I'm tired. Tired and I don't think I have any left in me, to give my company

A few years ago we were in Tuscon visiting friends. Went for a motorcycle ride and had to go through a check point well inside Arizona. Being from Wisconsin, it felt just wrong to have to show my id. Made up my mind, I am not going to be a snowbird.

Burnout. A vicious thing for we self employed. i have been there. First thing I recommend is to just sit back, meditate or pray, and just extract yourself from everything. Are you able to take a couple weeks off and leave the business to a trusted employee or just shut it down entirely? Call your customers and tell them you need a break. They will understand. Go learn to sail or take a cooking course in Greece (yep, I did those) and do something completely out of your experience. Are you a church going man? Maybe you can find a mentor or two who have been exactly where you are that can give you support and friendship. We can't control what our c#nt politicians do to us but we can control our reactions. I wish you the very best.

I did exactly that. Two weeks recharge did wonders for my attitude and mental stability.

Of course, after 2 months back, I am already 'a race car in the Mother F^*@%@! 'en RED' [Pulp Fiction, Tarantino, 1994]

I spend 1-2 hours a night pushing myself on my bicycle just to get rid of negativity. Most times that works.... LOL
