How to Navigate Burnout and Prioritise Yourself

(Without Overcomplicating It)

Feeling drained, overwhelmed, or mentally checked out? You’re not alone.
Search trends show burnout is one of the most talked-about topics globally and for good reason. Between work, home life and everything in between, learning how to recognise burnout and take real steps to prevent it has never been more essential.

Here’s a clear, no-fuss guide to navigating burnout and reclaiming your energy, focus and well-being.

What Is Burnout?

Burnout is more than just being tired - it’s a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress or overwork.
Common signs include:

• Constant fatigue

• Irritability or mood swings

• Trouble sleeping

• Loss of motivation

• Headaches or tension

• Feeling detached from things you usually enjoy

Google trends shows rising searches for “burnout symptoms,” “how to recover from burnout” and “self-care for burnout.” So what actually works?

How to Prioritise Yourself and Prevent Burnout

Here are simple, proven strategies to help reset your energy and mental clarity:

1️⃣ Set Non-Negotiable Boundaries

High-performing people often say yes too often. The key is learning when and how to say no, without guilt.

• Limit working late or checking emails after hours.

• Schedule digital detox time: phones off, mind on pause.

2️⃣ Make Time for Micro Self-Care Moments

You don’t always need a full spa day. Research shows small rituals make a big difference:

• Morning walk or stretch

• Aromatherapy room sprays or shower steamers

• 5-minute breathing exercises or meditation

💡 Our Aromatherapy Room Sprays with lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint are perfect for a quick reset - refreshing your space and calming your mind.

3️⃣ Prioritise Sleep

Lack of rest is both a cause and symptom of burnout. Stick to a wind-down routine:

• Use essential oil sprays like Lavender + Ylang Ylang for sleep support.

• Keep a consistent bedtime, even on weekends.

4️⃣ Declutter Your Space and Mind

Studies show cluttered environments contribute to stress and mental fatigue.

• Refresh your home with natural air fresheners and calming scents.

• Declutter workspaces and digital files to create mental clarity.

Quick Self-Check: Are You Prioritising Yourself?

✅ Am I saying yes to things that drain me?
✅ Am I building in moments of calm each day?
✅ Am I resting enough and creating a sleep-friendly environment?

If not - it’s time to realign.
