Overcoming Burnout and Stress in Dentistry
Stress and burnout are all too common in today’s fast-paced world. It’s crucial to prevent stress from becoming chronic, leading to burnout and exhaustion. In a recent podcast episode, Kiera Dent sat down with Steve Adams, CEO and founder of Tiger Medical Institute, to discuss the important topic of overcoming burnout and stress. Steve brings a unique perspective, having worked as a corporate banker and entrepreneur, and shares valuable insights and strategies to help individuals manage stress and thrive in both their personal and professional lives.
Burnout affects everyone differently, but there are two key strategies that apply to all. First, learning how to mitigate stress on demand. Second, optimizing sleep, which is closely related to stress management. While neither of these strategies is simple, they are foundational to overcoming burnout and improving daily performance.
In this episode, Steve introduces practical methods for managing stress, such as diaphragmatic breathing, which activates the body’s relaxation response. He also discusses the importance of establishing morning and nighttime routines that help the body transition into restful sleep and productive days. Another helpful strategy is digital detoxing, which can reduce the overstimulation caused by constant notifications and screen time. Taking regular breaks from digital devices allows your mind to rest and reset, which is essential for long-term mental health.
Steve also touches on the importance of time management and creating a daily schedule that prioritizes well-being. By organizing your day more effectively, you can reduce overwhelm and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Implementing these strategies can help you not only manage stress but also unlock your peak performance.
