What is burnout?

Burnout in New Psychology DREVO

In the New Psychology DREVO, burnout is considered a state of chronic exhaustion of a person, which occurs when the expenditure of physical, emotional and psychological resources exceeds their restoration over a long period of time.

Burnout doesn't happen overnight.
It develops gradually.
First, the energy disappears.
Then interest.
Then a sense of meaning.

If a person continues to live in the same way, the body begins to limit his activity in order to preserve vital resources.

Thus, burnout can be seen as a protective reaction of the body to prolonged overload.

Burnout is a state of prolonged physical, emotional, and psychological exhaustion, accompanied by a decrease in motivation, performance, sense of effectiveness, and interest in activities.

The World Health Organization defines burnout as a phenomenon associated with chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. More broadly, such exhaustion can also occur in other areas of life.

Why does burnout occur?

In New Psychology DREVO, burnout develops when the balance between giving and recovery is disrupted.

The main reasons may be:

chronic stress;
lack of adequate rest;
permanent responsibility;
emotional stress;
lack of support;
lack of meaning in activity;
inability to influence the situation;
conflict between human values and environmental demands.

The longer this imbalance persists, the higher the risk of burnout.

How does burnout develop?

Burnout usually goes through several stages.
Enthusiasm.
The person works with full dedication.
Overload.
Resources begin to be used up faster than they can be restored.
Exhaustion.
Fatigue, irritability and loss of interest appear.
Indifference.
A person stops experiencing joy from what was previously important.
Devastation.
Even simple tasks begin to require excessive effort.

Burnout and the Body

Burnout affects more than just the psyche.

It may be accompanied by:

chronic fatigue;
sleep disturbance;
muscle tension;
decreased immune protection;
headaches;
impaired concentration;
a feeling of constant lack of energy.

The body begins to communicate that the previous regime can no longer be maintained.

Burnout and meaning

One of the characteristics of burnout is the gradual loss of meaning in one's activities.

The person can continue to perform their usual work.

But the feeling of inner connection with what it is being done for disappears.

In the New Psychology DREVO, meaning is considered one of the most important sources of psychological energy.

When it disappears, the exhaustion intensifies.

How is burnout different from laziness?

Laziness is often associated with a lack of readiness to initiate action.

Burnout occurs after a long period of overactivity and overload.

A lazy person often still has strength, but does not want to use it.

A person suffering from burnout often wants to take action, but feels that they have almost no internal resources left.

How to recover?

Recovery doesn't start with increasing the load.
It starts with resource recovery.
This may include:

complete rest;
normalization of sleep;
reduction of chronic stress;
physical activity;
restoration of relations;
change of operating mode;
rethinking life goals;
seeking professional help if necessary.

Sometimes recovery requires changing not only your lifestyle, but also your work organization or environment.

The main principle

Burnout does not mean a person is weak.

It means that his system has been running for too long without sufficient recovery.

The body stops demanding feats.
He begins to demand care.
Restoring energy does not mean giving up on development.
This is a necessary condition for further growth.

Definition

Burnout is a state of chronic physical, emotional and psychological exhaustion that occurs as a result of a long-term discrepancy between the expenditure and restoration of a person's vital resources.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, burnout is viewed as an imbalance between the body, psyche, consciousness, will, values, and lifestyle. Overcoming it requires restoring personal integrity, not just a temporary break.

A person is like a tree. If a tree continually produces fruit but does not receive water, light, and nourishment, it gradually stops growing. Likewise, a person cannot give endlessly without replenishing their inner strength.

What is happiness?

Happiness in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology of DREVO, happiness is viewed as a state of inner harmony that occurs when a person lives in harmony with themselves, their values, the people around them, and the world.

Happiness is not constant joy.
Not the absence of difficulties.
Not endless pleasure.

Happiness is a feeling of fullness of life, in which a person feels that he is developing, loving, creating and moving in the right direction for himself.

What is happiness?

Happiness is a state of harmonious interaction between the body, psyche, consciousness, will, soul, spirit, social connections and the meaning of life.

When these levels are aligned with each other, a person experiences inner integrity.

It is this state that becomes the basis of happiness.

Why can't you buy happiness?

Money can improve the quality of life.
They can provide security, comfort, education and new opportunities.
But by themselves they do not create:

Love;
trust;
meaning;
friendship;
inner peace;
self-respect;
a sense of purpose.

Therefore, material well-being is an important part of life, but not the only source of happiness.

What makes happiness?

In the New Psychology of DREVO, happiness is born from the harmony of several spheres of life.

Healthy body

When the body receives movement, rest, nutrition and care, it is easier for a person to feel vitality.

Calm psyche

Emotional stability helps you to overcome difficulties without losing your inner balance.

Free consciousness

A person is capable of thinking independently, choosing and taking responsibility for his life.

Strong will

Willpower helps to turn dreams into actions.

Moving towards important goals brings deep satisfaction.

An open soul

A person lives in harmony with his conscience, love and inner values.

Strong spirit

Life takes on direction.

A person understands why he lives and what he strives for.

Loving relationship

Family.
Friends.
Community.
Cooperation.
Love and trust are among the most important sources of human happiness.

Creative work

A person is happier when he feels that his abilities benefit other people.

Work becomes not only a way to earn money, but also a way to leave a good mark on the world.

Harmony with nature

A person feels like a part of life.

He receives strength from nature and at the same time takes care of it.

Happiness and pleasure

Pleasure and happiness are not the same thing.
Pleasure is usually short-lived.
It is associated with a specific experience.
Happiness is more sustainable.
It is connected with the way of life and the feeling of its fulfillment.
A person can experience pleasure and remain deeply unhappy.

And vice versa - during a difficult period of life, maintain a sense of meaning and inner support.

Happiness and development

Happiness does not mean the absence of difficulties.

It means the ability to see the meaning of one's path even when that path requires effort.

Man is developing.
Studies.
He is mistaken.
Overcomes obstacles.
Creates something new.
And it is this process that makes life fulfilling.

In DREVO's New Psychology, happiness is understood not as an end goal, but as a natural state of a person who develops in harmony with themselves and the world.

The main principle

Happiness cannot be achieved once and for all.
It cannot be given as a gift.
It can't be bought.

It is born every day through lifestyle, actions, relationships, health, development and creation.

The more harmoniously a person develops, the deeper his happiness becomes.

Definition

Happiness is a state of inner harmony and integrity that occurs when a person lives in accordance with their values, realizes their abilities, builds healthy relationships, takes care of their body and mind, and makes a creative contribution to the lives of others.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, happiness is viewed not as random luck or a constant emotion, but as the result of the coordinated work of all levels of the personality and its harmonious interaction with society, nature, and the future.

Happiness isn't the moment when a person gets everything they want. Happiness is a state in which a person becomes who they are capable of becoming and helps the world around them develop.

What is love?

Love in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology DREVO, love is seen as a fundamental force in the development of personality and life.

Love is not just a feeling.
Not just emotion.
Not just a hormonal reaction.
Not just romantic relationships.

Love is a conscious desire to preserve, develop, protect and reveal life.

If fear seeks to save life from danger,

then love strives to make life richer, deeper and more beautiful.

What is love?

Love is a conscious desire for the good of another person, oneself, society, nature and life in general, manifested through respect, care, freedom, responsibility and creativity.

Love is always aimed at development.

She helps life become stronger.

Love as a state of personality

Love is born not so much from the desire to possess another person, but from inner maturity.

Therefore, love is not only a relationship with another.
It becomes a way of existence for the person himself.
A loving person strives to create, not to destroy.
Unite, not divide.
Support, don't suppress.

Love and affection

Love and affection are not the same thing.
Attachment says:
"I need you to be happy."
Love says:
"I want you to live, develop and be happy."
Affection is afraid of being lost.
Love helps you grow.

True love does not negate intimacy and mutual support, but respects the freedom and dignity of the other person.

Love and the body

Love also manifests itself at the level of the body.

In close and trusting relationships, the functioning of the nervous system changes, releasing hormones and neurotransmitters associated with attachment, pleasure, and a sense of security.

However, biological processes are only one side of love.

They accompany love, but do not exhaust its meaning.

Love and the psyche

Love creates a sense of security.
It helps a person to reveal their abilities.
Develop trust.
Study.
To create.
Overcome difficulties.

In many cases, it is the experience of love that becomes the basis for an individual’s psychological stability.

Love and soul

In the New Psychology of DREVO, the soul is the source of love.

It is through love that a person experiences unity with other people and feels the value of life.

Love helps the soul to open up.

The more a person is able to love, the deeper his inner world is revealed.

Love and Spirit

The spirit determines the direction of life.
Love determines the quality of this path.
A strong spirit without love can become harshness.
Love without spirit can remain only a good intention.

Only the union of love and spirit creates the creative power of personality.

Love and freedom

True love is impossible without freedom.
It does not destroy personality.
Does not turn a person into property.
Doesn't require giving up your own dignity.
Love creates a space in which both people can grow.

Love as the basis of civilization

In a family, love breeds trust.
In community there is cooperation.
There is solidarity in society.
In relation to nature - responsibility.
In relation to future generations - care.
Thus, love becomes one of the foundations of a sustainable civilization.

The main principle

Love is not measured by the strength of feelings.

It is measured by how much life comes from a person.

If there is more trust, freedom, health, beauty, knowledge, cooperation, and hope around a person, then love is manifested in their actions.

Definition

Love is a conscious desire to preserve, protect, develop and reveal life in all its manifestations, based on respect, freedom, responsibility and creation.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, love is considered the highest form of personal maturity, uniting the body, psyche, consciousness, will, soul and spirit into a single direction of development.

Love isn't something a person feels. Love is something a person creates. The more life, freedom, goodness, knowledge, and creativity a person brings, the deeper their capacity for love unfolds.
