Eustress is good stress. It keeps us motivated and focused- that hit of adrenaline that makes us excited.
When external burnout conditions are present like work overload, lack of support and too many meaningless tasks, we can slip into distress and rely on our addiction to stress hormones to push through.
Distress creates a physical response in the body that is harmful to our physical and mental health unless we have a physical response soon after it is activated.
When distress is chronic, it harms our well being and leads to burnout. As we deal with this overtime, we become "wired and tired," and unable to relax and rest.
Signs of burnout show up in the body as becoming overly controlling impatient and irritable, brain fog, extreme fatigue, resorting to "comfort habits" to numb out or stimulate ourselves, losing motivation.
To reset, you need to identify the root cause, implement boundaries, and reconnection to self with salutogenic activities.
Stay Inspired,
Angela
