Boxer Sedem Ama knows what it’s like to burn out.
The two-time national amateur boxing champion has always dealt with pressure growing up but she has also fallen into the trap of letting work dictate her life. In a demanding industry - the world of public relations - she was waking up early, working flat out, and getting home late. There was very little time outside of that to actually take time for herself and live.
With Mental Health Awareness Week currently ongoing in the UK, the boxer has been forced to find balance in her life so that her mental health is in a more positive state. Much of that has been easier said than done but her discovery of boxing, and taking her participation in the sport to new heights, has also aided with her own self-care.
