It is recommended to take a good look at your environment, stressors, and make adjustments.
What is emotional exhaustion?
It is a state of feeling psychologically exhausted due to the continuous accumulation of stress.
You may feel powerless, or feel trapped.
Living in such a society, everyone is under pressure, big and small.
But sometimes, the pressure will greatly exceed our load, at which point the body's emergency response mechanism is triggered and adrenaline begins to soar.
It puts the brain and body in a tight state, and allows emotionally stable hormones to be consumed quickly.
At this time, the person seems to become a balloon that is constantly expanding.
At this time, even if there is an extra straw - illness, work setbacks, the balloon will be poked and the whole person will collapse.
The main source of emotional exhaustion is long-term stress at work and in life.
So how exactly is it triggered?
There are many factors, such as parenting, financial stress, working long hours or doing work you don't like, always doing the role of caring others, and so on.
The emotional exhaustion brought about by the long-term stress state makes us no longer have extra strength to cope with life, which will have a lot of impact on health.
Such as: obesity, insomnia, cold, or there is a risk of high blood pressure, premature aging and so on.
Psychologist Jayne Leonard points out that there are several types of people who are more likely to have emotional exhaustion:
1. Engage in demanding work
Occupations that require long periods of high concentration, such as programmers, medical practitioners, etc., or who also need to spend a lot of time thinking about work in their free time, are more likely to experience emotional downtime.
2. Perfectionists
They are accustomed to pursuing perfection in one or more areas, and involuntarily put themselves in high pressure, which can easily make them emotionally exhausted.
3. People who lack love for themselves
Many people put their health and emotions behind other things, and they often lack exercise and do not take good care of themselves on a daily basis.
4. Lonely people
Some people stay at home for long periods of time, even when they feel lonely, and struggle to get enough emotional support.
Studies have shown that social relationships help reduce emotional exhaustion and can make people feel better about themselves.
If you want to restore your emotional energy faster, the first thing is, of course, to reduce the loss.
Especially when you are already in a state of insufficient emotional energy, if you are still generating electricity from the outside and busy meeting the emotional needs of others, you will be like a computer with too many programs and overloaded memory, facing a crash at any time.
So, how to recover the exhausted emotions?
