Burnout

Last Thursday I was listening to the radio on my way back home, when a journalist was talking about a shocking concept, the burnout syndrome.
This is a mental and physical reaction to a repetitive action, stress or work that causes tiredness. You became exhaust. This people feel burn out in the most literal sense of term. This affects to doctors and teachers for example.

Our nowadays way of life has produced new objects, new inventions and new needs yes, it’s true. But our current lifestyle has created new diseases also. Diseases which have a direct relation with work stress, unemployment, etc.

At this point I think in the slowing down movement. Time is money; this is a very famous quote and one of the capitalism’s headers, but we can believe that this great affirmation is a fake sometimes, mainly to take care of our mental and physical health. I think that we have to consider if we spend the time the things need.
However, different problems need different solutions. When we are doing sports, and above all extreme sports, we call for speed. We like it.
We need to feel the adrenaline to feel alive occasionally. Some people need speed to feet.
Probably the best solution is to find a balance between the slow movement and the adrenaline that speed gives us.
Crises, it’s a time that make you stop, think in you environment, think in yourself (especially if your company has closed) and it can develop into an opportunity. Then, now is a good moment to think in our lifestyle, our balance and our habits and revolutionize them. Try it.

Here you have a good place to think, “Vall Fosca”. This is a metaphor for the way ahead. This photo was taken from “Aigües Tortes” National Park watching into the “Vall Fosca” valley. Enjoy it dear friends.
