Burnout is a workplace phenomenon, but the effects of burnout can wreak havoc on your personal and home life. If you've ever been there, you know that burnout can be serious and debilitating. Don't underestimate the impact it can have on your life.  But also don't underestimate your ability to take action on your own behalf. Burnout isn't something that just happens to you. You can choose to take a hard look at what factors are contributing to your burnout and make new choices to improve at least some of them.  Your well-being matters, and it's necessary for you to show up at your best. Choose to make your wellness a priority, understand your own role in burnout, and ask for help if you need it.
