In December 2023 we explored how burnout can be addressed through self-care and meditation. The exploration continues in Part 2, as writer, teacher and contemplative social scientist Eve Ekman and physician-scientist Cristina Lanata discuss how the fatigue, irritability, and related physical issues of burnout can be prevented and eased using mind-body practices such as yoga, tai chi, and massage therapy.
Post-broadcast summary: Eve, Cristina and Alejandro discussed the relationship between burnout, stress, and mind-body practices, focusing on personal experiences and the potential impact of inherited trauma. They also explored the interconnection between the body, mind, and emotions, and the importance of self-care, exercise, and community support in managing stress and preventing burnout. Lastly, they emphasized the significance of personal power, community, and nature in addressing feelings of depletion and disconnection, and the value of interdisciplinary approaches in palliative care.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
