After being burned out and reading a lot into it I think the main reason for a burnout is 'not accepting'.
Not accepting: you hate your job, you need a break, you need to recover from a disease, you hate your house, you need help, you need to stop cheating, your asking too much from your body, and so on.
This causes stress and when this goes on for too long your body burns out.
A lot of this comes from social pressure. You hate your job but you need it to pay the big house. You don't want to buy a smaller house because 'what will my family think of me when I do this'.
Or: I need to go to this client while I am sick because else I might loose them.
Anyway, for those who are feeling burned out I would say: step on the brakes because a burnout can really be dangerous and life threatening.

What if you already have the house? Moving is itself an exhausting and expensive prospect, not to mention the effects of forcing your partner & kids to move with you. It's definitely a last resort.
