Otherwise, stress can arise that prevents educators from being motivated in their teaching practice, manifested by burnout, which contributes to a harmful work environment, not only for teachers but also for students. This article is therefore of great importance because it covers different aspects such as increasing the likelihood of completing work tasks, improving interpersonal relationships, achieving emotional balance, and improving the ability to solve problems.
