RE-CHARGING YOUR PASSION

While taking time to go through this book stuff on passion, I want to communicate with those of who realize that you are losing your zest for life. It may be due to the fact that you have overworked yourself and you are paying the price. You may be seeing the beginnings of what we call burnout. There are a number of symptoms of burnout and I want to share some with you. These include;-


1. Physical. ( Apparent bodily ailments )
2. Mental. (Thoughts )
3. Emotional. ( Feelings )
4. Social. (Relationships )
5. Spiritual. (Our relationship with God )

1: PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS.

Constant tiredness - an almost total exhaustion.
a. This is the situation where you are constantly and inexplicably exhausted. You are totally depleted both emotionally and physically. Everything you do is a major task, even what you used to enjoy.

b. Apathy and indifference with a diminished sense of responsibility.
Apathy is basically a mental state of indifference and lack of interest. You are not bothered whether things are going well or not. You are insensitive and people wonder what has come over you - you just float through the days.

c. Loss of creativity and concentration = poor productivity.

Because you cannot concentrate, you leave jobs half done. There is therefore a loss of creativity. Your inventive and imaginative powers are diminished. Clearly in such a situation, you can achieve little.
OVERCOMING
One of the best ways to overcome this situation is to take a recreation. And one of the best ways of recreation is to travel. Take a break from all the hustle. You may be doing something good for God but for God's sake what will you achieve further if you become a wreck? Learn how to use travel agencies. They give you some peace of mind by helping you concentrate on what is absolutely enjoyable on your trips. More tips will follow so you can recharge your passion.
