An article from Realty Times, examines that factors that lead to burnout and how to avoid them so that you can....burn brightly. Factors that can lead to burnout include: 1) Failure to pace ourselves; 2) Trying to do it all; 3) Accepting the problems of others; 4) Majoring in minor things; 5) Unrealistic expectations; 6) Not making the important things in life a priority; and 7) Poor physical condition. One thing you can do to avoid burnout is to know yourself - your behavioral style, your purpose and your passion. Determining your behavioral style or DISC style involves evaluating four key areas: Dominance, Influencer, Steady and Compliant. Your style affects your communication patterns and how you process information. As Lao Tse, a famous Chinese philosopher once said, "He who knows others in learned. He who know himself is wise."
