Are you starting to feel fatigued from this marathon of a pandemic or are you actually getting closer to being completely burnt out?
During a recent poll that I took with just under 400 leaders from the financial industry during my webinar called ‘Resilience & your Leadership in a Changing World’, 61% of them reported to being either stressed out or burnt out. This is a frightening statistic.
We know that a little bit of stress can be motivating, it can challenge us & help us to meet deadlines but what we must become aware of is that tipping point when we start to slide down the slippery slope to burnout.
The thing is, we don’t wake up one morning burnt out. It’s more like a slow gas leak that we have been ignoring. 
Click to tweet Our brain & body will send us warning signs to let us know that we are not coping, but the problem is we often choose to ignore these signals. Some of them may include:
Care Factor
We lose interest in our favourite work projects, podcasts, social catchups or even Netflix.
Sleep
We struggle to fall asleep & stay asleep.
Brain Function
We make silly mistakes, forget things or lose concentration easily.
Physical Health
Tummy troubles, cold sores, headaches or inflammation.
Mental Health
Cranky, teary, anxious, or depressed.
Do you recognise these warning signs when your colleagues are ‘tipping over’? Do you recognise them in yourself?
I was recently interviewed about this topic by the very talented and articulate Mitchell Dye on his radio show 94.7 The Pulse, which he then published on his podcast called ‘Mitchell’s Front Page. You can watch and listen to it here.
