Taking care of yourself is among the most important things in life but it isn’t always that easy to do. High achievers tend to work hard at making something great or taking care of others and fail to consider their own situation. Burnout isn’t enjoyable but sometimes it’s necessary. The body shuts down and doesn’t allow you to continue down a destructive path.
