Strategies to Avoid Burnout with Dr. Lara Salyer

Menopause Rescue

Dr. Lara Salyer, a former burned-out physician turned creativity catalyst, shares her insights on preventing burnout and finding flow in life. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and creating space for oneself, especially during life transitions like menopause. Dr. Salyer explains the four phases of the flow cycle (struggle, release, flow, and recovery) and provides tips on how to enhance flow and incorporate recovery into daily life. She also introduces the AHA method for setting goals, which involves anchoring to values, highlighting milestones, and activating flow enhancers. Lastly, she encourages embracing the concept of 'good enough' rather than striving for perfection.

Quotes

• “Burnout happens everywhere, right? Dr. Polly, I mean, it is not just health care, it's firefighters, it's police, it's teachers, it's burned out as a mom, as a spouse, as a friend. I mean, burnout is a term that is the worst because it's sort of the end result of chronic stress and cortisol depletion. And it's awful. We don't want to be in burnout.”
• “You love being in flow. It feels good. So you don't want to break it, but we have to. We have to pause and recover and unplug and go out and touch grass and do the yoga and the breathing”
• “We often think of reward as like, okay, let's eat some chocolate. Let's have a glass of wine. And hello. I'm talking to you, menopausal ladies. That's no longer a good reward. Start to explore the other options for rewards.”
