Are you burnt out?

Modeling is a long road and you have to try not to get burnt out along the way..

I feel it is very important you realise the emotional and physical strength needed.

Even the most obsessive and driven model can get burnt out if you don’t pace yourself and have a very good work/home, work/play balance. It may sound like a cliché but you really need to be careful you don’t run yourself into the ground while trying to pursue your dreams of becoming a model.

The money, the fame and the lifestyle all attract and lure you into an obsessive state (not everyone but those truly serious on changing ones circumstances) and if you are not careful you can really become even more obsessed over time on becoming famous and in the process you loss the plot and you forget to have a life lol.

In my case I must confess I have become obsessive with success and gaining a better lifestyle for myself and I find it very easy to loss sight of being just me for a day or two. I always have to achieve goals and think strategically about my next moves and I always like to see results and achieve on a daily basis otherwise I don’t feel as though I have accomplished anything that week and so I write this article knowing all to well that I find it very difficult to get a good home/work balance.

I guess I feel as though I always need to be on the move, I am learning it is sometimes better to move slower but once you know where you are heading you can hit your target more easily and in the middle and with one shoot rather then 10 attempts (I hope this makes sense?), whereas I find I am always on the move and it becomes too fast paced and you sometimes end up taking the long journey rather then the short cut and so I wanted to speak about this in today’s article so you don’t make the same mistakes as me and you don’t have to become burn out several times to learn this.

Anyway, I hope you can gain from this it happens to all of us!!

My point is – Advice Tip:

You have to know what you want to achieve first of all and then you need to know how to get it – (this is the strategic part), then you need to move slow enough to take the journey the short cut route yet still achieve your goals and have a good balance in life so you don’t get frustrated when things are not going well and yet still having fun.
