Mind + Body: BURNOUT

Sip of the Week: After 10+ years in the ICU Danielle was feeling exhausted both mentally and physically and chose to leave the nursing profession altogether. However, the journey to her burnout was slow and subtle as well as normalized by her work so much it caused her to downplay a diagnosis of cracked teeth!! Tune in as we chat about listening to our bodies, taking care of both mind and body in small but meaningful ways, and provide language to help navigate and consider all the nuances of burnout. You don't want to miss this tea!

Let It Brew: Burnout can sneak up on us when we least expect it, and its effects can be profound, impacting both our mental and physical health. The mind and body are deeply interconnected, and maintaining a balance between them is crucial in both preventing and recovering from burnout. Regular physical activity, mindful practices such as meditation, stretching and Pilates, and prioritizing adequate rest and nutrition can all help to maintain this balance. By listening to our bodies and addressing stressors early, we can create a sustainable routine that supports overall well-being, resilience, and energy levels.

Post Tea Pursuits: This week, commit to integrating 5 min of stretching into your daily routine. Use Danielle's program, the Peloton App, find a free video on YouTube or create your own flow!  Focus on how stretching makes you feel both mentally and physically, and observe any changes in your stress levels or overall sense of well-being. Reflect on your experiences at the end of the week and consider how incorporating this practice regularly can help you stay balanced and prevent burnout.
