<h5>Why do I always feel tired?</h5>

<p>It’s hard to feel healthy when you’re feeling stressed.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-deal-with-stress">Stress</a> is something we all experience to varying degrees. It’s part of being human, and it can be beneficial - helping us navigate certain situations. But too much stress for too long can impact our health and wellbeing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While everyone has different coping strategies, there are several<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-deal-with-stress"> ways to keep your mind and body calmer</a>.</p>
<p>One way to reduce stress is to drink less caffeine. Caffeine blocks the receptors in your brain that help to ‘slow down’ your nervous system. This means you produce more adrenaline, which may trigger the<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/cortisol-and-stress-levels"> fight or flight response</a>.</p>
<p>Another strategy is to<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-deal-with-stress"> reframe your thinking</a>. Feeling stressed can come from interpreting the environment you’re in as threatening. So, checking in with yourself and remembering that you’re safe is a great way of dealing with that stress.</p>
<p>Exercise can also help to reduce stress - it triggers your brain to produce endorphins: feel-good brain chemicals that also serve as your body’s natural painkillers.</p>
<p>Need more help? Our experts can help you better manage stress with our<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/programs/ways-to-feel/stress-less"> free Stress Less program</a>, designed to give you a little support to manage daily stress.</p>

<h5>How do I deal with stress?</h5>

<p><a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-recognise-burnout">Burnout</a> is individual and complex, but there are some symptoms to look out for.</p>
<p>The primary sign of burnout is fatigue, or an overwhelming sense of exhaustion. It may feel like you don’t have enough energy to deal with tasks that involve emotional or physical effort.</p>
<p>Another symptom is feeling negative or cynical about work. People who are experiencing burnout often try to give themselves some distance from work and feel disconnected from colleagues or clients. And then there’s feelings of inefficacy. Feelings of incompetence, lowered performance or work quality often go with the experience of burnout.</p>

<h5>How do I know if I’m experiencing burnout?</h5>

<p>A key part of<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/what-is-resilience"> resilience</a> is your ability to adapt. Adapting means being able to make adjustments (physical, emotional, mental) based on changing information and circumstances. The more you are able to adapt, the more resilient you will be.</p>
<p>Resilience is something that we can develop in a number of ways, just like building a muscle.</p>
<p>One way to build resilience is to build healthy, positive relationships with empathetic and understanding people. The stronger your relationships are, the better your ability to deal with adversity.</p>
<p>Making time to foster mental wellness is also important to building resilience. Try to find some time in your week for mindfulness practices like journaling, yoga, prayer or meditation. A healthy mind doesn’t only help you be more productive in life, it will also help you deal with situations that require resilience.</p>
