BUrning out & Bouncing back

I experienced my first burnout at the age of 24 – I’d quit my marketing job of 4 years, dropped out of school (I had 1 semester left), and discontinued my 4-year yoga practice. Then, I completely lost my identity, became borderline homeless (crashing couches daily), and began serving tables to make ends meet. When the body, mind and spirit undergo too much stress for a prolonged period of time, it begins to hit a wall (see quitting job, college and yoga practice) and deteriorates–and when we’re looking at burnout, we’re looking at the risk of illness, disease, and even death.

Workplace stress

Employees are 50% more likely to quit their jobs within the next year… due to high stress in the workplace. Moreover, workplace stress has been linked to a 40% increase in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (American Institute of Stress, National Institute of Health)… not cute. If you’re under stress, you’re more likely to be in a bad mood; if you’re constantly under stress, you’re pretty much always in a bad mood; while stress and disease go hand-in-hand , there’s also a direct link to negative emotions and poor cognition. Long story short, negative emotions will hinder executive functions, leading to poor decision-making  skills, and diminish productivity. It ain’t cute for the employees, and it ain’t cute for the employers.
