Season 3 Episode 8: Finding the balance between work and personal life; how to manage your stress levels and not lead to burnout.

Today’s episode has been on a quite an intense subject, but one that we’ve had quite a few requests for us to discuss - so we hope we did it justice! Stress can be both good and bad, the adrenaline can motivate, but too much can feel overwhelming and lead to burnout. It’s about finding that balance between driving and drowning, feeling strong enough to take on more but not too much that you struggle to keep your head above water, and about finding that balance between working and living your best life. There is always so much more than can be talked about when it comes to stress and burnout and sharing new coping mechanisms. We have kept the episode fairly light hearted, but there is a serious element to this and if you are struggling it’s important to seek help and find a way to overcome your issues - please don’t suffer in silence, you’re not the only oneWork/Life balance IS important - like everything in life, you need a balance. Making sure you have time to relax, just be you, or time to spend doing sports or crafts, or which ever activities you enjoyIf you feel overwhelmed, take a step back, or step away from the situation, get some space to clear your head. Go to the tea point to let off steam (excuse the pun) or pop out for some fresh airSeek out support, build a network of trust, find the ones you can offload to, but also give you another perspective and reign in your stressful thoughtsSupport the showIf you've liked this episode please rate, follow, subscribe and share :) - and if you already have, thank you!
