Finding a Path with a Heart: How to Go from Burnout to Bliss

Burnout is a motivational problem. The person is de-motivated, de-spirited, de-pressed, and de-couraged and just can't 'get moving'. The challenge of burnout is to become a good self-manager so that, just as you may manage employees on the job, so too, you must manage yourself well... which includes getting yourself moving and keeping yourself moving-performing, with the use of well-sculpted goals, positive rewards and other means. The challenge in going from burnout to bliss is captured in this question: Now that you're moving (motivated, performing); where are you going? Some people are moving-performing... but they go around and around, achieving little. Others may be top performers, achieving impressive heights, but find little real satisfaction and long for something more fulfilling. You must lead yourself to figure out where you are going and then move in that direction. Finding a Path with Heart shows how to find direction and meaning in your work and your life. The path you are seeking may be a career direction, a project you are working on, or any task where you are trying to find the way from where you are to your completed objective. Docpotter shows how to find your own path, one that is in tune with your values and that makes your heart sing. Bliss - joy, ecstasy, happiness - a positive state of peak performance called the "flow" state. When in the flow state people feel 'at one' with what they are doing, action seems effortless, attention is highly focused and performance is optimal.
