Burnout is a real and quite damaging condition. Once you find yourself suffering from burnout, it can be difficult to turn your life around. This is why it is necessary to take steps to try and avoid burnout.
1. Set Boundaries
No matter what your profession may be, it’s important to have boundaries. You can’t be available around the clock; this is simply impossible. So, to prevent burnout, it’s critical to establish boundaries of times you will not be available. This means that you won'
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
~Henry Ward Beecher
Gratitude is a powerful thing to exercise when we are looking to create more abundance in our lives. Why? Because as we focus on all that we are grateful for, we begin to feel more abundant, and when we begin to feel more abundant we then begin to attract a flow of abundance in our lives. W
The internet is full of memes about Mondays. Listen to a few. “If every day is a gift, I’d like to know where I can return Mondays.” “The three worst words to hear: Tomorrow is Monday.” And “God gave us Mondays to punish us for what we did during the weekend.”
These memes might make you laugh, but they also highlight this truth: Mondays can be tough. For most, on Mondays, it's tough to get out of bed. On Mondays, it's tough to find the energy to get out of the house. And no matter how much we
I know that I deserve to be happy. I recognize that my body is important, and I must respect it. I look after my physical well-being by making sure I eat food that allows me to function and shine.
I exercise and am thankful for all of the incredible processes that my body carries out. I know I am incredibly fortunate to have the freedom to do whatever I want.
I look after my mental health. I take time to listen to my thoughts and make sure that I have all the tools I need to thrive.

We all know that some foods are better for you than others. We know that it’s a good idea to limit fast food, eat more vegetables, drink plenty of water, and stay active. The problem is that sometimes these things are far easier said than done.

What are the three keys to self improvement and motivation?
1. INSPIRATION
Inspiration is critical to staying motivated and improving oneself. If you are not interested in your business, your motivation level will never be high and you will not be able to sustain interest for very long.
Take an honest look at your inspiration level. Are you excited about going to work or is it an obligation? You would be surprised at the number of people who choose a business that looks good on paper, but
If God is first in your life, everything can come into order. If God is not first in your life, nothing can come into order. And when I say everything comes into order, I don't mean that we won't have problems or tribulations. Jesus said,
"You will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
I don't mean that you won't ever have any problems, because we live in a fallen world. But what I do mean is that everything in your life can come into order, and you can walk through
Being a small business owner often means wearing a number of different hats. How many of you act as the CEO, the general manager, the accountant, the salesperson, the computer technician, the secretary, the receptionist, etc.?
Many entrepreneurs try to chase too many targets at once and end up overwhelmed rather than focusing on their business. They spend all their energy carrying out daily tasks leaving little time for the most important part of their business - their own business!
To avoid
Have you ever made big plans for your life, only to fail to act on them? Or maybe you started with a bang and kept your motivation for a few days, but suddenly lost interest.
It’s easy to lose motivation after the initial excitement wears off. But if you want to be successful, it’s important to keep going. The work isn’t going to get done itself.
Understand why you lose your motivation:
1. The planning phase is more fun than the execution phase. Sitting alone at night and making plans for
What do motivational thoughts do? They help you take action. This isn't about positive thinking or motivating quotes. Those have their place in shaping your attitude and thinking. However, what motivates each of us is unique, so you need to have your own thoughts - those which are most effective at getting you going.

God’s Word is clear that He will never leave us. He has made this promise, however, like with all of the Lord’s Covenants, He has a part and we have a part; ours is to keep His Commandments:
“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”(Hebrews 13:5)
God doesn’t leave us; we leave HIM!

Above the Clouds is one of Christian rap’s hidden gems. The duo of iNTELLECT and Tae Lamar represent an element of hip-hop that has become a rare commodity, the pairing of the beat-maker and the emcee. Classic groups once set the trends for the genre and Above the Clouds is helping the culture remember what is truly special about individuals working together with a
In this article, today I want to share with you my 3 top tips to look after your brain. The brain is one of those organs in the body that we can tend to forget when it comes to fitness.

Go easy on yourself - instead of trying to implement them all today, why not try and work them into your schedule over the coming days or even over the next
From time to time, each of us will find ourselves in a rut of boredom and disinterest. We seem to lose our zest for life and feel tired, irritable and unmotivated. We want to hide under the covers rather than face the day. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by work, or sad about the pain and suffering in the world, or just bored with the routine of your daily life.
You are not alone. We all go through periods like this at some point. The good news is that we can do something about it. Here are

And though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.--Job 8:7, AMPC
Who [with reason] despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. [These seven] are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro throughout the whole earth.--Zechariah 4:10, AMPC
Everything--including you and me!--starts with a seed.
Jesus Himself was (the ultimate!) Seed, sown by the Father to die on the cross for

As each day passes, I learn more about myself and the world. I trust my instincts and my insight to guide me to positive choices. I am strong enough to walk away from harmful options.
I put the knowledge that I acquire each day to good use. I learn from my own shortcomings and the mistakes of others. I have the courage to admit when I am wrong and the strength to change course should I find myself on the wrong path.
I have sound judgment and a clear mind. I am brave. I trust my ability to ma
One of the keys to reaching your goals is to eliminate any escape routes. It is tempting to retreat to safety and comfort when challenges and difficulties arise. To avoid turning around and abandoning your goals, you must make going forward more compelling than going back.
When striving towards a goal, you must focus on what you want to obtain and avoid the impulse to go back to what you know and to what is comfortable. When Spanish Conquistador Hernando Cortez landed in Mexico, one of his fir

“Ding!” The bell rang. Joe slumped onto the stool his trainer thrust into his corner as he came to the end of a bloody round 10. He could feel his nose was broken; he had a gaping tear above his left eye. Every bone and muscle in his body ached with intensity. Joe was losing on points, he knew it. “Joe, mate, you can do this!” said his trainer, Mike patching his wounds. “Just get in there and use yo
