Burnout Coaching & Neurodiversity Support | Stress Coaching UK
Burnout is more than feeling tired after a busy week. It can build slowly when long-term stress, pressure, and emotional demands are not balanced with enough recovery, support, and rest. The World Health Organisation describes burnout as an occupational phenomenon linked to chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, and it is commonly understood through three main areas: exhaustion, detachment, and reduced effectiveness.

Joy: You Find What You Look For
There are days when joy feels easy to spot: a warm drink, a kind message, a laugh at the right moment, a small job finished. On other days, it can feel hidden behind worry, self-criticism or the sense that we are falling behind. The important thing to remember is this: joy is not always a dramatic feeling. Sometimes it is a direction of attention.

Embracing February: A Time for Self-Care and Reflection
February is a funny month. We've got January out of the way, it's lighter for longer, and we're starting to see some signs of spring. Yet, there's still that urge to hibernate. Yesterday, it felt like I had no choice - I spent the whole day in a windowless room. I was delivering training at a specialist critical care centre, a large hospital, conducting workshops for Consultants. We frequently spoke of wellbeing, self-care, and looking after ourselves and our colleagues when the working environment is harsh and the demands of the job are huge.
In our jobs, we are constantly looking for risks, the things that might go wrong. We write and review risk assessments, doing what we can to prevent mishaps. In life in general, looking for the bad stuff keeps us from harm – we look out for the shady character to give them a wide berth, we notice the danger of walking too close to the edge of the pavement. It’s natural. The brain filters out the stuff that we don’t need to worry about – the noise of the robin and the blackbird, the snowdrops poking through. It’s very easy not to notice that good stuff, beautiful stuff is happening all around us.
The good news is the neuroplasticity of the brain – we can train the brain to notice the positives too. Look for the good, note it down and reflect on it. I suggested to the Consultants yesterday that they use some time on their way home thinking about three good things that have happened during their shift. And then, rather than walking in through the door, complaining about the working environment to their significant other, they can enthuse about their wonderful day at work.
Dr. Alan Watkins (Complete Coherence) talks about boosting our deposits, our energy levels by doing more of the activities that we love and doing less of the activities that deplete us. Who says that we have to iron for example? Imagine how much of the world’s energy could be saved if we all stopped ironing? If you like ironing, find it therapeutic, carry on. But I’d rather use the time to be out walking, or reading a book. What activities do you do, perhaps out of habit, or a sense of duty, that you don’t want or need to do really? What will you use that time for instead?
February, the days are getting longer, there are shoots on the trees and bushes, signs of spring. But the weather continues to be grey, murky, and damp. Now is a good time to remind ourselves of the importance of self-care.
