It's sunny. It's Sunday. It's summertime. Maybe it's time to take a break and do something joyous, fun, interesting, relaxing - just for me! What a thought! Yes it's okay to reward yourself for all your hard work. Yesterday I wrote about striving to avoid 'burn out'. Why not head it off at the pass, and take some 'time outs' before burn out sets in. Do it for you. I leave you with my own 'lessons learned' about 'burn out' . . .
"Burn Out is like the desert on a 110 degree day - you don't want to go there when the sun is high and the day is long! So, how to know when you're headed toward the desert and total burn out? Equally important, how to avoid burn out? A little bit of common sense goes a long way. You have to pay attention to yourself, how you're feeling, your level of stress, level of activity, and the amount of time you're devoting to sheer relaxation. Then take steps to reduce the work load, eliminate the stress, and make more time for you, your passions, interests, and the many things that bring joy to your life!''
Take those steps today so that you have the energy and enthusiasm to pursue your dreams, resolutions and goals! The desert and 'burn out' is the last place that you want to find yourself . . .
Remember: I Resolve To Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year. It's your choice. Do it today. Turn your resolution into reality. Make your resolution a permanent Lifetime Resolution, something that's with you for good! Above all, Be A Resolutionista, someone who keeps resolutions and enjoys the journey! Let's Go For It!!
