Are you experiencing burnout or perhaps already experiencing symptoms? If so, it is important to address this as soon as possible. Fortunately, most burnout symptoms can be treated. Read here how you can prevent or treat this with seven helpful tips.

Burnout does not usually come out of nowhere. There are often signs of burnout that start subtly but gradually become more apparent. These are the early warning signs that may indicate burnout:

• Constant tiredness;
• Difficulty concentrating and forgetfulness;
• Being more easily irritated;
• Mood swings;
• Poor or restless sleep;
• Feeling that everything is “too much” or having no sense of control;
• Physical complaints such as headaches, muscle pain or heart palpitations;
• Not enjoying things you used to enjoy.

Do you recognise several signs? Then you may be overworked and on the verge of burnout. It is important to address this.

You can reduce the risk by taking good care of yourself. Get enough rest, set boundaries, live healthily and maintain a good work-life balance. Below, you can read what you can do to prevent burnout.

Take conscious breaks throughout the day, even when you are busy. In addition, schedule enough time in your diary for moments of rest, such as a walk, meditation or simply an evening on the sofa.

Set clear boundaries between work and private life. Learn to say no without feeling guilty and make sure you keep your work separate from your personal life as much as possible.

Getting enough sleep is very important for recharging your batteries. Maintain a regular sleep pattern and take the necessary measures to ensure you sleep well. Avoid screens before going to bed, as they can disrupt your sleep.

Make sure you exercise every day, even if it's only for fifteen minutes. Choose activities that you enjoy, such as walking, cycling or yoga. This will make it easier to stick to your exercise goal.

You are not alone. Seek support from friends, family or at work. You can also talk to a burnout coach for extra understanding, advice and possibly exercises.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself and be kind to yourself. Accept that you don't have to do everything perfectly. Practise meditation or breathing techniques to help you relax mentally.

Intranasal red light therapy (via the nose) can prevent or treat burnout. The red light stimulates your energy levels to reduce stress. It also helps you to maintain or restore mental balance and produces endorphins.

Red light therapy is a natural method to promote burnout recovery. It supports you physically and mentally by stimulating your cells with red light. Here's how red light therapy can help you prevent or treat burnout:

• It improves your energy levels by stimulating the mitochondria. This reduces fatigue and gives you more resilience to stress;
• It supports your brain and nervous system by improving blood circulation and oxygen supply to your brain. This improves concentration and clarity;
• It reduces stress and tension by stimulating the natural processes in your body and reducing inflammation. This allows your body to cope better with stress;
• It speeds up your recovery, both physically and mentally. This helps you regain your balance more quickly;
• It supports your hormone balance and can have a positive effect on stress hormones such as cortisol, reducing stress responses.

Intranasal red light therapy, such as that provided by the IN-light laser, is the most effective treatment for this condition. This is light therapy administered through the nose, which stimulates the blood directly and accelerates the healing process. This method has been scientifically proven.

The IN-light laser is an intranasal red light therapy device that can help you prevent or recover from burnout. By using the laser daily, you can make a difference.

IN-light red light therapy can be used anytime, anywhere. You can take the device with you to work, on the go, or use it at home while relaxing on the sofa. This way, there is always time for a session!
