    • Stress in the Body

      Stress isn’t just in your head, it’s a full-body experience, rooted in your nervous system

      Short bursts of stress can help you rise to a challenge. We experience stress when there is a gap between what we are expected to do, and what we are able to do. Stress gathers resources in your body. You will think faster, run faster, and get more done. Stress helps bridge the gap between expectation and ability. Its useful. In the short term.

      Expectations > Stress > Ability

      Time is a key factor in whether or not stress helps or hurts. When demands keep piling up without enough recovery, your nervous system gets overwhelmed.

    • Burnout

      "Burnout is the final depletion of energy as a result of deeply caring way too much for way too long without any indication of progress"

      -Emily & Amelia Nagoski-

      In: Burnout

      When we look at stress as a gap between expectations and ability, burnout happens when that gap is chronic, AND you have lost hope of ever bridging the gap. The combination of ongoing overwhelm without the feeling of progress, leads to a system shutdown.

      While it is hard to estimate worldwide numbers, experts agree that the rates of burnout are rising globally. Stressors come at you every minute of every day, and our bodies are in a state of non-stop hypervigilance. Several reports have suggested percentages ranging from 28% to 50% of people feeling symptoms early of burnout.

      A Whole Body Picture of Burnout

      The World Health Organization defines burnout as a psychological phenomenon caused by chronic workplace stress.

      But biologically, burnout is much more than that. In my view, clinical burnout is your body pulling the emergency brake. The accumulated stress has become so severe that, in a final attempt to protect you, your autonomic nervous system shuts your system down.

      This is physiological at its very core, and it often has to do with a variety of stressors that come at you from multiple angles (not just work).
