 A fine line: Burning out
I feel like I'm on the verge of burning out. My schedule is very busy with academic and volunteer obligations as well as learning how to be a single parent to 2 preschoolers and dealing with the financial and emotional strains of divorce. Most days I just focus on getting done- no matter what it is I have to do, it's just a one foot in front of the other procedure. I work very hard at being highly functioning and rarely doing only one thing at a time. But lately I feel like I am in danger of burning out. I don't see anything in my life that I'm able to let go of at this time, it's just a matter of getting through the next month or so until my course-load is lightened. Does anyone have any words of advice for the extra busy and stressful, times in life? How do you walk the fine line between working toward the best from yourself and in life without getting too overtaxed? |
