How tired are you? Are you reading this post while you swig caffeine after a sleepless night with your smartphone inches away from your head, glowing in the night and alerting you to every post and comment made on social media? Did you wake up to a to-do list overloaded with expectations and a family with more going on than the Kardashians?
It’s no wonder we are so exhausted. We live in a time where we have more expectations and more to do than any previous generation. Most of the things that were designed to make our lives more efficient and our quality of life superior to that of the past are causing us to deteriorate mentally, physically, and socially.
So much for the modern era of being able to do and have it all.
We are about to spend the next 30 days looking at burnout: what causes it, how to prevent it, and how to rejuvenate if we have pushed ourselves past prevention. Each day will be a post with a new opportunity to better understand what burnout is, as well as the effects it has on our minds, bodies, and entire family. Downloadable copy will be available later in the challenge.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect over the next 30 days:
