The best indicator that burnout is on it’s way out is to regain a sense of humour. A sense of fun, light-heartedness is the antithesis of feeling life is beating you up and wearing you down.
Here’s a great example from our burnt out business owner’s email autoresponder–proof that burnout is fading and excitement is returning….”Thank you for your email. Please note I will be away from the office wearing Mickey Mouse ears from…. Happy Spring Break!”
Brilliant surprise to receive this.
