burnout

/

You are lying down and feeling warm. You close your eyes and the lights go dim. You slow your breath. Unwrinkle your brows. The needles begin their magic. Acupuncture can be pretty ‘magical’ - as much as it is healing. An excellent remedy for our times.

As you relax into the energy-moving needles experience. As you reach that alpha state you couldn’t quite get to during your morning meditation. Acupuncture is simply as much as it is complexly an excellent remedy. Why remind you of this now?

A patient sent me a link to an article in the New York Times, “We Have All Hit a Wall” . And then I got an NPR email. Same subject. BURNOUT.

Acupuncture can be an excellent diffuser of all the ways we feel when we are BURNT OUT.

From NPR's 'The New Normal'. Friday April 9...

A recent survey by the job site Indeed found more than half of workers are feeling burned out. It's worse for remote workers, who say working from home is becoming monotonous and draining. Things have gotten so bad that LinkedIn recently decided to give its employees an entire week of paid time off at the same time around the world, as CNN reported. Some large tech companies have announced that their employees can choose to work from home forever. Other companies are trying to lessen the burden of Zoom burnout. Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser announced a new "Zoom-Free Fridays" policy, banning video calls on Fridays to combat what she calls "the relentlessness of the pandemic workday."

 

If this feels too familiar or too true, join the pack.

We must be ‘on’ for BURNOUT right now. And it isn’t that it finally arrived. It is just its latest version.

Patients come to acupuncture feeling all sorts of out-of-sorts ways - depressed, overwrought, unfocused, unproductive, lethargic. And while they don’t always call it BURNOUT, it is often where they are.

Now, with the over-long pandemic sequestering, patients are frazzled, anxious, melancholy, despondent, exhausted, confused. BURNOUT is as likely a cause mid-pandemic as pre-pandemic.

If you are in need of an energy restore or reset. If you are in need of unwinding and redirecting. If your ‘channels need moving’ and your mind needs clearing… Acupuncture Works!
