It is coming to the time of year when many people are beginning to feel tired and worn-out. With Christmas deadlines looming, pressure at work can build up, and we long for a break. Whilst some tiredness is natural, if you are feeling utterly exhausted and unenthusiastic, and feeling quite differently towards your job than you used to; perhaps you dread waking up on workdays or hate your job, whereas you used to enjoy it. then it is possible you are suffering with burn-out.

Burn-out is classified as an occupational phenomenon, not a medical condition. It occurs when someone has continually over-worked or been stressed for a protracted period of time.

The three main symptoms are:

1. Feeling depleted or exhausted

2. Having an increased sense of mental distance from your job, or feelings of negativity or cynicism to your work

3. Reduced professional efficacy. You may find it difficult to focus or come up with your normal level of ideas or enthusiasm.

Check out our latest blog post for more information about burn-out, it's causes, and ways to help overcome it:

Today marks National Schizophrenia Awareness Day, which aims to shine a light on the condition and tackle the stigma surrounding it.

National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau, who was born on July 12, 1817. Thoreau was an advocate of living in harmony with nature and enjoying a simple life, about which he wrote a number of well known books on the subject.

In the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phones, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment.

“I do believe in simplicity… simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run”

Alcohol Awareness Week runs from 1 - 7 July. It aims to raise awareness of the harm caused by alcohol and learn more about the role that alcohol plays in society.

Physical Effects:

One of the more well-known physical effects of consuming alcohol is the effect it can have on our liver. Regular and excessive consumption of alcohol can cause our liver to become damaged and inflamed, impairing its ability to function properly. Alcohol can also damage the heart. The British Heart Foundation warns that heavy drinking can lead to high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy and increased risk of a stroke.

Mental Health Effects:

Alcohol is often used as a tool to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression. However, excessive alcohol consumption can actually have the opposite effect and exacerbate anxiety and depression. This can lead to a vicious cycle of drinking to cope with negative emotions.

Support:

There are a range of resources available across the UK to support you to stop drinking, including helplines and support groups. At Blackwood Consultants, our therapeutic coaches are experienced in dealing with addiction and can work with you to explore your relationship with alcohol, help you to set goals, and support you to achieve them.
