5. Use Stress Management Techniques

Ever heard of mindfulness? Most likely you have come across it at one stage or another. Mindfulness is one of the most powerful tools in your burnout recovery toolbox. A recent study confirmed the beneficial effects of meditation on healthcare professionals who had experienced burnout following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the healthcare system.

Despite all of the jargon, mindfulness is essentially a process of being fully present and aware of what is going on in your life at any given time. When we become mindful, we can accept what is going on in our lives and respond to events as they happen, rather than reacting in a panicked state and allowing them to overwhelm us. Mindfulness can help you gain control of your emotions, which can have a significant impact on both your work and personal life.
