Feeling Burnout?

 


  Have you heard the word of burnout? No, it's not burnout of spinning car wheels, it's more like a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. Burnout reduces productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless and hopeless. Burnout doesn't happen immediately. It's a gradual process that builds with stressors from your job or school. So, do you feel burnout? If you are still confused here are some example burnout signs. 

  Exhaustion. You may feel drained and unable emotionally to deal with problems around you, either professional or personal. You may feel extreme tiredness, low feeling, or loss of motivation. They often lack the energy to get their work done. 

  Reduces performance. Burnout mainly affects everyday tasks at work, school, or at home. People with burnout have difficulty concentrating, lack creativity, and are very negative about their tasks. 

  Alienation from work-related activities. People who feel burnout are increasingly stressed and frustrating. They start to distance themself emotionally, feeling numb about their work and environment. They start cynical about their working condition and even the people they work with.

  If you feel one of the signs you may try a relaxing activity such as yoga or meditation. It could help to release the tension in our bodies. Another one you could do is get enough sleep. Sleep is vital for good physical and mental health. If you aren't getting enough because of anxiety over your job, it's likely to lead to burnout. 

  Alright mates, that is about burnout. Once again burnout is not the same as stress or depression. So people with burnout don't always have depression. But burnout may increase the risk of someone getting depression. Hopefully, this information is helpful to you and as always, have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

About Telekinesis

    Have you ever dreamed to able moving objects around with your mind, like in a film? The power of telekinesis has captured the imagination of scientists, psychics, and fiction writers for centuries unproven by science.   So what is the definition of telekinesis? Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement". If we combine together, it refers to the apparent ability to move physical objects using only the mind and without any physical interaction.   The idea of telekinesis has been in the imagination of fiction writers for ages, allowing the characters to demonstrate telekinetic abilities to move objects, restrain opponents, and levitate for dramatic effect.   However, many have claimed to have telekinetic abilities and believe that telekinesis is possible, but no one has yet be
