How to reduce stress and avoid burnt out syndrom

If one observes, how some people can be very busy over many years, without suffering from too much stress or even suffering from burnt out syndrom, then one finds, that they enjoy their work very much and that they have found a balance between work und time to relax.


One example is Steve Jobs frorm Apple:

Steve Job gives following recommendations, how to live:

• No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.
• And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent.
• It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

• Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
• Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
• And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

It may not  be easy for everybody, to follow those advices,   if  he is employed. But  frustration in work can get balanced by activities in leisure time. And one can also try to find a more satisfying work or get self employed.
