Value of life
This deficit can be not only a subjectively felt need, but also an attitude towards life, which, ultimately, can lead to burnout.
How do I understand my life? Based on this, I can develop my goals according to which I live. These settings can be from parents, or a person develops them in himself. For example: I want to achieve something. Or: I want to have three children. Become a psychologist, doctor or politician. Thus, a person for himself outlines goals that he wants to follow.

Burnout stages
Freudenberger created a scale consisting of 12 stages of burnout. The first step still looks very harmless:
At first, patients with burnout have an obsessive desire to affirm themselves (“I can do something”), maybe even in competition with others.

Joseph Clara Pilates Studio today

Life is in full swing, people pass by, not paying attention to an old house, where windows are comfortably burning, and dancers, opera singers and other artists gather in spacious halls.

These people, Pilates teachers, have come a long way just to touch the railing of the stairs that Joe went up to his studio to breathe in the air of this place. Here, on the second floor, was the studio of Joe and Clara, their modest living room. Bruce King and Hannah Sakimirda huddled in the neighborhood. Life and work were an inseparable whole for these people. There was a special world, with its own rules and regulations. This place remembers all the Pilates Elders, all of Joe’s clients, including many celebrities. This place retains the spirit of those Continue reading
