Take steps to avoid burnout.

If you work long hours and are doing way too much, you may be a candidate for burnout—which is the opposite of feeling good. The signs of burnout include headaches, exhaustion, lack of enthusiasm, loss of interest in sex, heart palpitations, feeling irritable, and having no time for family and friends. If you are feeling burned out, it’s important to make some positive changes in your life. Burnout can affect your health and your personal life.
• Get the support you need to balance work/life issues. Ask your manager for help and support. Or contact your EAP or employee resource program.
• Talk with your health care provider about your concerns.
• Force yourself to take daily “mini-vacations.” Go for a walk at lunchtime. Or take time out of your busy day to meditate.
