THREE REASONS WHY YOU NEED A LIFEVENTURE

In the age of quiet quitting, we all deserve a reboot to regain that zest for life

After going through one of the world’s longest lockdowns, Filipinos are taking every opportunity to get out of the house and out of town, especially as the summer season looms. In fact, the top reason why we are itching to go on a trip so badly is that we want to seek and experience new adventures this year, according to travel website Agoda.com

However, for every revenge traveler raring to go is also someone experiencing a form of burnout and that is enough to put a stop to any of our plans. Working in less-than-ideal conditions throughout the pandemic has naturally caused a spike in employee disengagement, which in turn led many to quiet quit. According to the International HR Institute (IHRI), the term may be new but the phenomenon isn’t. Since late last year, “quiet quitting” or when a person gradually cuts back on work productivity and just slogs along to get by, has become a hot topic of conversation online and even over beers with friends. To prevent any type of burnout from creeping in and affecting our psyche, a local movement has started that champions seeking new experiences in order to combat the monotony and turn life into a ‘Lifeventure’.
