The sudden fatigue, the lack of motivation, and the need for rest all make for an unpleasant feeling. But the symptoms of burnout aren't limited to the body; the mind and spirit are equally affected.

Recent studies show that more than half of the workforce experiences some level of burnout. If you’re feeling like you’re constantly on edge, your brain is probably telling you that you need a break.
