Let’s Talk about Emotional Exhaustion

Kamini would like to take a moment to talk about what’s happening in Ukraine. At the time of this recording, a lot of new information about the war is coming up and she has been feeling very overwhelmed by what’s going on.    What do we do when we feel emotionally drained like this, especially by events that seem so out of our control? If you feel like you’ve been in this state for a very long time, then it’s important to also talk to your doctor about this, as there could be something else going on.    Emotional exhaustion is typically an accumulation of stress from everyday life that you’re not releasing in a healthy way. We all have stress, but too much of this can be a detriment to our health and wellbeing.    What are some of the signs of emotional exhaustion? Feeling tired all the time, sleep problems; including oversleeping or restlessness, problems with your appetite, anxiety, and a diminished sense of pleasure in activities you used to feel joy in.    If you’re noticing these patterns, a good way to break out of it is by changing up your routine so you don’t feel drained or stuck. Also, get good at setting boundaries and saying no! If you feel tired, take some time for yourself and practice a bit of self-care, and of course, stay active. When we’re emotionally drained, our bodies still need to move! There’s so much science behind getting a good workout in.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
