In this episode I give you 5 tips on how to avoid a burnout. Most of us might know this feeling all too well and it is not a good one. I have had a few burnouts and here is what I have learned from them:Stop completely or take a break and slow down- If you're able to, just quit your job or leave that relationship. Immediately stop whatever is burning you out- If you can't do that, then pump the brakes and slow down. Take a much needed breakRe-evaluate Priorities - Start putting YOUR HAPPINESS to the number 1 spot!!!- Make sure your health, nutrition, exercise, sleep are high priorities too- Say "no" to the bad things, so you can start saying "yes" to the good thingsChange your Perspective- Stop looking at all the small and bad things, instead start focusing on the big and good things- Count the small wins on a daily basisReach out to positive people- Show appreciation to the people who inspire you and love youCommunication- Try to communicate first and see if there is reason you are burnt out and if there is any solution to fix itFOLLOW ME HERE:InstagramMERCHYouTubeThings mentioned:Sleep smarter by Shawn StevensonChili PadSupport the show (https://teespring.com/stores/happmeness)

She is so authentic and just purely wants to share her kindness and knowledge to everyone. There are so many ways and things you can do to start becoming healthy and what's great about Mel is that she is able to meet you where you’re at on your own journey.
