On this episode, we talk all about Recovering from Burnout. To help us unpack this topic, we are joined by Maria-Stella Contera.
Maria-Stella is the Founder of Work & be Well - providing burnout prevention & management strategies for busy working women.
Topic discussion points:
Setting Boundaries: Establish clear limits on your availability and the scope of your responsibilities. Learn to say no to additional commitments and ensure you have time to disconnect from work, which is crucial for mental recovery.
Prioritizing Self-Care: Engage in regular activities that promote well-being, such as exercise, hobbies, or relaxation techniques. Self-care is not a luxury but a foundational aspect of burnout recovery, helping to restore energy and reduce stress.
Seeking Social Support: Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues who can offer emotional support. Sharing your experiences with others can provide relief and may also offer new perspectives on managing stress and workload.
Getting Professional Help: Consider consulting a therapist or counselor who specializes in stress management and burnout. Professional guidance can be invaluable in developing personalized strategies to cope with burnout and prevent its recurrence.
