How to Avoid Burnout?

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, " Burnout is the exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration." However, there are ways to avoid burnout. First, you can meditate and use essential oils. There are many essential oils for exhaustion such as Lemon, Ginger, Grapefruit, Jasmine, and Clary Sage. Second, you can set aside some time for yourself by drinking tea, reading, or coloring adult coloring pages. 

Third, you can take small breaks between work hours if your boss allows it. If you have good communication with your boss, you can take mini breaks to relax, to stretch, and to walk outside. Sometimes, adding your own diffusers in a small area at your desk can help you feel better. In addition, here is a list that will help you to avoid burnout. 

• Take care of yourself.
• Take 20 minutes a day to relax. Turn off all electronic devices.
• Don’t hurt people’s feelings when you are angry, frustrated, and sleep deprived.
• Take a break and do yoga, meditate, or have DIY Spa Day.
• Say “No” without feeling guilty.
• Get some sleep and have healthy balanced meals.
• Take some time to help people at work or do some volunteer work.
• Learn to manage your time by creating a to-do list or use a planner.
• Exercise your mind.
• Exercise for your physical health.
