You need to stop every once in a while and relax. You need to give yourself a well deserved vacation. That doesn’t have to mean splurging on plane tickets to fly across the country. It could mean sleeping in. It could mean spending time with friends — or with your therapist. It could mean turning off your phone for a change, waiting to answer your emails, waiting to finish your projects, waiting to return to the work you’ve been killing yourself over.

When you burn yourself out, it’s a warning sign you need to start doing something differently.
