Lifestyle Changes That Prevent Burnout: Tips For Busy Professionals

June 24, 2019 //  by Contributor

Lifestyle changes aren’t always easy to adopt, but when you’re a busy professional, it’s important to take steps to ensure that your mental and physical health are in great shape in order to avoid burnout and stay on track with your goals.

Fortunately, there are many things you can do to positively alter the way you live without interfering with your regular schedule. From learning how to take a break to avoid feeling overwhelmed to creating a good diet and exercise routine, there are many ways you can feel better and boost your overall well-being.

Remember that everything from your productivity to your self-esteem can be impacted by your choices. When you take on too much work in both your professional and personal lives, it can lead to unnecessary pressure, which is why it’s important to make sure you learn how to say “no” and know how to take a break when you’re feeling stressed. This will help you take a deep breath and step back for a moment so you can focus on your needs.

Here are a few tips on how to make a few lifestyle changes in order to prevent burnout.

Boost your confidence

Staying busy at work and at home means you probably don’t have much time to spend on yourself, and when you neglect your needs, it’s easy to forget about your value. Sometimes the little things — buying new clothes, taking a class to amp up your resume, or enjoying a new hobby — can really boost your confidence and leave you feeling ready to tackle anything that comes your way, either personally or professionally.

Take a break

You can’t maintain balance in your life if you’re constantly working, and not taking a break is the biggest cause of burnout. Keeping the most important things in life — your health, happiness, and well-being — on track can be difficult without these breaks. When possible, take a vacation. Just taking off for a few days to change the scenery can be therapeutic. You can even do this right here in Nashville without venturing too far from home. Consider taking a holiday in town to take in some of the sights you may never have enjoyed before, like the Parthenon, the Grand Ole Opry, Music Row, or the urban vibrancy of The Gulch. Whatever your speed, look for the perfect rental with your preferred amenities in a neighborhood that matches with your desire to relax and get away.

Take a breath

Vacations are great for relaxing, but what about the rest of the year? It’s important to learn how to beat stress no matter where you are or what you have going on. For busy professionals, this can help with everything from keeping the symptoms of anxiety or depression at bay to helping create a smoother transition between work and home. Meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises are all great tools for those who need to relax in the moment, because they can be done just about anywhere.

Unplug

Often it’s extremely difficult for busy professionals to take time away from their computers, smartphones, and other devices to unplug for a little while. You may feel that not being available 24/7 will hurt your business or will take you away from something important, but the fact is, if you don’t set aside technology now and then, you’re risking burnout from several different angles. Not only is it bad for your mental health, it’s bad for your physical health as well. Make it a point to set your phone aside during dinner and time with your family, and shut down the computer well before bedtime in order to get better sleep.

Making some lifestyle changes to ensure burnout isn’t an issue can take some time, so try to be patient and think of the best ways to alter your routine that make sense for you. With the right moves, you can prevent career burnout and stay balanced in every aspect of your life.
