Mind over burnout: Transforming mindset for lasting wellbeing

Have you ever felt so exhausted by work that you couldn't keep going? If so, you're not alone. A 2023 report from Simply Business revealed that 56% of small business owners in the UK have experienced poor mental health over the past twelve months. In addition, The Hustle's survey of more than 300 entrepreneurs found that a staggering 63% of them reported experiencing burnout. With these kinds of stats, it's easy to see that modern life significantly contributes to increased stress and burnout among working adults, which affects productivity and wellbeing.

But what if we could transform our mindset to prevent job burnout before it happens? By changing our perspective, we can manage overwhelming stress and prevent burnout from developing all together. Adopting a proactive approach to mental health is the key to maintaining positive wellbeing.

This week, guest writer Angela Rose explores distinct mindsets and their influence on stress management. Here, she examines the benefits of maintaining a positive frame of mind and provide helpful tips on shifting away from negative thoughts to enhance wellbeing and reduce the risk of burnout.

How sleep affects our health in the long term

Sleep often takes a back seat as we prioritise work, socialising, and various other activities. However, what many of us do not realise is that sleep is not just a passive state of rest; it's important for all other aspects of our health. The quality and quantity of our sleep have far-reaching implications on our wellbeing, both in the short term and, perhaps more importantly, in the long term.

This week, guest writer Trichelle Nieuwenhuizen reveals the profound impact of sleep on various aspects of our health, and how neglecting it can lead to serious consequences over time.

Calmer commissioned to launch project to understand the demands and impact on mental health for gig economy workers

The Calmer team are delighted to announce that we have been commissioned to identify how best to support London’s gig economy workers. After extensive research into the issues, we have launched a survey for gig workers to have their say up until 20th November, and following this we will host a free webinar, open to gig workers, entrepreneurs, and businesses who are dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of those in the gig economy.

“We are delighted to have been commissioned to support Londoners who are reliant upon virtual platforms for their work.” said Tania Diggory, Founder & Director of Calmer. “This issue uniquely — though not exclusively — touches on large urban communities that rely on shift, support and delivery services, without acknowledging the workers providing these services. These are often physically demanding jobs with workers either riding bikes or standing on their feet for hours, adding bodily stress to other stresses more common to London workers.”
