There are many signs to burn out, but some common ones include insomnia, crankiness, over reacting to situations, lethargic, not caring about what you used to especially in regards to work or tasks, anger, weight gain or loss and negativity.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to deal with burn out before it causes major impact to your life in regards to goals and directions.  Early prevention is best.<\/p>\n<p>Several suggestions will be offered to help offset burn out.  If possible, take a vacation.  For those that it is impossible to do, or at least when you need to, let&#8217;s look at some alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Clear your calender of everything that is not totally necessary.  Remember your necessary and other&#8217;s view of necessary may not always be in agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Take extra measure to care for your body now.  Eat healthy, organic foods, drink lots of water, get exercise especially with fresh air, take vitamins, get some extra sleep, get a massage and anything else that helps you relax. <\/p>\n<p>Spend some time trying to pinpoint tasks \/ situations in life that are both draining, and giving.  Once you&#8217;ve done that, perhaps ask for help or delegate those things that are a draining force.  Increase activities that are refreshing. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datingtorelating.com\" class=\"kblinker\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More about Talk &raquo;\">Talk<\/a> to someone else, outside of the situation, could be a friend, family, life coach, counseling, etc.  They may be able to offer insights and suggestions you can&#8217;t see.  Sometimes it&#8217;s tough to see the trees through the forest. <\/p>\n<p>Give these suggestions some time to see how they are working for you.  If you&#8217;re better, then maintain that better life balance.  If it&#8217;s the same or worse, it may be a time to really look at the goals you have set and where you want to go.  Sometimes past goals no longer are a good fit and we need the freedom to change our goals.  But do it from a position of strength and not just desperation to change, just for the purpose of something being different.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, burn out can be a reality check that our life is out of balance in some way and adjustments are good and very healthy and necessary to our lives.   I believe there are very real seasons in each person&#8217;s lives&#8217; and perhaps it can be a changing of one season to another new one.   It is important however, to step back and see what our bodies are telling us when we experience burn out.   Who knows, perhaps it may even be one of those &#8220;hidden blessings&#8221; that we look back on years later and think, &#8220;you know, that was the beginning of a real, positive change in my life.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>By Rachel V.
