What is burnout and how can music help to solve this problem?

With end of year commitments from schools, workplaces and families piling up, many of us feel we're burning out. "It's the experience of being overwhelmed and exhausted by everything you have to do, and yet somehow still worry that you're not doing enough," says author and musician Amelia Nagoski. "So we need to separate out the process of dealing with the stress in our bodies from the process of dealing with the thing that initiated that stress," Nagoski says. "An experience of burnout can leave someone feeling disconnected and overwhelmed, but finding satisfaction in small things can help bring a sense of balance and contentment," Bradman says. Nagoski says the idea of using music to help ease our feeling of burnout is sound.
