New Delhi . Burnout (work fatigue) has become extremely common among people and poses a major challenge to both individuals and corporations. That’s why it’s important to take preventive steps to manage our stress levels and seek support whenever we need it. Namita Pipraiya, Yoga and Ayurveda Lifestyle Specialist, Founder of Yoganama guides the journey of health and wellness.

Take a break carefully

Mindfulness is an accessible and highly effective form of self-care. You learn to separate your overloaded senses from all distractions and focus purely on yourself, your body, your breath, and the sensations you feel. It helps you shift your brain from constantly doing mode to just being mode. It enables you to tap into a state of boundless peace and tranquility that is always within your reach. You can take mindfulness breaks while sitting at your desk and focusing on your breath.

Practice Yoga Nidra

If you start seeing early signs of burnout like irritability, disinterest in your work, lack of motivation and lethargy, you should start making time for some yoga nidra. Yoga Nidra is an excellent practice to incorporate into your daily routine. You can practice it for 10 minutes or 40 minutes during the day or before sleeping. It all depends on what works for you. The best part is all you have to do is lie down and listen to the teacher’s instructions. It takes you into a soothing pre-meditative state which is excellent for relaxation and improving cognitive skills.

Explore Guided Visualization-

One of the most powerful ways to influence our body and mind is through visualization. It helps to condition the mind to achieve our goals and refocus our energy towards our vision. You can also use visualization and imagery to reset your nervous system with a relaxing guided meditation. A popular one is the garden scene. Even if you are only seeing them in your mind, its effect on your body is very powerful.

Lastly, enlist the help of others-

You don’t have to fight all your battles alone. Especially when it comes to work, you must definitely seek help when you need it. Whether from coworkers, human resources, or supervisors. It can be difficult, but it can also be rewarding.

Remember, your mental health is a priority, so don’t let it suffer.
