Stress and Burnout
Stress is a normal part of life, and in small amounts, it can help you stay motivated and focused. However, when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can take a serious toll on your physical and mental health. Left unmanaged, prolonged stress can lead to burnout — a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. Burnout often leaves you feeling drained, disconnected, and unable to meet the demands of daily life.
Stress and burnout can arise from various sources, such as work pressures, caregiving responsibilities, or personal challenges. When left unchecked, they can impact your energy levels, productivity, relationships, and overall sense of wellbeing. Recognising the signs early and seeking support can help you regain balance, build resilience, and prevent further burnout.
