12: How to Know When to Pull the Brake, Part 1 (Physical & Emotional Symptoms of Chronic Stress)
Manage episode 374297640 series 3480790
How do you know if you are pushing yourself in a healthy way, or pushing too hard, potentially leading to burnout?
I meet high-achieving women leaders daily who are used to excelling in all areas of their lives. They get so much done and are very successful, but sometimes that hyper-achievement goes too far and they start noticing symptoms.
I’m dedicated to supporting these women to thrive in their roles without sacrificing their health and happiness.
I’m sure that you feel that a certain amount of stress and pressure comes with the job of being a leader.
But when does that pressure become too much? When does it become unhealthy?
This episode is the first in a series of How to Know When to Pull the Brake, starting with listing the physical & emotional symptoms of chronic stress and exhaustion. Next week will go into the second part, the cognitive symptoms.
Why is this so important to know?
Because the faster you pull the brake when you start noticing symptoms, the faster the recovery.
Listening to your body’s signals and adapting accordingly is key to performing at a high but sustainable level.
