Avoiding Holiday Burn Out

Jill Johnson, LMT

 

 

The demands of an over-scheduled life, especially during the busy the holiday season, can leave you feeling overwhelmed and drained. The loss of energy and commitment, coupled with exhaustion and frustration, can be the first sign that burnout is settling in.

 

However, some research is starting to show that regular exercise can help prevent burnout. According to a recent study by researchers at Tel Aviv University in Tel Aviv, Israel, people who exercise at least 150 minutes per week were significantly less likely to experience job burnout than their underactive counterparts, and those who exercised closer to 240 minutes a week showed little to no signs of job burnout.

 

This should come as no surprise, considering we've known for years that exercise can help relieve symptoms of stress. Feel like 150 minutes is time you don't have? Consider setting aside smaller daily goals. In addition to massage therapy, try squeezing in these mood-boosting activities. (Click HERE to read more)
 

 

 

 


Stop and Smell the Roses
Jess Albright, LGPC
 

With all of the new and fancy technology we have these days there is instantaneous access to limitless information.  With the same technology we also make ourselves accessible 24/7 to the latest and greatest news as well as to the world.  Everything is constantly go, go, go.  But what about all the small joys in life that we have become too busy to enjoy?  What about all the little things we simply overlook anymore?  

 

 

I'm here to propose that you stop and take the time to see, feel, hear, taste, and smell all of the beautiful things around you.  Free yourself from the constant bombardment of updates.  Take some time to enjoy the simple joys that life holds.  It's really quite liberating!  But you don't have to take my word for it.  Here is a list of 30 fun and simple things to do (one for each day of the month) that you can try for yourself.  Kids, parents, adults alike - don't hold back.  Everyone can gain from stopping to smell the roses!
