We live in the era of, “yes, I can”. We tell ourselves that whatever we want to achieve, if we work hard enough, we can do it.

I really, really can’t”.

And when you really, really can’t, you have probably burned out.

Burnout is a big problem in the UK these days. According to anew YouGov survey commissioned by Virgin in 2015, over half (51%) of full-time UK employees said they have experienced anxiety or burnout in their current job.
