Causes of Burnout
According to Michelle Cleere's article in Triathlete Magazine this month, there are three personality traits that increase a person's chance of burnout.
They are according to her:
1. Perfectionism - setting too high of standards for yourself and others
2. Focus on others - having a strong need to be liked and admired
3. Lack of assertive interpersonal skills - can't say no or express anger without guilt
I, having lived with/observed Donna for some time now, would like to add the following:
4. Inability to recognize the above in oneself
Now I, on the other hand, have to get back to doing something close to nothing whether you like it or not.
