Resilience Practical Application & Science
summary
Burnout links to lack of purpose, unmanageable workload and no space to discuss mental health; having an empathetic manager reduces risk. The bodywide stress response via the vagal nerve pushes people from a green zone to red/freeze states; simple practices—breathing, short meditations, sunlight (15 minutes), nightly shower, seven+ hours sleep, and check email three times—help return to green. A three‑week gratitude regimen shows fMRI change after 23 days; the gorilla selective‑attention test misses the gorilla about half the time (15 passes).
