Burning Out? Here’s What to Do.

Oh no, it’s happening again.

You’ve taken on too much for too long, and now you’re suffering the consequences. Shortness in the breath. Unable to focus. Tense shoulders. Restless nights.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

Struggling just to make it home at the end of the day while simultaneously navigating through a mental haze.

If this has happened to your more often than you would like, then you’re one of the many hardworking but overworked people, myself included.

I remember one particular college semester where I tried to do it all and failed spectacularly. I was enrolled as a full-time student, hustling as a part-time employee, working as a part-time intern, AND studying for the LSAT to be admitted into law school. Oh yeah, and there was also a home and relationship to maintain.

No problem. Everything will work out … Right?

Wrong!

The result? Shoddy work and school performance, a cranky fiancé (me), paying $200 to reschedule my LSAT at the last minute because it obviously wasn’t working out and my favorite: the much anticipated three-five anxiety attacks per week.

Not my favorite semester, to say the least.
