16 NOVEMBER 2023 GLENFIELD GAZETTE In 2019, the World Health Organisation (WHO) officially recognised ‘burnout’ as an occupational phenomenon resulting from “chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed”. The distinction between work-related stress and burnout is in the word ‘chronic’. While stressors come and go, burnout is a state of complete physical and emotional exhaustion. The symptoms range from constant fatigue to self-doubt and procrastination. Noticing the signs is the first step. Ask yourself: Have you become irritable or impatient? Do you lack the energy to be productive? Do you feel dissatisfied or disillusioned when you think about your job? Are you finding it hard to sleep? Are you overeating for comfort or not eating at all? Solutions • Simply noticing our feelings is the first step to recovery. Practising mindfulness is a way of pressing pause and allowing ourselves to return to a baseline sense of calm. • Support from your manager or guidance from colleagues or friends can help you cope. Many workplaces offer access to an Employee Assistance Programme, which you can use for free, confidential support. • Saying ‘no’ to requests or meetings you don’t have the time or energy for could be the difference between a packed schedule and an open one, or between working long hours and hitting deadlines without stress. Setting more personal boundaries can free up both your work and personal life and reduce feelings of burnout.

A recent study by scientists at Franklin Pierce University has found that early morning exercise can help you lose weight more easily, reduce your BMI, and slim down your waist. It is thought that the ‘fasted state’ after you wake up could be the reason for this weight loss edge. As one assistant professor of exercise physiology explains: “Exercise can burn fat and glucose,” Dr Ma said. “After an overnight fast, the glucose stored in our body is low. Therefore, when we exercise our muscles are likely to burn more fat.” He recommends 40 minutes of aerobic exercise before breakfast, such as running or biking. The findings have been published in Obesity, The Obesity Society’s (TOS) journal.

GLENFIELD GAZETTE NOVEMBER 2023 17 UK libraries offering more than just books PUBLIC LIBRARIES in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are preparing to open ‘warm hubs’ for people struggling to heat their homes this winter. The initiative was introduced last year amid the sharp rise in energy costs. As well as offering free, heated spaces, libraries will host cultural activities, provide free hot drinks, and some will run advice sessions on topics like household budgeting. “With temperatures dropping, and the price of essentials continuing to rise, it is a sad fact that many people will again be wondering how they will heat their homes this winter,” said Isobel Hunter, chief executive of the charity Libraries Connected. “Libraries will be there to offer a warm space and a warm welcome – not only to those who are struggling to pay their energy bills, but anyone who’s looking for company, conversation or advice.” Source: Positive News www.sameeharestaurant.co.uk Do YOU run a club, team or association in Glenfield?
