With the fast pace of life, many demands at home, work and other groups we belong to. It will not be a surprise when people feel burned out. The symptoms is not quiet hard: First you are no longer happy with what you do, you feel easily tired, you often daydream while doing your work, you are excited to go home and at weekend, Monday is not your favorite day, you see many reasons to grumble, you often talked to co-worker about the weakness of your company, you often find yourself impatient to other co-workers which often leads to relational conflicts. This situation has been a result of many negative experiences as well: Your work doesn't give you excitement or challenge anymore, your pay is not enough for your needs,you have conflicts with your boss or other co-worker, your job is not enriching you anymore, and you receive very little or no appreciation at all. Are you in this state right now?

There are times at work and after work that I feel like I am starting to get burnt out. Then I can easily mention it to my boss and I can get a few days off in a row and have a sort of break. My job is incredibly stressful and there are times when I need a vacation from it.

Just grab a rest and vacation when you feel you need it before you finally lost a job or the zest to do the job, it both has a detrimental effect.

my company understands that we need a break from time to time and are very flexible in giving us time off when we need it.
