  Many people assume that chasing a dream is a luxury. Something to think about when work becomes less demanding, after the kids are older and when life finally slows down. The reality is that putting your dreams on hold indefinitely can have an impact on your mental well-being. Goals give us direction, purpose, and a sense of progression. They don’t have to involve big things like starting a business or accomplishing something extraordinary. A meaningful goal might be returning to school, learning a new skill, prioritizing your health, strengthening relationships, or pursuing a creative passion you’ve neglected for years.

  When most people think of summer, they picture vacations, longer days, and a slower pace of life. But summer can be one of the most challenging times of year for employees who are already carrying the weight of chronic work-related stress. While colleagues post vacation photos and families enjoy time together, some workers find themselves feeling increasingly exhausted and overwhelmed. At our practice, we often see clients who are surprised that their symptoms of burnout become more noticeable during the summer months. There are several reasons why this happens and it’s important to understand them. Why Summer Can Intensify Burnout Workplace burnout doesn’t develop overnight.
