Work stress is a growing concern in Mexico, being the second leading cause of absenteeism at work. This not only affects personal health but also professional performance and interpersonal relationships. Burnout manifests gradually through symptoms such as constant fatigue, lack of motivation, concentration problems, irritability, among others.
In the current context, many women are affected by the fast pace of life, leading them to extreme exhaustion. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 60% of women between 25 and 45 years old in Mexico have experienced extreme burnout due to workload and lack of self-care. It is crucial for them to learn to set limits, prioritize themselves, and care for their well-being.
Self-care is not a luxury but a necessity. It is important to learn to say "no" and establish healthy boundaries without feeling guilty. Disconnecting from technology, regular exercise, proper nutrition, and social support are key to preventing and combating burnout. Talking to friends, family, or a therapist can make a difference in mental and emotional health.
Personal well-being must be a priority, as chronic burnout not only affects quality of life but also increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, sleep disorders, and other health problems. It is essential to recognize the warning signs and take action to regain energy and balance. Prioritizing oneself is not selfish; it is essential for maintaining physical and emotional health.
