We have been learning about living a life of balance, But let’s be honest many times we will just keep on doing the things we have always done. We will keep a chaotic life without applying the principles necessary to change our direction. The sad truth is that many are headed toward burnout.

For a life out of balance the fallout is burnout. So today we are going to learn “How to Avoid Burnout”.

If you are a first time guest today please go to out Information Pavilion in the Town Square and receive a gift we have for you.

Have a great day!
