are you feeling stressed or burned out?
Workplace stress has reached an all time high, according to recent research by Gallup. 85% of executives surveyed by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, agreed mental health is a priority, yet only 27% say their own organisation consciously prioritises mental health.
Calm has identified 5 signs of burnout - complete this quick self assessment:
CONSTANT FATIGUE - Are you feeling physically and mentally exhausted? Do you lack the energy to be productive or find it hard to concentrate at work?
FEELING SUPER “MEH” - Are you feeling generally unmotivated and uninterested in work or life. Do you often ask yourself, what is the point?
PHYSICAL SIGNS - Are you noticing tension headaches, muscle tension, high blood pressure, stomach problems?
CHANGES TO NORMAL PATTERNS - Are you noticing changes to your diet or sleep patterns?
EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS - Do you feel irritable, impatient or becoming short with those around you?
According to new research from Calm, work is in fact now the number one stressor in people’s lives. Incorporating regular breaks into your workday helps reduce stress accumulating that leads to burnout. 1 in 3 workers say they regularly take breaks (excluding restroom and meals) with the remaining 2 out of 3 rarely taking a break - which one are you?
