 I've absolutely experienced stress, stagnation and burnout in my life several times so I wanted to get to the root of it because I figure if it can help me, certainly somebody else out there is going through similar difficulties and challenges so I want to offer that to them. So when I find myself getting momentarily stressed, I actually smile, have a kind and compassionate conversation with myself and just say, Alan remember, you write about this, you speak about this, now you need to live it.
