What Is Exhaustion?
Humans require occasional relaxation, despite the contemporary workplace culture’s emphasis on hard labor. Lack of sleep can cause the body to shut down and exhibit burnout symptoms, which can impair work output and performance and keep someone from reaching their full potential. Burnout is described as a condition of “extreme tiredness or mental or physical illness caused by working too hard or trying to do too much” by the Cambridge Dictionary. It’s not nice to be in this situation. Although sleep helps us regain our physical and mental health, dietitian Marina Wright claims that there are ‘other dimensions of rest’ that are ‘equally crucial’.
1. Physical Repose
Taking care of one’s body is part of physical rest. It entails stretching, yoga, and getting more than seven hours of sleep each day. Your body becomes more relaxed as a result of all these exercises.
2. Sensory Rest
After work, unplug all of your electronics and take a rest. For your own sanity, it’s a good idea to finish work and then unplug. It might benefit the senses.
3. Mental Rest
Similarly, it is imperative that you take two-hourly breaks during your workday. It can revitalize your mind and improve your ability to focus.
4. Resting Emotionally
Stay loyal to yourself and your feelings. Avoid being a people-pleaser. To maintain your emotional health, be true to yourself.
5. Spiritual Digestion
In order to relax the mind, body, and spirit, it’s also critical to practice meditation and prayer frequently.
6. Social Rest
In a similar vein, keep in mind that spending time with individuals who genuinely matter is sufficient and that you do not always need to be a social butterfly. Spend time with loved ones and friends who uplift and make you feel good about yourself.
7. Creative Digression
Engage and stimulate your artistic side. Make time amid the daily turmoil of life to paint, dance, go for a walk in the outdoors, or listen to music.
