What do you do to avoid dangerous burnout?

Burnout. There’s an old Chinese proverb that says “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” But even if you love what you’re doing, it can feel like too much sometimes. Too many pages to write, too many e-mails to check, too many things to do! It can all become too much and to avoid reaching the point of burnout, I set aside time to read, create something, or garden. Gardening is actually one of my favorite ways to unwind and there are studies that show that getting your hands in the soil can help with depression! Why? Gardening helps release serotonin thanks to bacteria in the soil. Amazing right? But how about you? What do you do to avoid burnout?
