You numb out to those sensations and those feelings that actually kept us going.

motivated and going and made it exciting and something that we wanted to do.

This is especially difficult for people who are very passionate about what they do because you lose the passion and then they're questioning what they're doing.

It's the burnout.

It's not that they've lost the touch.

They've become numb to it.

And the main feature is this feeling of exhaustion, of fatigue.

You just feel...

tired and you feel cynical towards what you're doing and a good night's rest isn't going to do it.

And even a weekend's rest, if you can get it, is not going to do it.

There's something bone-tied.

I got burnt out in year one, after one year of my profession, somebody who's an early achiever and wants to achieve quick.

I achieved burnout quick, for sure.

And the thing is, I felt like I'd been doing it for 30 years.

Yes.

And I felt like I'd been doing it for 40 years.

I felt like, oh, I'm just going to the office again.

More of this.

I had just started.
