[getty]

I saw burnout happen to a few guys around me, the work was pretty interesting but constantly moving goal posts caused a great deal of undue stress at work. I was also preparing to undergo a big change in my personal life too so decided to quit with a month’s notice. I’ve been off work since mid September and did a week long silent meditation retreat, walked/solo wild camped the Pennine Way for 16 days and spent some time in Rwanda exploring at my own pace.

In between i’ve been cycling, reading and working on things I neglected for the past few years. I feel much better for it

Today I’m going to polish my CV up and have started letting my network know I’m keen to work again. I have a better sense of what I want to do this time and tools to prevent as much stress in future
