Stop Giving Start Living: From Burnout to Chillout (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922597816)

Life is full of surprises. While some are amazing, others can completely knock us off our feet.

A few years ago, Emma Mathews was working in a demanding professional role, living up to the expectations of others. When she was in a pattern of giving all her time and energy away - and not giving herself enough time to fill her own cup - burnout arrived and floored her.

Initially, she struggled to accept what was happening, and wanted to hold onto her usual energetic, giving self. But burnout had other plans. It told her she had to change NOW; which led to her greatest personal transformation.

The modern world is a busy place and often we forget to etch out vital time to look after our own needs. Self-care seems out of reach when the responsibilities of work, kids, family, and expectations control our lives. Busy with multiple competing commitments, we can spiral into a negative cycle of constantly giving.

Stop Giving Start Living is a powerful story of personal discovery and transformation as Emma reveals her experience of burnout and journey to recovery. She shares her sure-fire chillout hacks, so you can recover and start to live life fully again. Professionals, students and mamas at risk of burnout will benefit from Emma's honest insights and practical solutions, to assist and empower them to overcome burnout.
