , Pilates , qi-gong , soaked up the stunning rolling mountains , spent loads of time outdoors in nature , got organic facials and massages , and laughed until our bellies hurt . It was exactly what I needed , true soul medicine . I can ’ t recommend it enough and I will 100 % be going back very soon . Book yourself in for quarterly getaways or a retreat and soak it up .
You deserve it and you are worthy of it .
2 . MEDITATE . ANOTHER GREAT WAY TO AVOID BURNOUT IS WITH A DAILY MEDITATION PRACTICE .
There ’ s so much science out there now on the benefits of meditation , it ’ s awesome . Meditation can help you with the following …
• Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
• Building skills to manage your stress
• Increasing self-awareness
• Focusing on the present
• Reducing negative emotions
• Increasing imagination and creativity
• Increasing patience and tolerance
• Plus so much more !
If you don ’ t have a daily meditation practice , now is the time to start . Begin with one of my guided meditations and see how you feel . Start with doing it once in the morning and again before bed and feel the shift through your entire being .
3 . DO YOGA , DANCING OR ANY FORM OF MOVEMENT EVERY SINGLE DAY .
Movement is hugely beneficial for your mind , body and soul . It ’ s also a powerful depression fighter . Most importantly though , it promotes all kinds of changes in the brain , including neural growth , reduced inflammation and new activity patterns that promote feelings of calm and well-being . It also releases endorphins , powerful chemicals in your brain that energize your spirits and make you feel good . It can also serve to help break you out of the cycle of negative thoughts that feed depression . Find something you like
