by Info @Brand Zone | Oct. 14, 2024

Nawawalan ka na ba ng gana? ‘Yun bang tipong wala ka pang ginagawa, pero feel mo pagod na pagod ka na? Minsan din ba sumagi na sa iyong isip na gusto mo na lamang magpahinga o magbakasyon? Huwag ka mag-alala, besh! Dahil marami ang nakakaranas ngayon nyan. 

Ang pagka-burnout ay ‘di lang basta pagkapagod, at ‘di lang ito basta ordinaryong stress na dulot ng pang-araw-araw na trabaho. Ang mga dumaranas nito ay nawawalan ng ganang magtrabaho at hindi na gaanong nagiging produktibo. 

Ang burnout ay konektado rin sa maraming aspeto. Subalit, ano nga ba ang kadalasang dahilan ng burnout? Narito ang ilang dahilan ng ibang tao. Kaya halina’t alamin natin ito! 

1. Work-related na mga kadahilanan;

2. Mataas na demand sa trabaho

3. Pagtatrabaho sa isang magulong paligid at toxic na workmates

4. Mga kadalasang dahilan dulot ng lifestyle;

5. Kakulangan ng oras sa pagri-relax at pakikisalamuha sa kapwa

6. Napakaraming responsibilidad na ‘di nakatatanggap ng sapat na tulong mula sa mga malalapit na kaibigan at mga mahal sa buhay.

7. Mga pag-uugaling nagdudulot ng madaliang pagka-burnout

8. Pagiging perfectionist

9. Pagiging pessimistic, at pagiging controlling.

Pero, wait lang mga Ka-Bulgar, knows n’yo ba na puwede rin tayong ma-burnout dahil sa sarili rin nating desisyon? ‘Yun bang sa kagustuhan nating umasenso at lumaki ang kita, tanggap ka lang nang tanggap ng trabaho hanggang sa matambakan ka at mauwi sa burnout.

Ang mga sumusunod ay warning signs na maaaring may burnout ang isang tao;

1. Mga pisikal na senyales

2. Pakiramdam na laging magkakasakit, at laging pagod

3. Madalas na pagkakaroon ng sakit ng ulo, sakit sa likuran at kasu-kasuan

4. Mga emosyonal na senyales

5. Pakiramdam na walang magawa, talunan, at nag-iisa sa mundo

6. Pagbaba ng satisfaction at sense of accomplishment

7. Mga senyales sa pag-uugali

8. Pagtakas sa mga responsibilidad, at pag-iwas sa ibang tao

9. Binubuntong ang frustration sa ibang tao

Atin nang nabanggit kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng burnout, kadalasang dahilan, at sintomas nito. Samantala, narito naman ang ilang tips kung paano nga ba ito maiiwasan. Let’s go mga besh, sabay-sabay na natin itong alamin. Oki?!Ang pagkakaroon ng “me time,” ay makakatulong sa atin upang maiwasan ang stress o problemang ating kinakaharap. Kung maaari ay magpasa muna ng temporary leave of absence, at gamitin ito upang makapagbakasyon. 

Mag-recharge ka rin kahit papaano! Huminga, mag-isip-isip at mag-enjoy din, ‘wag n’yo masyadong isubsob ang inyong sarili sa pagtatrabaho. Gets mo?

Lingid sa ating ka­alaman ang taong kulang sa tulog ay madalas na irritable, mainitin ang ulo, at minsan ay wala na rin pokus. Mahalaga ang pagtulog upang makapagpahinga rin ang ating utak. Kaya naman inirerekomenda rin ang 30-minutong ehersisyo kada araw. Maglaan ng panahong sasapat sa pahinga, at makipagsalamuha sa iba bukod sa mga katrabaho at pamilya.

Pagbati! Dahil isa ka sa mga ‘di humihinto para makamit mo ang iyong pangarap. Kaya mga Ka-BULGAR, ‘wag kalimutang ngumiti. Laban lang, kaya natin ito! Okie?

SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) celebrated a significant milestone during this year’s Día del Galeón as it officially turned over the Museo del Galeón space, located at SM Mall of Asia. The event, held at the China Blue Restaurant in Conrad Manila, brought together prominent figures from the SM Group and dignitaries from the Philippines, Spain, and Mexico.

Rommel Ramos. (L-R, seated): Museo del Galeón Trustee Gloria Angara, Spanish Ambassador to the Philippines His Excellency (H.E.)

Día del Galeón, an annual event recognized by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), commemorates the arrival of the first transpacific galleon, San Pablo, in Acapulco, Mexico, from Manila in 1565. This historic voyage launched the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade, establishing profound cultural and commercial ties between the Philippines and Mexico, which have endured through the centuries.

The highlight of the event was the formal turnover of the SM Prime space to the Museo del Galeón Foundation, received by Museo del Galeón Chairman, Ambassador Carlos Salinas. During the event, Dr. Jaime Laya donated a reproduction of the acclaimed “Carta Hydrographica y Chorographica de las Islas Filipinas,” also known as the Velarde Map. It was followed by the investiture of the inaugural members of the Advisory Council: Spanish Ambassador to the Philippines, His Excellency (H.E.) Miguel Utray Delgado, and Mexican Ambassador to the Philippines, H.E. Daniel Hernández Joseph. They herald the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the museum.

“The commitment of Mexico to this project is unwavering. We see the Museo del Galeón as a symbol of the enduring relationship between our nations — a relationship that extends beyond commerce, embodying the profound intercultural exchanges that have shaped the perceptions of time, space, and the worldview of peoples across Asia and the Americas,” said H.E. Daniel Hernández Joseph, Mexican Ambassador to the Philippines.

The Museo del Galeón will house a life-sized representation of Manila Galleon, offering visitors an immersive and educational experience that highlights the role of the Filipino people before, during, and after the galleon trade. Discover the exchange of goods, ideas, and culture between the East and West that put Manila at the center during the dawn of globalization.

Representatives from the SM Group and Museo del Galeón, alongside the Embassies of Spain and Mexico in the Philippines, discuss Dr. Jaime Laya’s donation of a reproduction of the Velarde Map.

The turnover of the Museo del Galeón space ensures that the Filipino story is told, and discoveries, revelations, and ideas will be sparked by our rich and complex maritime history. “This is not just about preserving history. This will be a place where the past and the present meet, with exhibits and interactive experiences that will tell the stories of the historical exchanges that, for the first time in history, united three continents: Asia, America, and Europe,” Spanish Ambassador to the Philippines H.E. Miguel Utray Delgado said. 

This occasion signals the beginning of the one-year countdown to the museum's grand opening, which will take place on Día del Galeón in 2025.
