I want people to know that they're not fine on Monday and burned out on Friday.

That's not how that works. That try out of exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness occurs over time

and you're adjusting to all of that. It's not your fault.

It's actually a wake-up call.

Burnout is a wake-up call telling you

that the way that you've done this

has served you until now, we want to thank that.

Thank you. Thank you for those mechanisms. Thank you for getting me here. But this is a wake-up call telling you that what's gotten you here isn't going to get you where you're going.

Prices in our life are here to tell us like,

huh, is this where you really want to go?

Let's double check.

Let's make sure that the choices we're making

fill our hearts with meaningful, purposeful steps on the journey.

And are we just doing them because that's what other people say we should do?

Or are we doing it because this is what really fuels us

and what we want to do. So have you ever felt so exhausted, drained at the end of your rope, human downright cynical,

about everything from relationships to work in the world, that you just knew that this wasn't you,

but you couldn't quite figure out how to get out of that feeling.

That is the reality of something a lot of people experience that we call burnout.

It's a state of just physical and mental and emotional

depletion that can leave us feeling hopeless and helpless. And in case you're wondering,

no, it's not just about work.
