5 Signs You're Burned Out and How You Can Start Recovery

Did you know that there is such a thing as being TOO tired? This feeling is called “burn-out” and is defined as being “in a state of physical or mental collapse”. Burn-out happens when your body and mind don’t have the ample opportunity to recover.
