Many of us use the term burnout to describe feeling fed-up or stressed. But burnout goes well beyond that, and at its most severe can cause us to feel unable to respond to even the most basic of tasks. Anyone can reach burnout but there are steps that you can take to avoid it all together.
One common myth surrounding stress is that it’s an illness. Unchecked, sustained stress of any kind can cause us to develop mental and physical health problems which is why it’s so important to address stress before it overwhelms you.
Stress is a chemical response. Regardless of the stimuli, internal, external or environmental, our human response is always the same. Learn about the locus of control and how you can manage your stress levels while you are at home.
