On the Verge of Burnout?

May 17, 2009 - PRLog -- When was the last time you really considered your work-life balance?

Frank Furness, one of the world’s leading motivational speakers, encourages us to consider the following questions:
- How much quality time do you spend with your family?
- How effective is your exercise routine?
- Have you stopped doing any of the recreations or pastimes that you once enjoyed?
- What can you do right now to lead a more balanced life?

In order to avoid burnout, fatigue and stress, and to enable us to perform at our optimal levels, we need to ensure that we can give strong, positive responses to each of the above questions.

Danni Cullen, a recent graduate on the Stratacore program, runs regular trail riding weekends for executives through her tour company, Elia Tours.

‘It’s amazing watching the transformation in people over the two days,’ Danni says, ‘We have barristers, doctors, project managers and all sorts of people coming along….when we meet them on the Saturday they are all talking ten to the dozen and moving around all the time. We spend the weekend riding beautiful Arabian horses over mountain ranges, through farms and rainforests, and across creeks and streams. By Sunday afternoon everyone is relaxed and content. It’s wonderful to see – horse riding seems to affect people emotionally, spiritually and physically.’

So - no more hesitating! Take 2 minutes today to answer the questions above and think about what steps you can take to improve your work-life balance. It may be as simple as taking the dog for a walk each morning, getting the bike out of the garage and going for a ride, or getting away from it all for a few days.

The important thing is to take action today. What are you waiting for? In the words of one of the most successful marketing campaigns ever launched – ‘Just Do It’!
