Burnout is an epidemic.

It ruins careers, relationships & mental health.

A study by Deloitte reported a staggering 77% of workers have experienced it at their current job.

But it doesn't have to be this way, says @NathalieRach.

Her Top 4 strategies for avoiding #burnout.
👇
1/ Seek inspiration

Quite literally everything is more difficult if we don't believe in WHY we are doing it.

From careers & fitness, to academic pursuits, spending the time upfront to identify our purpose & motivation can provide us the tailwind we need when things get tough.
2/ Invest in connections

Research shows that deep, personal relationships can impact our physical & mental well-being as much as fitness, sleep or nutrition.

We should treat them this way. Be honest, be vulnerable & seek a few deep, quality connections over many shallow ones.
3/ Do deep work

In a time of unrelenting notifications & distractions, the ability to focus is a superpower.

Long periods of intense focus not only create the conditions for us to do our most rewarding work, but they also provide our brains a very healthy change of pace.
4/ Get out in nature

Immersing ourselves in nature or even bringing more nature (like plants) into our physical spaces can calm our overly stressed minds & bodies.

If physical & mental health are priorities, designing nature into daily routines is not optional, it's essential.
When it comes to managing stress and avoiding burnout, this is obviously just the tip of the iceberg.

@NathalieRach joined me on the Intentional Wisdom podcast to dive deep into all 4 of these strategies.

Are you ignoring one of the most important indicators of your health?

Companies like @whoop, @ouraring and @eightsleep have figured out how important #HRV is and they're building businesses on top of it.

Here's what you need to know.

🧵 Image
1/ WHAT IS #HRV?

Heart rate variability is the measure of the time between each beat of your heart—and more specifically, how that changes over time.
2/ We might know that our Resting Heart Rate is 60, for example, but unlike a metronome, the time between beats is not the same.

Houston, we have a problem.

We've set extremely AMBITIOUS GOALS for ourselves for the year ahead.

But despite our best intentions, the reality is that we LACK THE TIME to actually accomplish them.

The Golden Hour may be the answer we’re looking for.
1/ The Golden Hour is time that you intentionally schedule with yourself FOR YOURSELF.

It can be for your:

• Fitness
• Mental health
• Career
• Side project

or whatever it is that you are striving to improve this year.
2/ Here are the rules for the Golden Hour.

• It is time for you and you alone.
• It doesn't have to be an hour. But it's nice if it is.
• It happens daily, ideally at the same time.

For me, 2022 is The Year of Meaning.

And what better way to start it than by listening to a truly meaningful dialogue between two of my favorite podcasters and authors, @richroll and @tferriss.

Here are the 7 most MEANINGFUL concepts I took away.

1/ Mood follows action.

We tend to (mistakenly) think that we need to change our thinking before we can change our actions.

It turns out the reverse is true more often.

Start with action.

Improved mood and thinking follow.
2/ Addiction is a broad spectrum.

In some way, shape or form we are all addicts to one thing or another.

And there is value in applying parts of the 12-step program in our day-to-day lives including making amends for our wrongs.

Late bloomers get a bad rap.

But that's about to change.

Structural shifts unfolding in today's economy mean that not "having it all figured out" by your 20's may actually put you at an ADVANTAGE.

🧵 #Tweet100
1/ Today's education system is still set up to support the industrial economy. Sit down, be quiet, memorize... and eventually, you might just learn to become a cog in the great wheel and get yourself a guaranteed pension.
2/ Unsurprisingly, this has produced generations of workers who are good at following orders, not causing too much trouble, and completing repetitive tasks. But, there's a problem...

Every time I find myself struggling, either personally or professionally, I ask myself these 4 questions to help me get back on track.

#Tweet100 🧵
1/ Am I sleeping well?

• Have I let my bedtime slip?
• Am I looking at screens an hour before bed?
• Am I getting up at the same time (even on weekends)?
• Am I actually measuring the quality of my sleep?

Sleep is essential. It's when all the growth & restoration happens.
2/ Am I exercising consistently & vigorously?

• Am I out of breath multiple times per week?
• Am I working up a legitimate sweat?
• Am I training for a specific goal?

The benefits of exercise are well-documented but the daily endorphin rush alone can snap us out of bad ruts.

10 lessons on career reinvention
🧵
1/ When you're doing it solely for the money, it's time to go.

•It will never be the ideal time to leave.
•The golden handcuffs only get tighter.
•Money is just one component of 'rewarding' work.
2/ Leave well.

•How you leave an organization will overshadow every bit of work you did while you were there.
•Exercise grace, humility, and empathy on the way out the door.
•The world is smaller than you think.
