KALM Webinar for Populix: Free Yourself from Stress

Jakarta, 9th July 2021— KALM once again was trusted to provide Mental Health Webinar Services for companies. This time it is Populix, a start-up company that provides market research services for companies that need respondent data from various communities. As before, the Webinar entitled “How to Keep Sane in This Busy Life” was brought by the Co-Founder and Kalmselor of KALM, Karina Negara.

The Difference Between Stress and Burnout

Karina started the Webinar by conducting a Q&A session with Popstars, what Populix team members call themselves, about the daily stressors. Furthermore, she also mentioned the current pandemic situation. In a situation full of limitations and uncertainties, stress and burnout are not to be underestimated.

Karina also explained the difference between stress and burnout.

“If it’s just stress, taking a break or rest could be enough. We can continue our activities after that. But if it is burnout, it is difficult to simply come back and do our activities because burnout can take away our motivation,” said Karina.

KALM Tips to Releasing Yourself From Stress

Following the theme of “How to Keep Sane in This Busy Life,” KALM provides some tips for dealing with stress and burnout. Karina pointed out the importance of effective emotional management and creating boundaries between work and rest time in addition to KALM’s mainstay tips of doing self-care, .

Effective Emotion Management

Emotion management is one of the best ways to take a break from various stressors. If you can do it effectively it can help you recharge the energy that is taken away when you face stress, KALMers! Emotion management can be effective if it can make you feel more relieved and of course it can be done without harming yourself or others. One example is doing the Grounding Technique.

2. Healthy Boundaries Between Work and Rest Time

Setting boundaries is an important tip to answer the “How to Keep Sane in This Busy Life” question. By setting healthy boundaries between work and personal life, we can divide the time when it comes to work and rest. Remember again that rest is not a reward but a right and a duty for you, KALMers! So, it is okay not to respond to complaints from clients if it is outside your working hours. Take your time!
