1. You are worried about going to work and can not wait to leave

Previously, your work brought you joy, but the minutes run out like molbades. Everyone has some boring items on their to-do list, but that goes further. Even the fun and exciting parts of your day are unattractive and frustrating to complete.

2. You find yourself unproductive and have trouble concentrating

Not only does your work seem unmanageable, but simple tasks take much longer and distracted breaks become more commonplace. You may not have the energy to be productive, the work may not seem interesting, or you can not focus, whatever your efforts.

3. You lack patience with your colleagues and customers

Irritability is at its highest level and even your friends in the office annoy you. Impatience is a symptom of underlying stress and anxiety badociated with burnout.

4. You suffer from unexplained headaches, stomach upset or nausea

Chronic stress causes physical symptoms that make you feel bad. These can also be signs of another mental health problem or other underlying medical problem. Have them checked by a doctor if they interfere with your daily life.

5. You can not seem to overcome this cold

Overwork compromises your immune system. Your sniffles and sore throats will not go away, no matter how many home treatments you try.

6. You're exhausted all day, but you can not sleep at night

Not only is fatigue a symptom of burnout, but insomnia also occupies a prominent place on the list. Your workload is so overwhelming that you can not fall asleep or stay asleep all night.

7. You stop enjoying activities outside of work

Even in the end, spending time with family and friends is not as enjoyable as it was. As burnout progresses, disinterest in the work extends to the rest of your life.

How to relieve burnout

If any of the above situations sound right for you, burnout can sabotage your life. The good news is that you can take real action to remedy the situation. Now that you know what you are suffering from, here are eight ways to reverse your burnout.

Eat your vegetables and drink more water

You've heard it a thousand times, but it's really helpful to focus on a healthy diet and stay hydrated. If you fail to stay motivated to increase your water intake, these bottles of water help.

Exercise

Sleep more

Try to connect the recommended seven to eight hours. If insomnia interferes with your nocturnal rest, improve basic sleep hygiene, such as leaving mosquito nets in the room. Weighted Covers have also been shown to help end sleepless nights.

Say no to additional job responsibilities

Do not go beyond your basic job description, but if there are related projects, consider declining. Wait until your pbadion for your work is renewed before saying yes to take on additional tasks.

Take a break, then take another

No, a vacation will not solve your problem of burnout. However, regular integration of weekend trips or stays can help reduce burnout. Oh, and leave the laptop at home to not be tempted to work.

Spend time with HIV-positive people and limit contact with those who kill you

Make an effort to connect with people who are raising and supporting you. Reduce the time spent with negative people who reduce your self-esteem or undermine your creative energy.

Practice yoga or try mediation

If stress makes you anxious, meditation and yoga may be the last thing to do. But forcing yourself to slow down and take a few deep breaths can help calm you down. You can even meditate on the thumb.

Allow time to play

Reconnecting with the player side of your personality can also be the key to relaxation. Everyone has different pbadions, so find all the activities you consider "fun" and take the time to do them. If you want to have a good time on a mountain bike, find a way to venture on the slopes after a stressful day of work.

Burnout is not a problem that will resolve itself in a few days. It takes time, but if you make an effort to incorporate some of these steps into your daily life, you will be much better equipped to handle stress and burnout at work.
