so in the next 10 minutes I’m going to

so in the next 10 minutes I’m going to share with you some first-hand insights

share with you some first-hand insights

share with you some first-hand insights as to what is the exhaustion process

as to what is the exhaustion process

as to what is the exhaustion process what can you do to prevent it for

what can you do to prevent it for

what can you do to prevent it for yourself but also for the people around

yourself but also for the people around

yourself but also for the people around you that you care for but before we do

so that’s way too many burnouts and

so that’s way too many burnouts and let’s see what we can do to prevent them

let’s see what we can do to prevent them

let’s see what we can do to prevent them in the time that we have I’m going to

in the time that we have I’m going to

in the time that we have I’m going to keep it simple and I’m going to drive

keep it simple and I’m going to drive

keep it simple and I’m going to drive you through the exhaustion process

you through the exhaustion process

you through the exhaustion process giving you some watch points around

giving you some watch points around

giving you some watch points around three main axes that get disrupted

three main axes that get disrupted

three main axes that get disrupted during the exhaustion this is at the

during the exhaustion this is at the

during the exhaustion this is at the physical Adam mental and at the

physical Adam mental and at the

physical Adam mental and at the emotional level if you look first at the

emotional level if you look first at the

emotional level if you look first at the physical what you need to do to manage

physical what you need to do to manage

physical what you need to do to manage your physical part of the exhaustion

your physical part of the exhaustion

your physical part of the exhaustion first you need to understand how your

first you need to understand how your

first you need to understand how your nervous system works in your nervous

nervous system works in your nervous

nervous system works in your nervous system there’s a part called autonomous

system there’s a part called autonomous

system there’s a part called autonomous nervous system that constantly regulates

nervous system that constantly regulates

nervous system that constantly regulates your physiology

your physiology

your physiology it can either stimulate your body that’s

it can either stimulate your body that’s

it can either stimulate your body that’s called sympathetic activity or it can

called sympathetic activity or it can

called sympathetic activity or it can slow it down and this is called

slow it down and this is called

slow it down and this is called parasympathetic recovery and this

parasympathetic recovery and this

parasympathetic recovery and this normally is an autonomous regulation

normally is an autonomous regulation

normally is an autonomous regulation we’re not even aware of

we’re not even aware of

we’re not even aware of you can even monitor that with some

you can even monitor that with some

you can even monitor that with some small devices and I’m going to show you

small devices and I’m going to show you

small devices and I’m going to show you an example of how it looks like when

an example of how it looks like when

an example of how it looks like when this regulation works well so here is

this regulation works well so here is

this regulation works well so here is what we did we selected a person who had

what we did we selected a person who had

what we did we selected a person who had a good overall life balance and we asked

a good overall life balance and we asked

a good overall life balance and we asked her to start wearing the device about 30

her to start wearing the device about 30

her to start wearing the device about 30 minutes before bedtime and you see on

minutes before bedtime and you see on

minutes before bedtime and you see on this first graph

this first graph

this first graph the result of that monitoring of her

the result of that monitoring of her

the result of that monitoring of her nervous system during the night so in

nervous system during the night so in

nervous system during the night so in the first 30 minutes you see some red

the first 30 minutes you see some red

the first 30 minutes you see some red bars and this corresponds to the

bars and this corresponds to the

bars and this corresponds to the sympathetic activity when the person was

sympathetic activity when the person was

sympathetic activity when the person was still awake and active and when the

still awake and active and when the

still awake and active and when the person then goes to bed and falls asleep

person then goes to bed and falls asleep

person then goes to bed and falls asleep you see that some green bars pick up

you see that some green bars pick up

you see that some green bars pick up that’s around 11:00 p.m. and that’s when

that’s around 11:00 p.m. and that’s when

that’s around 11:00 p.m. and that’s when the nervous system directly switch into

the nervous system directly switch into

the nervous system directly switch into parasympathetic recovery okay that’s

parasympathetic recovery okay that’s

parasympathetic recovery okay that’s what you would normally have when the

what you would normally have when the

what you would normally have when the nervous system works well and then it

nervous system works well and then it

nervous system works well and then it stays high for the whole night

stays high for the whole night

stays high for the whole night so here the person had a full night of

so here the person had a full night of

so here the person had a full night of restorative sleep that’s a situation we

restorative sleep that’s a situation we

restorative sleep that’s a situation we would all like to have however if you

would all like to have however if you

would all like to have however if you over stimulate your nervous system

over stimulate your nervous system

over stimulate your nervous system during the day it will start to impact

during the day it will start to impact

during the day it will start to impact the quality of your recovery at night

the quality of your recovery at night

the quality of your recovery at night and that’s what you see on the next

and that’s what you see on the next

and that’s what you see on the next graph where this measurement was done

graph where this measurement was done

graph where this measurement was done with a person just after a stressful day

with a person just after a stressful day

with a person just after a stressful day and you see that during the night

and you see that during the night

and you see that during the night something unexpected happens there are

something unexpected happens there are

something unexpected happens there are some red bars that pick up in the middle

some red bars that pick up in the middle

some red bars that pick up in the middle of the night which shows that the

of the night which shows that the

of the night which shows that the nervous system has switched back into

nervous system has switched back into

nervous system has switched back into the active mode where as it should be in

the active mode where as it should be in

the active mode where as it should be in recovery mode because the person is

recovery mode because the person is

recovery mode because the person is asleep and that’s the trick is that here

asleep and that’s the trick is that here

asleep and that’s the trick is that here the person is not awake the person is

the person is not awake the person is

the person is not awake the person is asleep so it can happen when we are

asleep so it can happen when we are

asleep so it can happen when we are asleep and here what happens is that the

asleep and here what happens is that the

asleep and here what happens is that the person when she wakes up early in the

person when she wakes up early in the

person when she wakes up early in the morning she has basically lost one hour

morning she has basically lost one hour

morning she has basically lost one hour of restorative sleep without being aware

of restorative sleep without being aware

of restorative sleep without being aware of it and it becomes even worse when

of it and it becomes even worse when

of it and it becomes even worse when your stress becomes chronic and you are

your stress becomes chronic and you are

your stress becomes chronic and you are more advanced to the exhaustion process

more advanced to the exhaustion process

more advanced to the exhaustion process then your nervous system is almost kind

then your nervous system is almost kind

then your nervous system is almost kind of locked into the active mode which of

of locked into the active mode which of

of locked into the active mode which of course does not support you to recover

course does not support you to recover

course does not support you to recover and it’s a bit counterintuitive isn’t it

and it’s a bit counterintuitive isn’t it

and it’s a bit counterintuitive isn’t it because I mean here we have chronically

because I mean here we have chronically

because I mean here we have chronically fatigued and tired so all nervous system

fatigued and tired so all nervous system

fatigued and tired so all nervous system should support us and recover but it

should support us and recover but it

should support us and recover but it doesn’t happen because it has been so

doesn’t happen because it has been so

doesn’t happen because it has been so much stimulated that it’s kind of locked

much stimulated that it’s kind of locked

much stimulated that it’s kind of locked into the active mode the next thing that

into the active mode the next thing that

into the active mode the next thing that gets disrupted during the exhaustion

gets disrupted during the exhaustion

gets disrupted during the exhaustion process is at a mental level what

process is at a mental level what

process is at a mental level what happens at a mental level is that your

happens at a mental level is that your

problem is as the exhaustion progress you start to develop a biased perception

you start to develop a biased perception

you start to develop a biased perception of yourself and towards the end of the

of yourself and towards the end of the

of yourself and towards the end of the exhaustion there is so much tension in

exhaustion there is so much tension in

exhaustion there is so much tension in the self – ego axis that at some point

the self – ego axis that at some point

the self – ego axis that at some point you ego will dissociate from the self so

you ego will dissociate from the self so

you ego will dissociate from the self so you have a complete disrupter of the

you have a complete disrupter of the

you have a complete disrupter of the self – ego axis you get trapped into

self – ego axis you get trapped into

self – ego axis you get trapped into your ego and that’s the stage that is

called depersonalization it’s quite

called depersonalization it’s quite disturbing at an emotional level what

negative see that you nodding yeah well

negative see that you nodding yeah well to be honest that’s more or less how you

to be honest that’s more or less how you

to be honest that’s more or less how you look like when you are exhausted and

look like when you are exhausted and

look like when you are exhausted and when you are close to burnout and of

when you are close to burnout and of

when you are close to burnout and of course that does not support you moving

course that does not support you moving

course that does not support you moving forward so you have a pretty good

forward so you have a pretty good

forward so you have a pretty good understanding of how the exhaustion

understanding of how the exhaustion

understanding of how the exhaustion works and how the different axes get

works and how the different axes get

works and how the different axes get disrupted by now and I’m going to share

disrupted by now and I’m going to share

disrupted by now and I’m going to share some tip as to how you can manage that
