Burnout can steal the joy from your life and make you feel like an empty shell of your former self. If you are feeling inexplicably exhausted, uninspired and questioning the value of the work you do, you may be suffering from burnout.

September arrives with a cool breeze, the sound of leaves skittering along the sidewalk and a feeling of transition as we start a new season. It provides a unique opportunity to reset, refocus and get organized for the year ahead.

If you’re dreaming of a summer getaway, now’s the time to go! Whether you travel near or far, you’ll benefit in many ways from a change of scenery and change of pace. What matters most is getting a break from your usual routine by seeing and experiencing new things.

Running through a sprinkler on a hot day. The taste of corn fresh from the grill. Swimming in a river, lake, ocean or pool. These are but a few of the joys of summer. Make sure to be in the moment and savor the simple pleasures of these long, bright days.

Something as simple as being outside can improve your frame of mind. Seeing the world around you — clouds, birds, children and adults — can help you refocus away from yourself, which is helpful for anyone struggling with depression and anxiety.
