Essential nighttime rituals to unwind after a long day

A long day is mentally and physically fatiguing. Muscles tense, your head heavy, and all the energy that fueled you during the day is completely drained. Your attempts to end the day uneventfully ‘bedrotting’ and ‘doomscrolling’ won’t recharge you. You won’t feel refreshed even the next day, especially if it’s the middle of the week with days of built-up mental exhaustion. Avoid using your phone, as the blue light can disrupt your sleep and make you feel more tired the next day. To fully recharge, engage in these daily rituals that will help take the load off your shoulders at the end of the day.(Pexels)

Are you mistaking burnout for stress? Signs to be aware of

Stress is a temporary reaction categorised by a sense of urgency caused by challenges or situations. But burnout is a prolonged process of being exposed to exhaustion. “Stress is often a temporary reaction to life's challenges, sparking urgency, anxiety, and even temporary boosts in productivity. But left unchecked, it can erode our well-being, leading to burnout—a prolonged state of emotional and physical exhaustion. With burnout, hope dims as feelings of detachment, failure, and helplessness set in. It's more than just a bad day; it's a continuous sense that nothing will improve,” explained Psychologist Carolyn Rubenstein in a social media post. Here are some of the signs that it is burnout, and not stress.(Unsplash)
