Here is one profile of a Burn Out Candidate: someone who is energetic, ambitious and driven. Does this sound like you? This profile, however, includes other factors and or limiting beliefs that can be unique to each individual. The good news is that we can avoid burn out if we pay attention to the signs and then act on those signs, in the moment they are happening. Long periods of stress can turn into Burn Out; it sneaks up on us slowly. So if we don’t pay attention to the signs; if we continue to think “we can handle it all ourselves”; then eventually feelings of stress, tension and exhaustion take over.
