Making small changes can help prevent BURNOUT. One way of understanding this slow process is the concept of ALLOSTATIC LOAD.
Homeostasis is when the body stays balanced by regulating our temperature, pH, hydration, and other basic bodily functions.
Allostasis, on the other hand, is the combination of our body's RESPONSE to the things that stress us - external and internal stress, and it tries to help the brain and our body return to optimal function. However, like all things, when the load gets too high it gets broken.
