Be Awesome!

Stop Burnout Before It Stops YOU - Revive Your Drive and Motivation. Be AWESOME! provides tools for busy professionals to reclaim their passions and revive their drive and motivation while maintaining productive, fulfilling work and home life. Burnout is not a one-time experience, and it's not limited to work situations. Burnout is when we have gone from excited (about life, work, the future) to feeling continuously exhausted and like we're struggling. It may be hard to get up in the morning, and you may spend the day looking forward to dropping back into bed at night, barely noticing what happens during the day. You may find yourself more irritable, more easily frustrated or annoyed, more emotional (or numb, barely feeling any emotion at all). You may be restless or lethargic, finding it difficult to concentrate or find satisfaction. Physical ailments and illness often accompany burnout, including headaches, stomachaches, colds, and muscle aches and pains. Sometimes it is just an overall feeling of being "off" without any known reason.Burnout impairs our relationships - both with ourselves and with those around us. We become less productive (it's hard to stay on task when we constantly feel on edge), and we start to see things as difficult, decreasing our feeling of motivation and ability to act. We may withdraw from others, desperately seeking peace while craving connection and understanding.This book is meant to provide guidance, a path through the wilderness that will lead you out of the woods and back home. It's based on concepts that are vital to living our best life, and that we often put on the back burner or ignore altogether. It's how we let go of stress, move away from burnout, and feel energized and motivated from the inside out. BE AWESOME! is based in practical awareness and scientific knowledge. If you want to start doing instead of wishing, read this book!A huge number of people - 75 percent of people polled! - report experiencing significant levels of stress, with stress having a definite impact on their sense of happiness and well-being. Workload and work-family balance are in the top three areas of stress. This isn't a new problem - the American Psychological Association has been conducting the nationwide survey Stress in America(TM) since 2007. In 2017, 45 percent of Americans reported lying awake at night in the past month from stress, and one-third reported feeling nervous/anxious, irritable, or angry, along with fatigue due to their stress. When we can #BeAWESOME, we are able to do what we love, with who we love, in a balanced way without stress or guilt. The AWESOME process covers concrete steps to remove limitations and re-purpose energy to maximize productivity and eliminate burnout.
