Sometimes the answer isn't simply to quit your job, take a vacation, or completely change your life.

Sometimes it's about understanding how you're operating within your life.

• Are you carrying responsibilities that don't actually belong to you?

• Are your expectations realistic?

• Do you have boundaries around your time and availability?

• Can you tolerate disappointing someone?

• Can you allow something to be good enough?

• Can you rest without feeling guilty?

• Can you recognize that you're overwhelmed before you reach your breaking point?

I would start by getting quiet enough to ask myself a few honest questions.

If I were starting over, these would be my first steps.
