As we head closer to the end of the year, a type of fatigue referred to as “end-of-year burnout” is a common experience amongst many. Maryam Mkwanda spoke to life coach Sohail Mahomed to find out how you can identify this fatigue and address it before its too late.
What should I look out for?
After pointing out that end-of-year fatigue could affect people differently according to the individual, Mahomed said that the common signs include constant tiredness and feeling less interested. Other symptoms include low motivation, irritability and a lack of self-esteem.
How to avoid it?
Mahomed said that it is important to identify the root causes of the fatigue many may experience at this time of the year. One of the key reasons, he says, is not taking a break to allow yourself enough rest. He warns that this could have a major effect on your wellbeing and could even result in suicidal thoughts in some instances.
