How Do You Get Un-Burned Out?

Question

Being honest, this season has been a brutal one for my business. Lots of people problems, trying to make positive changes only to roll them back, tough jobs, etc etc. I listened to a couple podcasts that really rocked me:
Jobber - Stop Promoting Your Best Tech
Contractor Evolution - Why Contractors Hate Their Businesses
But I sort of realized that I've been operating in fight or flight for probably 3-6 months and I'm probably past the point of burning out. My ideas to find the joy in the business again are:

Pray about it
Make sure I'm exercising and drinking enough water (make sure the body is right)
Try to stack some small wins - finish that estimator I've been working on, hit a social media goal, etc.
Play with my dog more haha

Have any of you been there and were able to reel it in?&nbsp;

It is scientifically proven that dogs reduce stress in dog owners. Somethin deep in our brains are triggered when we look into their eyes and are lucky enough to have that connection. That is a place I start when I am at my limit.

I think as business owners a lot of time we put the most pressure on ourselves.&nbsp; We have to perform, we can't take a day off or holidays, we have to be always on.&nbsp; While this is true - which I have made peace with, also it is ok for us to take rest, take a night off and just watch tv or movies or whatever fills our cups.&nbsp; If our cups are not full we can't fill others.&nbsp;&nbsp;
