Good afternoon, my dear reader! Are you tired at work? Are you tired of listening to the claims of the authorities? Are you bored? Thinking about how to get out of work faster? Do not worry-today we will talk about how to avoid all this!
Many people live in conditions of constant overload. Home, family, work for 10-12 hours and almost no weekends - life is like a race. And it is difficult (and even scary) to "get out" of it - because career can be built only by working long and hard.
As a result, there comes an emotional burnout, which is accompanied by a sense of helplessness, lack of interest in work and life, irritability, loss of strength, energy, ideals, and meaning in their own actions. If this condition has lasted for several months, your health is in danger and it will not go away by itself!
The term Burn-out refers to the complete physical, emotional and mental exhaustion associated with prolonged stress at work. It is defined by burnout syndrome in three ways: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (self-perception disorder) and inefficacy.
This condition is inevitable for those who prioritize their careers, and family and other values are put on the back burner.
After several years of hard work, the body and psyche are no longer able to cope with the increased workload, the person becomes alienated from social life, the immune system is weakened, depression and painful syndromes appear, and alcohol and other chemical consumption increases.
All this is developing slowly, but the process of treatment takes a lot of time. According to the European Agency for Occupational Health and Safety (EU-OSHA), nearly 28% of Europeans experience psychological disorders related to occupational burnout. In Russia, this figure is 50%.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE BURNED OUT?
1. Chronic fatigue. When neither full rest, nor eight-hour sleep, nor even a relaxing massage helps - it is time to sound the alarm.
2. You are not interested in anything. Even the things you used to get high from, whether it's work, entertainment or a hobby.
3) You can't do a simple job, though it wasn't a problem before.
4. Sharp mood swings. From unjustifiably excited, irritable to restless, indifferent.
5. Your self-esteem is zero. And here you are not helped by any soul conversations or sessions of a psychologist.
6. Headaches. And painkillers do not help.
HOW TO STOP THE "RACE": TWO RULES
1. Restoration of forces
At least once a month, get yourself a "reset" and take the weekend off for two days. On Friday go to bed until 00:00 and sleep as much as you want on Saturday. After you wake up, drink a glass of water and "wake up" yourself up by charging (it is not necessary to arrange fitness marathons). Then breakfast and a walk in the fresh air is a must.
Rest at lunch (and you can even sleep). No TVs, smartphones, and work - only relax. Meditation is a great bonus. In the evening go to bed until 22:00, and the next day follows the same scheme. This will be enough to restore strength and energy.
2. Unloading from negative emotions
In notes of the smartphone periodically write down all the insults, feelings and fears. Reread it every day until you realize that these problems are no longer important to you. Over time, you will notice that the list is replenished more slowly - this is a good sign.
That's it! Thank you for your attention. It was very nice that you visited my channel and read this article! I wish you a good day and a great, cheerful mood! Bye.
