Given amount of responsibility. The more responsibility one has, the greater the chance of burnout.

The most salient point for me is determining if your job is suitable. You are the only one who can decide.

How can you prevent burnout?

Having effective communication with your boss and peers is essential for success in your job.

Having strong communication with your support systems outside of work is essential.

Embrace your identity outside of work. Having hobbies is important. What other identities do you relate to if you did not work at your current job? I am happy to help

I am eager to assist. Coach, volunteer, wife, husband.

Instead of following a diet, pursue a realistic eating plan. Attempt to consume fewer processed foods. Consume an abundance of natural ingredients. Select appropriate amounts.

I recommend exercising every day. Be sure to do this.

Aim to get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep.

Include multiple breaks in your daily work schedule. Todd recommends taking hourly breaks for a few minutes. Speak to a valued friend. I can relate to this idea because I have experienced something similar.

Find a partner or colleague with whom you can collaborate to decrease the amount of burnout you both experience. Allow them to be accountable for you through telephone, in person, or via Skype or Zoom.

Take Todd's advice as a 'gut check'. "How dire is my current situation?" If the situation is unfavorable, then be sure to seek assistance from HR, an expert, or an experienced mentor.

It is undeniable that life can be stressful. If you are able to maintain good health, avoid burnout, and savor the time spent with family, work, and hobbies, life is good. Don't be scared to request assistance.

I hope you experience all the best life has to offer.
