Something to think about :

Overall psychological functioning actually peaks between ages 55 and 60.

‘And knowing this highlights why people in this age range may be at their best for complex problem-solving and leadership in the workforce.
History is full of people who reached their greatest breakthroughs well past what society often labels as “peak age”. Perhaps it’s time we stopped treating midlife as a countdown and started recognising it as a peak’.

Today & everyday let’s choose :
Courage over Fear
Compassion over Indifference
Connection & Community over Isolation

If you are feeling low, talk to someone.
If you know someone going through a tough time, reach out to them & check in. It is good to talk, and it can be even better to listen.

Delighted to speak to organisations around the world this evening in an international series of webinars for world mental health day tomorrow.
My talk was on prevention & recovery from burnout.
A recent study highlights rates of burnout of up to 73% in western world. 

Here’s the exact definition : ..

“A syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:

1)Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion.

AND
2)Increased mental distance from one’s job or feelings of negativity or cynicism related to one’s job.

AND
3)Reduced professional efficacy.

Burnout refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.’

The bottom line - if you are starting to feel emotionally depleted and physically exhausted from your work, detached, disillusioned and cynical, then you may well be on the path to burnout. Reach out to your doctor or workplace for support.
