Taking Control of Your Well-Being Fact Sheets
The Power of Recharging
We all want to be peak performers and achieve ambitious goals, but there is a collective delusion that burnout is the price we must pay for success. But the science shows that we can improve our well-being and performance through the power of recovery — so we can recharge our mental batteries and bring our best selves to everything we do, even in the face of hardship.
Creating a Culture of Awareness & Compassion
When we combat burnout, we’re better able to tune in to those around us and create a culture of compassion, awareness, and empathy for our colleagues. Caring for ourselves allows us to make room for meaningful connections, mindfulness, gratitude, and giving. While it might be more difficult to lean into these values during a crisis, it’s actually times like these that we need them more than ever.
Taking Charge of Your
Whole Self
As humans, we're more than just intelligent machines. We need to fuel our bodies and minds with adequate sleep, nutrition, and movement. But too often, we neglect our overall well-being. We believe that in order to succeed, we must deprioritize the things that are actually essential to our health and well-being. This, of course, is a recipe for burnout and other negative implications for our physical and mental health.
Working Smarter, Not Longer
Burnout is fueled by many factors, but one of the biggest is the belief that if we work longer hours, "power through," and neglect our well-being, we'll outperform the competition and find the success we're looking for. And the tendency — the temptation, even — to keep pushing ourselves well past our limits for the sake of productivity has only gotten worse.
