Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

Burnout is a very easy, digestible book that breaks down stress and managing burnout. Nothing in this book was particularly new for me, but this is definitely a book I will recommend to clients to assist them in understanding the nervous system and learning how to complete the stress cycle.
Tl;dr takeaways from this book:
- 20-60 minutes of physical activity/day helps complete the stress response cycle
- Other activities that assist with completing the stress response cycle: breathing, positive social interaction, laughter, affection, crying, & creative expression
- “Human Giver Syndrome� sucks
- Women’s brains take twice as long as men’s to shift into a state of helplessness when under stress!
- It is healthier to be 70+ pounds “overweight� than it is to be 5 pounds underweight
- 42% is our day should be dedicated to rest (i.e. 14 hours for work/kid stuff, 8 hours for sleep, 30 minutes for connection, 30 minutes for exercise, 30 minutes for food, and 30 minutes for something individual that provides restoration)
