Burnout – whether it be from job, work or by being a caregiver to someone, or being a work and home mom- is common among most of us. In fact, more common than we think it is.

Burnout can creep upon insidiously. One day you may wake up and find yourself not feeling like going to work anymore. There is no joy, no excitement, no anticipation. If it happens long enough, it may lead to a state of negative attitude and self concept towards work and life.

Pessimists, on the other hand, tend to be fatalistic. Everything is viewed as a disaster.
The ability to look on the bright side of life, think constructively and creatively, expect success, be inspired and motivated to accomplish your goals, not giving up, believing in yourself and displaying self esteem and confidence, seeking opportunities and solutions, are certainly to be craved and emulated.
However, often, when one feels down, the words "Think positive!" somehow gives an empty ring.
Especially when it is not easy to do in the midst of a crisis, an unexpected situation, or one in which one has not been able to get out of for a long time.
