Like stress, burnout(筋疲力盡) has also become a favourite subject of everyday conversation. Many of us may feel “burn out” at times in our lives. It can be prevented, however,if you take action before you are in danger.

First, you must decide what is really important in your life. Make time for the people and the activities that are the most meaningful to you.

Second, you need to share your stories and feelings with others. Talk about your disappointments, sadness, and painful experiences, as well as your joys and successes. If you do not do this normally, you could”explode”. That will be worse for you. Good,healthy relationships with others will make you strongr and bring a greater balance to your life.

Third, make sure you have time off. Take short breaks as well as long holidays whether you feel you need them or not. Learn how to say “no” so that you can say “yes” to the things that are really important to you. Find activities to cheer you up, such as listening to music, dancing, playing sports, or watching movies. You should also make some time to be alone.

Finally, find a good doctor, like a psychologist, if you need help and all else has failed. There is no shame in this. Don”t worry a lot. It may bring your spirit back and make you feel more powerful.
