90% of people say they are not living the life they dreamed of and if they could live it over again, they would make different choices.

According to CNBC, more than 48 million workers have quit their jobs in the past 18 months and there are no signs of it slowing down. The main reasons for them quitting, in addition to low wages, include burnout and stress at work, lack of growth and development opportunities, not feeling respected/included or working in a toxic culture, and lack of flexibility. All of these factors can have an adverse effect on our mental and emotional well-being.

The World Health Organization (WHO) characterizes “burnout” as feeling energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance or feelings of cynicism related to their jobs; and reduced professional proficiency. These circumstances reinforce the importance of self-care. Furthermore, employee surveys across industries have supported higher performance and satisfaction levels within employees who reported to take self-care days.

As in 2020, American workers across the board saw heightened rates of burnout in 2021, and according to APA’s 2021 Work and Well-being Survey of 1,501 U.S. adult workers, 79% of employees had experienced work-related stress in the month before the survey. Nearly 3 in 5 employees reported negative impacts of work-related stress, including lack of interest, motivation, or energy (26%) and lack of effort at work (19%). Meanwhile, 36% reported cognitive weariness, 32% reported emotional exhaustion, and an astounding 44% reported physical fatigue—a 38% increase since 2019.
