🧠 Ever wonder why you feel so overwhelmed at work? Let’s look at the brain behind the burnout.
When you're under chronic stress, your brain’s amygdala becomes hyperactive. This puts your body in constant "fight or flight" mode, raising cortisol levels and exhausting your nervous system.
Here’s what that means at work:
⚠️ Lower productivity
⚠️ Trouble concentrating
⚠️ Emotional reactivity
⚠️ Sleep disturbances
But you can rewire your brain. Start with:
🧘♂️ Mindfulness practices
🧠 Cognitive reframing
🥗 Nutrition and physical movement
💤 Rest and sleep hygiene
You don’t just need time off, you need tools to support your brain.
