3 day Relaxation Retreat<\/b><\/p>\n

This program is for those looking for a quick introduction into a Wellness Retreat and wanting to kick start a more healthy lifestyle. You\u2019ll get a feel for what your body and mind is capable of with some dedicated time away from your normal life. Let someone else take care of your meals, schedule and be guided by our Wellness Team. You\u2019ll leave feeling rejuvenated and in the right mindset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5 day Relaxation Retreat<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling nervous about going on a holiday alone, then our 5 day Relaxation Retreat is an ideal way to experience a wellness holiday. You\u2019ll have the first day or two to acquaint yourself with the surroundings and slowly immerse yourself in the environment. By day 3 you will likely feel very much at home in Shanti-Som and move with ease around the Retreat through each of the various activities and enjoy relaxed conversations with hotel staff and other guests. With a combination of regular yoga, relaxation, nutritious food and sunshine, our guests start to look and feel better with improved skin, brighter eyes and relaxed bodies. Most importantly, feeling happier and motivated by their achievements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 day Relaxation Retreat<\/b><\/p>\n

You may notice the schedule for a 7 day Relaxation Retreat does not involve a more rigorous routine of activities. The whole point of this holiday is to slow down. For this to happen you need to allow yourself the time and space to do this. It takes time for our minds to quieten, to release any sense of guilt and allow yourself to enjoy. With only 15 guest rooms, Shanti-Som is the perfect sanctuary where guests can quietly meander through the property whilst also feeling part of a group and community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"topic_title":"What is Burnout?","topic_text":"

Coined by the psychologist, Herbert Freudenberger in the 1970s, burnout describes a severe stress condition that leads to severe physical, mental and emotional exhaustion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much worse than ordinary fatigue, burnout makes it challenging for people to cope with stress and handle day-to-day responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

People experiencing burnout often feel like they have nothing left to give and may dread getting out of bed each morning. They may even adopt a pessimistic outlook toward life and feel hopeless. Burnout doesn\u2019t go away on its own and, if left untreated, it can lead to serious physical and psychological illnesses like depression, heart disease and diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burnout may be the result of unrelenting stress, but it isn\u2019t the same as too much stress. Stress, by and large, involves too much: too many pressures that demand too much of you physically and mentally. However, stressed people can still imagine that if they can just get everything under control, they\u2019ll feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burnout, on the other hand, is about not enough. Being burned out means feeling empty and mentally exhausted, devoid of motivation, and beyond caring. People experiencing burnout often don\u2019t see any hope of positive change in their situations. If excessive stress feels like you\u2019re drowning in responsibilities, burnout is a sense of being all dried up.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"topic_title":"Who can get Burnout?","topic_text":"

Along with <\/span>career-induced burnout<\/span><\/a>, people <\/span>caring for children<\/span><\/a> can also have this type of extreme exhaustion. A recent <\/span>study<\/span><\/a> found that, just like doctors and business executives, mothers and fathers can also burn out.<\/span><\/p>\n

More simply put, if you feel exhausted, start to hate your job, and begin to feel less capable, you are showing signs of burnout. Personality characteristics like needing to be in control, perfectionism, and being \u201cType A\u201d can also increase your risk of burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"topic_title":"Signs of Burnout ","topic_text":"
