You didn’t get burned out in three months, so it’s not going to be cleaned up in three months. Change takes time. For many of us, the tendency toward burnout is fueled by inherent qualities in us.

It’s time to get a little personal (... because that’s different how? 🤣) Not too long ago, I saw the light fade from my son’s eyes as it pertains to a sport that he genuinely loves. I watched him get dimmer and dimmer until one day he looked at me and said he just didn’t want to play anymore. After trying to talk to him about it, he simply said tha…
