Summary
No matter how comfortable or challenging your life is, chances are you suffer from poor concentration, stress, anxiety, or overwhelm with some consistency. Left unchecked, your busy brain can lead to burnout, and while some might argue how to technically define this condition, none would argue it’s a safe state in which to live. With burnout comes an open door where illness, sadness, and pain can enter. On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet a medical doctor whose work is focused on helping people find a way back to balance.
Listen and learn:
- Strategies to calm your busy brain
- The power of a pause
- The importance of a chief wellness officer at work
- Why compassion is needed as a first step, including self-compassion
