I know everyone says exercise, but I think there's a cycle. The work burnout makes it hard to exercise. The anxiety presses upon you that you never have time for yourself, but you'll feel better if you can just get over this work hump. Lack of exercise reduces the ability to handle the stress and anxiety.
What you need is a change at work and the exercise to heal the mind. So as you make adjustments at work, also make sure you're setting aside time for any amount of exercise and vitamin d.
Every time I've changed jobs it's been a total reset for me. It takes a while for a job to reach 100% workload and that honeymoon period is usually enough to recover.
I believe that once you feel an unhealthy personal connection to your job it's time to move on. For example, you're upset and exhausted every day because a project you spent two years on isn't gaining traction and may be cut. Or you find yourself regularly checking in while vacation because you're worried.
- alex_suzuki 4y agoThis. I find it really hard to exercise during say an extended lunch break or heaven forbid in the morning. It always feels like I’m missing important work stuff and basically don’t “deserve it yet” (that sounds dumb). Also my mind was either at work or preparing for it. I switched to exercising in the evenings, when I’m “done” with work for the day. Bonus points if you manage to do this with kids… it’s hard, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
