Episode 5
Friday, 22 September, 2023
Welcome back to another episode of The FlowCast, where we dive deep into topics related to finding flow and performing your best. In today's episode, we're shining a spotlight on an issue that affects countless individuals in the workforce – workplace burnout. As always, we've got an insightful presentation lined up for you, so lean in and get ready to gain some valuable knowledge. I recently had the honour of delivering a presentation on managing workplace burnout and fatigue for Peterborough County. The response was overwhelming, with attendees finding the information both practical and eye-opening. This recording was a practice run from that presentation so that you can get the value of everything discussed as well! In our quest to understand burnout better, we also explore different ways to measure stress. From stress trackers to heart rate variability, we'll talk about both objective and subjective methods. We even analyze the trends in stress levels throughout the week, uncovering patterns that may surprise you. Ultimately, the key takeaway from today's episode is the importance of understanding the sources of stress in our lives to prevent burnout. So sit back, relax, and prepare to embark on a journey towards workplace recovery and prevention of burnout. 0:00 Introduction 4:20 Is burnout a real thing? 6:51 Measuring stress 12:00 Deep health dimensions 19:20 Stress plus rest equals growth 22:20 Costs of stress in the workplace 24:00 Break the stress chain 27:00 Active recovery 30:35 The Effortless Rule 32:30 Peak performers have higher highs and lower lows 34:00 Stress mindset 37:00 Become a corporate athletes 40:30 Behavioural activation energy 42:00 The power of full engagement 45:00 The importance of flow at work 50:30 How to get started with these strategies for preventing burnout
