\"\"<\/a>Most people are under the mistaken impression that workplace burnout is a natural part of the work\/life relationship. They feel it\u2019s normal to be stressed out and overextended on a regular basis. In fact, a nationwide survey looking at American society\u2019s behaviors and attitudes noted that half of the respondents were always tired because of being overworked.<\/p>\n

20 years ago, it was just 18 percent; now 50% of workers are reaching workplace burnout.<\/p>\n

One of the leading areas for burnout is in the field of Technology.\u00a0 The people who are feeling the burnout the greatest are mid-executive women.\u00a0 In researching why, I interviewed Joanne Victoria. Joanne Victoria is The<\/strong> I Know What Works Coach. <\/strong>She is also the author of 7 books including\u00a0Lighting Your Path – How To Create the Life You Want<\/em> and\u00a0Pushy<\/em>\u00a0 For a Moment-Instant Solutions to Everyday Challenges<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to Victoria, it would appear that most female technology executives see the attainment of harmony in the work\/life relationship as nearly impossible. Nearly, but not totally, impossible.<\/p>\n

For example, in the past, Victoria says the word \u201cburnout\u201d only applied to people in certain fields \u2013 police officers, firefighters, social workers, paramedics and healthcare workers. Today, the term has been expanded and now encompasses most occupations especially those that are hyperactive, connected and overcompensate for whatever reason.<\/p>\n

Victoria adds that occasional burnouts are normal \u2013 everybody feels burned out by their job. A writer may feel burned out with writing articles after they\u2019ve been doing it for hours upon hours with no substantial break.<\/p>\n

However, according to multiple psychologists, experts and organizations, occupational burnout is more than taking a vacation or going on a retreat to refresh one\u2019s mind and body. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that long-term, unresolved workforce burnout isn\u2019t just a symptom of a larger problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a major health problem.\u201d Victoria says.<\/p>\n

The CDC reports that people are not physically and emotionally designed to stay constantly stressed out. People have succumbed to the notion that always moving means being productive but it\u2019s a dangerous fallacy.\u00a0 It\u2019s not easy to recognize signs of a burnout, which many see as a failure of doing everything. It\u2019s not a failure; it\u2019s a chronic disease.<\/p>\n

Joanne Victoria instructs that when people are stressed out there are symptoms that are easy to observe.\u00a0 The symptoms include:<\/p>\n
