You\u2019re bored or uninspired.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re starting to fall asleep on the job \u2013lack of sleep and insomnia aside\u2013 something could be terribly wrong. If you\u2019re bored that probably means that you\u2019re not learning anything new. You\u2019re not challenged. Also, being uninspired for long periods of time could become detrimental to not just your job, but also your future career. It could kill your passion for the job and the industry you work for. Not ready to quit? Try talking to your superiors about getting more challenging tasks and learning opportunities. If that doesn\u2019t pan out, start looking at other options.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_You_dont_want_to_be_your_boss\"><\/span><strong>2. You don\u2019t want to be your boss.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Going up the career ladder means that one day, you will become your boss. If at this point you don\u2019t see yourself wanting to become him, if you can\u2019t imagine yourself doing his job, you might want to start thinking twice about the job and the industry that you\u2019re in. Not being able to see yourself in his shoes could mean that you\u2019re heading towards career limbo.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Not sure about it? Talk to your boss about other possible career paths that you could aim for. If it doesn\u2019t work, call it quits.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Its_a_manic_Monday_everyday\"><\/span><strong>3. It\u2019s a manic Monday, everyday.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sure, we\u2019ve all had a case of the Mondays. But if you\u2019re dragging your feet to work everyday, if everyday feels like a Monday, then this job just might not be for you. Loving your job means being excited to hit the ground running, no matter how challenging your tasks may be. Having a manic week? Try going on a really long vacation first with absolutely no work-related activities. If that doesn\u2019t recharge you, it\u2019s time to move.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_You_feel_irrelevant\"><\/span><strong>4. You feel irrelevant.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s human nature to want to feel important. All of us, deep down, crave to accomplish something \u2013 anything. If you\u2019ve worked so hard and yet you feel like you haven\u2019t done anything, then you\u2019re in a rut. Try talking to your boss about possible projects that you could start, or projects that you could help with. If you still feel irrelevant after that, turn in that resignation letter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Youre_stressed_and_eating_Or_not_eating\"><\/span><strong>5. You\u2019re stressed and eating. Or not eating.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve all ordered\u00a0<em>merienda<\/em>\u00a0to get through a tough day. But if you\u2019re stuffing yourself silly or doing the exact opposite, and if work-related stress is starting to affect your health, then it could be a sign that this job isn\u2019t a good fit.\u00a0Excessive levels of stress can lead to\u00a0<strong>sleep disorders, upset stomach, headaches and elevated blood pressure.\u00a0<\/strong>It can<strong>\u00a0accelerate heart disease, and also cause emotional exhaustion and depression.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Talk to your boss about how the stress is getting to you. Tell him about your health. Ask for a few days off and use the time to reconnect with yourself and your passions. Get healthy. Get better. Else, leave this worrisome job behind.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Courage_child_Courage\"><\/span><strong>Courage, child. Courage.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Remember, work isn\u2019t just there to pay the bills. It should be fun, challenging, and it should fill you with inspiration.
