Keynote:<\/span>
Dr.\u00a0 Harrison-Swartz discussed stressors and how each individual’s perception of them is going to determine how they react physically and psychologically. Burnout occurs when individuals experience stress without relief. Burnout manifests itself as exhaustion, disengagement, loss of motivation, and depression. The pandemic has exposed us all to internal and external stressors for two years and it is taking its toll.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategies to Combat Burnout<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mindfulness<\/strong> is important as it makes us acknowledge our inner selves and be better prepared to take steps to better cope with the stressors in our lives: \u201cMindfulness is a non-judgmental way of paying attention to the present moment\u201d (Centre for Mindfulness Studies).<\/span><\/p>\n
