We all have those moments in our lives where we consider whether we have given so much of our time, talent, and treasure to our clients and employers that it might just be time to simply allow ourselves to BURNOUT like a struggling match coming to its end and to simply give up and be done with it all. These past couple of years have been hard. Homeowners have become angrier as they are fed a steady stream of details about the LOSS of personal freedoms along with the perception that we are simply not ‘safe’ anymore. When people feel like their personal systems have failed them, the flower that blooms out of this scenario is AGGRESSION and HOSTILITY, and most of that hostility ends up coming our way. Yet, I know so many of you excel at giving yourselves away at the cost of your own personal happiness – to the point of exhaustion and to the point of professional burnout. I would like to humbly offer up some points that might be of some value to those of us who are battling the sensation of a burnout.
