Do you feel like you are about to burn out, or do you already suffer from burnout? Then you need to act, if you have not already. For example, do not isolate yourself. Self-isolation is a common symptom of burnout, but try to prevent it by reaching out to others. Something as simple as a quick phone call with a close friend or family member may already be enough to help you feel less burnt out. In addition, we list two other activities you can do to relieve your burnout symptoms.
Breathing exercises
Many people with burnout symptoms breathe at rest as if they are in danger. They suffer from high and rapid breathing —if not hyperventilation— without being aware of this. Fortunately, many breathing techniques help you gain control and awareness of the situation. A great example is Pranayama breathing. With this technique, you learn to control your breathing, resulting in more energy and better overall health.
Cold therapy
Cold therapy is a great way to provide relief for people with burnout or stress-related complaints. For instance, it ensures the production of endorphins, also known as the feel-good chemicals in the brain. You will see that after a cold therapy session, you feel relieved and happy.
