Thank you, Brandon for bringing this to light and sharing your experience. As a driven individual, I feel like most of us don't realized the load we carry because its our normal daily execution. For me, I have an agenda and I simply go and accomplish it. As mentioned in the article, it's not until we burnout that we are forced to open our eyes to the problem at hand - work/life balance. We are all at different stages in life with different professions. However, the sooner I realize where I am at in life and boundaries I need to set, that's when I learn to prioritize time and my work/life balance. Also, to deal with any type of work stress, I just workout because it's so much healthier than drinking. Honestly, the gym has kept me from carrying so much internal stress and a walk in the park helps me think clearly. Overall, what works for me is having a healthy body which equates to a healthy mind.
