Burnout can be defined as a depletion of one's energy and can refer to a lack of physical, mental, and emotional capacity to do anything.
Although it's often associated with job-related stress and being overworked without sufficient rest, burnout can go beyond the 9-5, says Judy Klipin, a Martha Beck certified master life coach and Author of Recover From Burnout.
"I definitely think that COVID has exacerbated it," says Klipin on the rise in burnout levels during lockdown.
"It shone a spotlight on it and has made it more OK for people to start talking about it."
Klipin joined Cindy Poluta on an episode of The Reset to expand on what burnout really is, and how to recognize and deal with it in a healthy manner. The Reset is everything you need to thrive in 2023.
Cindy Poluta’s latest series gives expert tips for navigating the world beyond lockdown… refining your relationships, putting yourself first again, learning to let go – but also how to stay safe.
