  I think you have have gotten a little too close to the sun! The pressure of all work and no play, may have gotten you to a point of burnout my friend. Burnout can happen when you're disengaged from your work, getting no sleep, working all the time, and without breaks. It's time to re-evaluate what you are doing, and how you are doing it so that you can get to a more content place. It can be tough to be responsible for so much, and not have the time to manage it all. Additionally, our responsibilies can pile up so much that we find ourselves overwhelmed with no way out. The good news, is having some good resources in your toolkit can help to alleviate your burnout and get more time back into your day. Knowing your options to reduce your stress and relieve your burnout is going to be of key importance. From taking breaks, to using productivity tools, and delegation, you have the opportunity to turn your situation around!“I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.” – Steve MaraboliHow to enhance how you deal with stress to live a life you love...1) Take a break immediatelyWhen you've been sunburned badly, you need to get out of the sun. For real. So taking a break immediately is something that you need to highly consider. You can't pour from an empty cup, and if you are burned out, you aren't headed in a good direction. So do yourself a favor, and take a break to clear your mind. 2) Evaluate your situationReflect on your situation. Are you currently in a season of intense pressure due to a project? Have you been working from fumes consistently? Learn about your situation so that you can identify the source of your burnout. Once you figure out everything that is contributing to your situation, find ways to make your job a little easier. 3) Put on your delegate hat to relieve the pressureDo you love sun hats? I do! They are cute, and comfy, and most of all they protect you from the sun. So, I'm going to suggest that you put on your delegate hat. Now, I know that we love being in tune with all of the details, and need to have our arms around our projects. But when you're in a burnout situation, delegation can be exactly what you need to feel almost immediate relief. I encourage you to find at least two items in your world, that you can automate or delegate. Believe me, it will work wonders! Protect yourself! "Who's behind all these stress free tips?"
