Abstract
This paper explores burnout as a growing public health concern and argues for a multidimensional framework to build resilience in adults. Drawing on contemporary research, the paper defines burnout as a response to chronic stress that undermines emotional, mental, and physical well‑being. It examines how the integration of physical, mental, and spiritual practices can mitigate burnout and enhance long‑term resilience. The analysis highlights the role of physical activity in regulating stress responses and improving mental health, the importance of mental health practices such as self‑regulation, cognitive reframing, and meditation, and the impact of spiritual practices, including prayer and positive religious coping, on emotional regulation and stress tolerance. By synthesizing evidence across these domains, the paper argues that resilience is best cultivated through a holistic approach rather than isolated interventions. The study concludes that adults who adopt consistent physical, mental, and spiritual practices are better equipped to manage burnout, protect their well‑being, and model resilience within their personal and professional communities.
