Have you hit a mid-year slump?

BURNOUT 🔥 // Today I appeared on Channel Nine's Today Extra Program with Richard Wilkins and Sylvia Jeffreys talking about Burnout. Recent research 📃 by Infinite Potential of over 2,000 people in 43 countries shows that it has increased by 27% since 2020 and has gone up to 42% for women and down to 30% for men. Their research also shows that the highest level of wellbeing and quality of work comes from a hybrid work arrangement of 2 to 3 days per week in the workplace. If you are feeling burnt out, you will probably be lacking in energy, feeling exhausted and distant from people and your work and have reduced professional efficacy. You are also twice as likely to feel lonely 🥺 and you could be stressed at work for a while and then suddenly feel burnt out. However, you could talk to your manager about restructuring your job (especially if you have been asked to increase productivity with artificial intelligence), make use of the free and confidential Employee Assistance Program available to over 50% of Australian employees (and only used by less than 5% of people), use external mental health services (via a referral from Lifeline Australia) or develop your own support network of trusted friends and professional advisers. Ultimately, you need to avoid cyberloafing and wasting time on the internet 📱and focus on rejuvenating activities 🚶that help you have those difficult conversations so that you can feel safe and well at work and achieve the right level of challenge and output. If you are feeling you are at the end of the road, the first thing is to not panic, look at the bigger picture of work and life and find ways to support yourself now and then strategically plan your next steps.

For many, the mid-year mark can feel like a roadblock. You’ve made it through six months of hard work and are now technically on the other side, yet the end of the year could not seem further away. According to a 2023 global workplace report by analytics company Gallup, 47 per cent of Australian workers experienced daily stress, one of the highest stress rates in the world. As we trudge past the mid-year point, how can we identify burnout, and what are some ways to overcome it?

Are you feeling the mid-year slump? As we navigate the midpoint of the year, many of us might start to feel the dreaded "mid-year slump." It’s a natural phase in our annual cycle when the initial excitement of what the new year may bring has waned, and the year-end goals still seem so far from our reach. If you are in Australia, you are also battling the coldest start to winter in decades. Fun times! But fear not, this is the perfect time to focus on your well-being and building your resilience through your daily habits! 🔄 Consistency: Simple routines like morning rituals, exercise, or setting daily goals create stability. 🧘♂️ Mindfulness: A few minutes of mindfulness or meditation daily can reduce stress and improve focus. 💪 Physical Activity: Regular exercise boosts both physical and mental health. 📚 Continuous Learning: Keep your mind sharp with books, online courses, or challenging hobbies. 🤝 Connections: Maintain strong relationships. Meaningful conversations with loved ones and colleagues offer support and perspective. Remember, resilience isn’t built overnight. It’s the small, consistent actions we take each day that fortify us against challenges and help us thrive, even during the mid-year slump. Let’s embrace this period as an opportunity for growth and reflection. 💡 Do you need some inspiration for some simple, daily actions you can take to help build your resilience through this challenging time?

There’s a new trend sweeping through society…. And [thankfully] it has nothing to do with toxic diet culture. It’s a feeling. I recently did a ‘vibe check’ with over 7,000 people and it turns out over 85% of us are feeling ‘mid’ right now, AKA pretty damn average. The struggle is real. And I get it. My energy, attitude and mood is just not it. So, how am I shifting the slump? I’m reminding myself that it’s okay to be feeling a little bit unmotivated right now, and not to put too much pressure on myself. You shouldn’t either. I’m so proud of Kic’s mid-year campaign and challenge. It’s not about going hard or completely overhauling your routine. It’s all about easing your way back to feeling good by taking small sustainable steps. We’ve helped thousands of community members stay motivated to move from ‘meh’ to motivated, and our sale and challenge is open ‘til Sunday if you want to come Kic’ it with us! A big thanks to Teneal Zuvela and Marie Claire for helping me unpack my mid-year slump! https://lnkd.in/gDJ-ZBiZ
