The Falsity of Burnout

Ok...there's a secret to this...you ready?

Burnout doesn't exist, unfortunately, you were lied to by someone way back that was just exhausted from something else.

Sure you can get tired if your constancy coming into contact with direct opposition every day or someones always invaliding you. But it's actually impossible to get burned out from working really hard. It's actually quite the opposite. The more productive someone is the happier they will be.

Think about a day recently that you were super busy and had a lot going on that day. I bet you were happy. And now think about a day when you had zero going on...lounging around the house or at work for an extended period of time...I bet you weren't happy?

I like having some downtime also, but honestly, it's very little. I keep myself very busy every day, I rarely have downtime on the weekends. I am usually booked out with either speaking at events, business meetings or personal time with family. But I stay busy. Because I know that if I lounge around too much, I get super bored and unhappy.

So if you feel "burnt out" you aren't tired from work, you are most likely coming into contact with someone or something that is trying to give you a hard time. So, handle that and then you won't be tired.

I hope that helps...
