the work just doesn&#8217;t speak and the human spirit is gradually extinguished by boredom, by not doing things with the soul.<br \/>\nI often see the body start to give in too.   <\/p>\n<p>I think it is very important to distinguish between the two, because their &#8220;cure&#8221; is different:<br \/>&#8211; the cure for the <strong>boringly extinct<\/strong> is to find your own deeper personal purpose.<br \/>\nWhether that be, esoterically speaking, getting in touch with the soul and spirit, whatever supportive tools they believe and approve of that shouldn&#8217;t be damaging to them as a creature.<br \/>&#8211; <strong>the cure for the burnout<\/strong> is to value the other aspects of life more than work and to disconnect one&#8217;s own identity from work, to create other identities besides work (e.g. parent, piper, singer, walker, dog owner, gardener, drifter, etc.). <\/p>\n<p>In order to manage something and get something done, I need to map out where I am.<br \/>\nIf I&#8217;m lost at work, I need to stop and look at where I am.<br \/>\nOnly then can I start to &#8216;heal&#8217;.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d1c388 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8d1c388\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f64baf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9f64baf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ivarraav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1726156142672-768x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-6591\" alt=\"L\u00e4bip\u00f5lemine ja igavlev kustumine on eri asjad ja vajavad erinevat &quot;ravi&quot;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ivarraav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1726156142672-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ivarraav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1726156142672-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ivarraav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1726156142672-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ivarraav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1726156142672-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/ivarraav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1726156142672-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/ivarraav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1726156142672.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each of us operates in a broader context, which includes not only personal and professional goals, but also a deeper purpose and a connection to something bigger.
