We live in a time when it's more difficult to switch off than ever before. I was burned out for a couple of years for sure until a major life threatening illness forced me to take stock. I've made some important and very useful changes: - I've started saying "no" to others including clients, business partners, friends, family etc. Every time I do this, it is saying "yes" to myself - I've blocked all social media and news websites from my phone (both apps and via Safari) - I've gotten rid of all work emails from my phone too - I have an alarm clock by my bed instead of my phone which sleeps in another room - I start every day using the 5 minute journal method - I journal (almost) every day before I start my work - I no longer work weekends and evenings - I've made peace with the fact that my business isn't going to grow as quickly as I want it to. We do have choices at the end of the day. Check out the 5 balls for life speech by Bryan Dyson, former CEO of Coca Cola; work is a rubber ball that you can drop and it will bounce back, the rest of the balls that we juggle (health, friendships, family etc) are all glass balls which may shatter if we drop them.
