Не выгорать, а восстанавливаться | Ернар Аккисев & Амина Алибекова | TEDxQuantum STEM Youth

Quick Overview

Elnar Akkishev and Amina Alibekova present their TEDx talk focusing on well-being, sharing personal experiences of stress and burnout, and introducing practical methods like regulating sleep, journaling, and exercise as effective tools to manage stress and improve life quality, emphasizing that these simple changes yielded significant positive results in their experimental group.

Key Points: The speakers, Elnar Akkishev (Director and English teacher) and Amina Alibekova (10th-grade student), presented on 'Well-being' at TEDx Quantum STEM School. Elnar shared his personal experience of experiencing burnout and questioning his life choices around age 38, which spurred his search for solutions. They conducted an experiment involving students, dividing them into three groups (A, B, C) based on sleep regulation adherence (Group A: 7-9 hours sleep until 21:00, journaling 2-3 minutes; Group B: Sleep regulation only; Group C: Control group, no changes). The experiment showed that Group A, which implemented all recommendations (sleep, journaling, exercise), experienced the greatest reduction in anxiety and stress, and an increase in mood. The journaling practice proved highly effective, with students reporting feeling less burdened, writing down thoughts, and realizing past worries were 'minor'. The presentation highlighted that self-care skills, such as managing stress and emotions, need to be taught from childhood, as adults often neglect these areas. The speakers concluded by thanking their collaborators, including their English teacher Alen Depoton, for their support in the project.

Context: The presentation is a TEDx talk delivered by Elnar Akkishev, a 38-year-old school director and English teacher, and Amina Alibekova, a 10th-grade student, focusing on the theme of well-being, particularly addressing the high levels of stress and potential burnout experienced by educators and possibly mirroring challenges faced by adolescents. The talk centers on practical interventions they tested on students to improve mental well-being.
