Preventing Burnout: Signs, Symptoms, Causes, and Coping Strategies

Preventing Burnout: Signs, Symptoms, Causes, and Coping Strategies

This is a good article on how to handle burn out. Many of us don't realize how tired and unfulfilled we are until we hit a wall. This really helped me, especially the part about this: 

"Burnout is an undeniable sign that something important in your life is not working. Take time to think about your hopes, goals, and dreams. Are you neglecting something that is truly important to you? Burnout can be an opportunity to rediscover what really makes you happy and to change course accordingly."

I noticed that I have stopped doing any type of art in the last few months because I just don't feel motivated to and think what's the use? But this week I'm going to pull out my collage stuff and do it anyway. Hope this helps you too.
