Most important for preventing burn-out is awareness:

• recognize the symptoms of burn-out
• realize that you have limited amount of resources and energy
• be aware of your physical and mental health. Remember that if you have been tired and worn out for a long time, you may perceive this state as ”normal”
• do something about factors and situations that are stressful, and make you worn-down and worried

• better balance in your rest, recreation, and career to avoid over-consumption of your resources and energy
• sufficient sleep and recreation
• regularly physical activity
• eat healthy
• deal with your problems and conflicts in life – worries don’t solve anything
