If I told you I was sick with a cold, you would assume I had a runny nose or a headache.

But what if I told you that I was sick with hurry sickness?

It's not technically a mental health condition or a medical concern,

but it can throw you off balance and cause you to burn out fast.

Hurry sickness is an extreme form of multitasking.

You know, like those moments when you're watching your dinner on the stove,

answering a work email while also feeding the dog at the same time.

But the more you speed up, the more stressed you get when you slow down.

And that's when burnout strikes, that familiar feeling of exhaustion, like you're not doing

enough.

You might start to feel dissatisfied with your work, even see changes

in your sleep patterns. Your work-life balance fills completely out of whack. Burnout is out of balance.

I'm going to say that again. Burn out is out of balance. Burnout is a state of physical,

emotional, mental exhaustion. It occurs when the demands of your job exceed your ability to cope.

Not only job, but just life in general. When you're constantly under pressure,

your body's stress response kicks in high gear, which can then lead to a host of physical

and emotional symptoms, everything from fatigue to insomnia, to anxiety, irritability, and even

depression.

So how is it possible to find balance?

Balance simply means doing what you can. or your hands on the brightly colored circles.
