77 ways to beat burnout!
- Deal with problems when they occur, if you can. Don't let them pile up
- Go to bed to sleep, not to worry or brood. If you find you're in a bad mood at bedtime, take a walk, read a chapter of a book that you enjoy, talk to someone you love about the good things in your life, watch David Letterman or Jay Leno.
- Find a tension outlet that works for you, and use it when you need to. Consider crossword puzzles, card games, running, dancing, playing in the town band. (But stay away from those outlets that work only at the moment, that only add up to bad news, like eating, drinking and drugs.)
- Build fresh air and exercise into your daily life.
- Park a half mile from work or get off at a bus or train stop a half mile from work and walk the rest of the way.
- If you don't own a dog to take for a walk, borrow one. Your neighbors will love you for it and it will do you more good than the dog.
- Stay away from the coffee pot.
