Managing Burnout – Sensory Therapy

Use your senses to reduce burnout. Grounding yourself in sensory experiences can help calm your nervous system and reduce the symptoms of burnout. Here’s how:

• Aromatherapy: Use calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus
• Sound therapy: Listen to soothing sounds like rain, waves, or nature
• Touch: Wrap yourself in a soft blanket or use a weighted blanket for comfort
• Taste: Savor a favorite treat mindfully, focusing on each bite

Engaging your senses can help you feel more present and relaxed, giving your mind a break from burnout.
