The term burnout is widely used to describe someone who is experiencing mental fatigue. Burnout itself can be experienced by anyone, including employees. But what exactly is burnout, and is it the same as depression?
Through Wolipop's kulwap entitled 'Rising from Mentally Tired' on Tuesday (13/9/2022), Novie explained about burnout. Although they have symptoms and behaviors that are similar to depression, burnout and depression are different things.
"Burnout with depression is different. Where this burnout, as previously explained, yes, this is related to prolonged stress associated with certain roles. But if this depression usually does occur because of something more complex and in the long term longer time," explained Novie.
For employees, usually burnout can occur due to various things, one of which is too much or too heavy work. If you are an employee as well as the breadwinner of the family, then the burnout situation you face will definitely feel difficult and not easy. Then how to solve it?
"To be able to regulate emotions, love destiny, and restore enthusiasm, we need to start from the roots first. What kind of roots are there, which is related to acceptance of the conditions that are currently being faced or accepted," explained Novie.
Novie said that accepting the conditions and oneself is the main gate key to being able to feel more enjoy doing what they are doing. Because if you can't accept your condition and yourself, it's like swimming against the current. Therefore, even though it is difficult and bitter, it must still be cultivated.
"The most important concept to understand regarding acceptance is that actually this acceptance is not something that is the end goal, but is a process. So accepting this is a process that will always be active, which will always take place continuously on the things we do. face it," added Novie.
Novie further explained that in the acceptance process, someone might feel uncomfortable or behave ineffectively. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the person hasn't. accept yourself and your condition.
"Often we misunderstand acceptance, where for example we think that 'oh if I'm not enjoying it, if I'm still crying, if I'm still nagging, and so on, I guess I haven't received it yet'. I knew it was part of the acceptance journey that we took," Novie explained.
「つまり、キーワードはおそらく、私たちが行っている不快感や効果のない行動がまだ起こっているということですが、違いは、私たちがすでに意識を持っているということです. We already know that this is not something good and we deserve to continue. continuously and we make improvements even if at least only 1% in one day," he added.
