Nobody jumps out of bed on Monday mornings raring to attack the week—and that bottomless pile of papers on their desk. But if your Monday morning dread is so severe that you’re miserable and feel physically ill, you might be suffering from job burnout. In fact, in a recent poll from Right Management, 92% of employees admit they are more stressed out at work than ever before.

But if you think that a little stress can’t hurt you, think again. In a study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, stress caused by job burnout is a greater cause of heart disease than other known risk factors such as lack of physical exercise or even smoking.

So how can you tell if you’re suffering from job burnout? Some signs include being cranky or irritable at work often, a lack of productivity in the workplace, and even physical symptoms such as headaches or other body ailments. Since you’d like to keep your job—and strengthen your health—here are five ways to avoid job burnout, feel better and keep your job.

Take frequent breaks. Sure, your workload might have doubled since your coworker went on maternity leave. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t swing by the company’s kitchen for a Keurig coffee break every now and then. Getting up from your cluttered desk every half hour or so will give you a much-needed break from your responsibilities and help refresh you.

Prioritize your workload. It may seem like every component of your job is urgent. And feeling like everything has to be done ASAP can zap your energy. So take a good look at your job and decide what needs to be done first. This will help reduce your stress level and allow you to be more productive. And without feeling an incessant time crunch, your outlook on your office duties will improve.

Use your vacation time. Even though you might feel like the office won’t be able to function without you, you should still take some days off to decompress and recharge. Unless you’re saving your vacation time for a big three-week trip to the Greek isles, it’s best to use your paid time off days sporadically—for the times when you really need a break.

Seek new responsibilities. It might seem counterintuitive to add extra duties to your already overflowing workload, but looking for new opportunities to grow (both professionally and personally) can help you get out of the rut of your current position. Learning new skills or being challenged in an entirely different way can breathe new life into your current position.

Ask for a flex schedule. If your commute is killing you, it might be time to talk to your boss about creating a flexible work schedule. Map out your current job and point out the areas in your position in which you could work from home.  Try working from home once or twice a week to start. Not having to commute in 5 days a week might be just the thing you need to ease the stress off of your already stress-filled life.

At some point, everyone suffers from job burnout. But you have to put your health—and happiness—as top priorities in your life. So be aware of how you feel (both physically and emotionally) so that way you can diagnose—and treat—your job burnout, and turn your 9-5 into a career that you’re passionate about again.
