Take 30 seconds and move. Get up & stretch. Breaking up long periods of sitting with brief movement breaks can help enhance your well-being. Stand up, roll your shoulders, stretch your arms overhead, and move. #healthyliving #healthin30

Great insights from @DrDimitrios! #burnout #wellness
Going on vacation will not help you overcome burnout. Feelings of overwhelm and dread return the moment you have to go back to work. Your burnout is a signal that your work environment is unhealthy and needs to change. Set your boundaries. Let go of your perfectionism. Be prepared to explore your options.

Do not confuse online visibility with expertise. Someone may have a ton of followers on social media. That does not mean they have expertise in a particular topic. A large following only means they have mastered the ability to grab attention on social media. There is no substitute for extensive training and real life experience working in the trenches.

Yes! 👏 @DrDimitrios —Thank you for sharing your insights & expertise!
Being busy is seen as a badge of honor. It implies you are important and successful. Do not confuse being busy with being effective. Getting immersed in meaningless tasks is a waste of precious time and energy. Choosing to do less is a sign of self-awareness and discipline.

Hang in there this holiday season 😀
The holidays can be hectic and stressful. Remember to channel your inner Olympic National Park tree and hang in there. Being outside in nature can help defuse stress levels. Find your happy place in the outdoors or on public lands near you. Photo by Michelle Wiese

Words are powerful—learn to reframe them. It doesn’t matter who you are, nearly everyone experiences self-criticism and an inner-critic at some point. But, you can learn to talk back to it—you can soften it, rewire it, flip the script, reframe it! @barbaraficarra  #Health
