Holistic Wealth is the Antidote to Burnout with Bestselling Author Keisha Blair Holistic Wealth With Keisha Blair

In this exciting episode of the Holistic
Wealth podcast were discussing Holistic Wealth as the antidote to burnout and
the burnout crisis. According to a recent article in CNBC, burnout is on the
rise worldwide, especially among women and younger workers. More than 10,000
workers were surveyed in six different countries and over 40% indicated they
were burned out.

What Is Burnout?

The World Health Organization defines
burnout as increased mental distance from one’s job, energy depletion and
increased negativity. Burnout can be seen as a misalignment with our values and
what we are currently doing because it often arises when we are overworking or
overextending ourselves in areas that do not align with our core values or
personal goals. When we continuously engage in activities or tasks that are not
meaningful or fulfilling to us, we begin to experience a sense of disconnection
or dissatisfaction, which can lead to burnout. For example, if someone values
spending quality time with their family but works long hours and has little
time to spend with loved ones, they may experience burnout as they feel
disconnected from their values and goals. Similarly, if someone values
creativity and self-expression but works in a job that does not allow them to
utilize their creative skills, they may feel unfulfilled and experience burnout
as a result. The NEW Holistic
Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption,
Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom (now available )
emphasizes the art of recovery from disruption and has tips and strategies for
managing burnout. The Holistic Wealth framework, developed by Keisha Blair and
outlined in this book is the antidote to burnout.

When we experience burnout, it is often a
sign that we need to re-evaluate our priorities and make changes in our lives
that align with our values and personal goals. This may involve setting
boundaries, saying no to certain activities or commitments, or even changing
careers or lifestyles to better align with our values and priorities.

By aligning our actions with our values,
we can create a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives that can help
prevent burnout and promote overall well-being. When we engage in activities
that align with our values, we are more likely to feel a sense of satisfaction,
motivation, and joy, which can help us maintain a healthy work-life balance and
prevent burnout.

Racism and microaggressions at work can
contribute to burnout by creating a hostile work environment and causing
chronic stress for employees of color. Racism refers to the systemic and
institutionalized practices that disadvantage people of certain races or
ethnicities, while microaggressions are subtle and often unintentional acts of
discrimination or prejudice that can have a cumulative impact on the
recipient's mental and emotional well-being.

When employees experience racism and
microaggressions at work, it can lead to a range of negative health outcomes,
including anxiety, depression, and burnout. The constant exposure to
discriminatory attitudes and behaviors can create a sense of hypervigilance and
stress, which can trigger the body's stress response system and lead to
physical and mental exhaustion.

Employees who experience racism and
microaggressions at work may also feel a sense of isolation and lack of
belonging, which can further contribute to burnout. When employees feel like
they are not valued or respected in their workplace, it can undermine their
motivation and sense of purpose, making it more difficult for them to stay
engaged and productive on the job.
