If you are experiencing burnout or feel stressed out from the demands of your career or life in general, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.

I'm Bob Miller, a Naturopathic Health Consultant, a person who helps individuals rebuild their health naturally.

I found that many of my clients were experiencing the following problems:

• Stress Related Health Problems
• Fatigue
• Difficulty Sleeping
• Difficulty Concentrating
• Getting angry quickly or feeling depressed
• Stress Related Relationships, Marital & Family problems

I have seen too many of my clients health, careers and marriages being ruined by job stress and burnout. To try to help them, I looked at a lot of stress management products, but never found any that went far enough to the real root causes of the stressful feelings that caused the burnout.

First, let me reveal to you how you get to burnout or feeling stressed out! There's five steps involved.

1. Burnout Begins With a Life Sorrow
   
   

   The beginning and root cause of burnout or feeling stressed out can be traced back to what I call a "sorrow." A sorrow includes the following:

   • Too much being demanded of you!
   • What is expected of you exceeds your abilities.
   • Being criticized or put down
   • Loss of Loved Ones
   • Traumatic Life Events (Job Loss, Divorce, Financial Setbacks)
   • Losing Things We Had
   • Never Receiving Things We Anticipated
   • Serious Illness
   • Setbacks and Disappointments in Careers and Personal Life
   • Life not turning out as we anticipated

   Sorrow can make us feel incomplete, as if we do not have everything we need to be whole and successful. In its most severe state, we may lose the will to go on.

2. Sorrow Creates Fear
   
   

   As a direct result of sorrow, we experience fear. For example, the:

   • Fear of experiencing a similar, or other, loss
   • Fear of being rejected by others because of our perceived deficiencies or inadequacies,
   • Fear of being harmed again in some way
   • Fear of Failure...or sometimes...fear of success!
   • Fear of being unable to live up to what is expected or demanded of us.

3. Fear Creates Anger, Guilt, Shame or Depressing Thoughts

   Because of our sorrow and fear, we may become resentful or angry, or we can also experience this in the form of guilt or shame. This anger can be directed toward family members, others we meet, or the world in general.

   Some individuals become angry at God. Or, if it's unacceptable to vent anger, it may be turned inward, experiencing it as feeling down or depressed. If left unresolved, this anger can ruin relationships, careers, marriages, business opportunities and your health.

4. Self Esteem is Lowered

   The next thing that happens is feelings of unworthiness. All of the previous feelings lower your sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Your motivation and drive to try new things often decreases because you have less and less confidence in your abilities.

5. You Begin To Worry or Think Too Much

   Finally, you begin to worry and over-think, possibly creating feelings of anxiety.

   You may worry about another sorrow issue occurring, but it can expand into worrying about many things. As your mind fills with worry, your ability to perform tasks, interact with others, and sleep decreases.

The Downward Spiral of Stress that Leads to Burnout or Feeling Stressed Out

If left unchecked, this pattern may continue into a downward spiral, with each new sorrow creating more fear, more anger or depression, lower self-esteem and even more worry and anxiety, until you are completely burned out and stressed out.

There you have it, all of the components that go into creating burnout. You see, burnout is nothing more than a combination of feelings of loss, fears, anger in its various forms, lowered self-esteem and worry. No wonder it creates so much havoc in your life!
