Six out of every ten employees in a survey spanning 15 countries indicated that they are experiencing increased stress in the workplace, and this prevalence and the negative effects of work stress have become so profound that health professionals in 2019 redefined burnout as a “syndrome” resulting from improperly managed workplace stress.
You know the immense satisfaction that comes with the completion of a busy day.
The importance of rest and relaxation.
You don’t always have to take a long vacation to feel the benefits of some good rest and relaxation. Even taking short breaks throughout the day can have a positive effect on your brain by helping you to stay focused during periods of work, keeping the cloudiness of mental fatigue at bay, and even increasing creativity.
Without these short breaks throughout the day or an evening off at least once a week, our brains become overwhelmed. Too much work can lead to stagnation, stress, and a significant decrease in mental health.
