I see so many talented personal trainers burn out in our industry. The reason so many talented personal trainers are burning out is that we are trying to be everything for everyone and often times we don't take enough time for ourselves. By nature, many of us are givers and it is often easy to keep on giving.

At the end of the day, if you are exhausted and not taking enough time for yourself it will affect how you are with clients. I decide on a number of training sessions that is do-able for me to handle each week and I stick with my schedule. I also block off time for my own exercise sessions. If you aren't taking care of yourself, you aren't living up to the healthy role model you are supposed to be.

Take time for yourself, don't be afraid to say "no" and stay balanced and healthy:-)
