Burnout Treatment and Burnout Recovery

Why this resource is helpful:

"When you began your new job you were excited, ready to jump out of bed and get going every day. Filled with passion about the mission of you workplace, you didn"t mind long hours, and the stress just seemed to roll off of you. You loved your colleagues and your shared sense of purpose. You couldn"t wait to get to work in the morning.
Or maybe you took a job because it helped you make ends meet. Taking care of your family was more important than fulfillment at work, and you promised yourself you would make the weekends count, that you would make time for fun and find time to figure out what you really want along the way.
But lately you"ve just lost your passion. Maybe you are working extra hard, trying to find it again. Or maybe for the first time in your life you are calling in sick, when all you really are is tired. You sleep, but do not wake feeling rested. Even a weekend spent skiing does not recharge your batteries. You dread Monday morning. You count the hours until the end of the week. You duck extra projects you know will make a difference in your next review. You can"t believe how stressed you"ve become. You are looking for help.
