Prevent burnout and manage stress
with Holistic Ayurveda
Burnout is becoming an ever-increasing problem. More and more people ignore their bodies’ warning signs and keep overworking themselves until they reach total exhaustion. Continuing mental and emotional imbalance can also lead to fatigue, so holistic burnout prevention needs to be approached from several angles, including: boosting emotional resilience, acquiring stress management techniques, strengthening the immune system, relaxing to restore mental and emotional balance, and making the right nutritional choices.

Learn to manage stress and let go of negative thoughts
Over time, a stressful period in life can turn into a stressful way of life. Depending on how we react to stress, the healthy alternation between tension and relaxation can progressively reduce until we are almost constantly in a state of high alert. This is when we find ourselves uttering statements like ‘I can’t go on’, ‘I’m burned out’, ‘my batteries are flat’. Constant availability, huge to-do lists and making excessive demands of ourselves, feed these negative thoughts. Only sustainable strategies and a holistic concept can lead out of this downward spiral.

What is burnout?
Burnout occurs after a sustained period of perpetual stress – especially at work. The results are reduced competence, energy depletion, unbearable exhaustion and zero motivation at work.
TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND TRIGGERS
Burnout develops slowly, over months or even years. Most burnout candidates start out as idealists, with a high level of motivation, above-average commitment and a willingness to work beyond the usual job requirements. Over time, problems are pushed aside, physical complaints ignored, and personal needs neglected. We distinguish between internal triggers – a situation is subjectively perceived as stressful – and external triggers such as overwork; time pressure; lack of inclusion; unfair treatment; bullying, absence of feedback, recognition, or sense of community (colleagues, friends, family); low or inadequate remuneration. Without appropriate preventive measures, the negative spiral towards burnout continues downwards.
Burnout prevention – be aware!
Exhaustion manifests itself on different levels.

Constant work pressures.
Skewed work-life balance.
A stressful private life.
An inability to cope with everyday life.
Anxiety.
Disturbed sleeping and eating patterns.
A nagging feeling that their work is considered unsatisfactory.
Memory and concentration problems.

Holistic Ayurveda, regeneration, healing thermal waters and active holidays
At the Ayurveda Resort Mandira in the delightful region of Styria
Does the idea of Ayurveda, adapted to suit the western world and without the stress of long-distance travel, appeal? ‘Everyday life in Europe is not like everyday life in India,’ explains Christina Mauracher, Holistic Ayurveda expert and managing director of the Ayurveda Resort Mandira in Bad Waltersdorf. ‘Our diets and readily available, natural foods are just as dissimilar. As Holistic Ayurveda has evolved, we have gathered a huge amount of experience in the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatments and nutrition within a European setting. We have developed new methods, recipes and treatments in combination with other naturopathic and conventional medical disciplines that are tailored to suit the needs, constitutions and lifestyle diseases of western society.’
In Bad Waltersdorf we combine Ayurvedic therapies and nutrition with a special exercise programme, alongside alternative medical therapies and the beneficial effects of thermal water. Together with the Medical University of Graz, the effectiveness of Ayurveda is scientifically examined and continuously developed on the basis of this knowledge.
