Burnout is endemic in 2024, with around 60% of Americans reporting burnout. Our families and communities need us to thrive and grow in impact, income, and inspiration - yet we cannot do so in burnout and anxiety.
Do you find yourself in this 60% or, perhaps, near it with stress, busyness, and anxiety robbing you of growth and vision for the future?
That was my story before I learned to achieve more while stressing less. I had risked a lot and worked hard to achieve the success I enjoyed. This came at a price that was costing me my peace of mind, harming my relationships, and preventing me from being the creative and innovative self that got me there in the first place. I “managed” this for a while, thinking of it as the “cost of doing business” that came with the territory - it didn’t help. Then came burnout - an almost complete loss of motivation, energy, and vision for the future. I hit a wall.
Why do we wait until we hit a wall to make drastic changes? I think the pain of making changes is less than the pain of staying the same until it isn’t anymore. I was that guy. I became obsessed with the secrets of human flourishing and learned we all can achieve more while stressing less. Stressing less is a big part of the reason we can achieve more than we imagined.
