We all have stressful days. But when stress, concerns and intense work pressures go untreated, it can very quickly result in burnout and its associated fatigue and exhaustion.
When your body is in a sympathetic (fight or flight) state for too much of the time, it will be breaking it down quicker than it is repairing itself. The Orion Somatic Reset program has been developed to switch the body from this state to the parasympathetic state (heal and repair).
You might think of it as a fairly new phenomenon or the product of our always-on modern-day culture, but the term burnout is actually believed to have been coined in the 1970s to describe the extreme stress condition that can lead to severe physical, mental and emotional exhaustion. Put simply, it’s when the pressures and stresses of normal working life become too much for you to handle and you simply can’t cope anymore.
Stress affects your heart, muscles, nervous system, digestion, and even sexual drive.
You could suffer from chronic fatigue or have major emotional exhaustion. You might feel totally disengaged from the job at hand, have major Sunday blues thinking about heading into the office the next day, or struggle to get through the working day without feeling totally stressed out and unable to concentrate. The feeling of reaching breaking point isn’t purely emotional or psychological — burnout can manifest in more physical ways too.
To cope with all this, it’s essential to have time to reset and gain perspective for the way forward, with the guidance of our experienced, professional therapeutic team. Allow yourself to stop and breathe in our healing bay in Koh Phangan Island. Find true invigoration in our community and wellness centre, and we’ll take care of the rest.
