The boss is not a beast
The problem is that in a stressful situation, we forget the obvious facts: we react every minute as if the first on the street, burning deadlines or capricious clients are our worst enemies. Do not let yourself pay attention to all sorts of trivia and take care of the nerve cells - it's definitely not worth sacrificing your health for nothing!
Follow what is happening to you in emotionally difficult and stressful situations. Do you feel the emptiness in your stomach? Do you feel a lump in your throat and can not squeeze out a word? Are you bending like under weight? Stop! Straighten up and stand firmly on your feet. Breathe smoothly, calmly and look straight ahead. Only when you calm down and feel more confident, go into the office to the head.
It is useful to say "no"
Scientists have proved: if a person does not know how to refuse and always agrees passively with everything, the protective functions of his body cease to function properly.
Moreover, in some cases, the effect of these mechanisms changes to the diametrically opposite, and instead of protecting the body, they destroy it. This is the so-called autoaggression phenomenon. That's why stress is considered one of the possible causes of autoimmune diseases.
If you do not learn to say "no", your body will sooner or later do it for you. Try not to extinguish negative emotions. Get rid of the negative gradually, day after day. To somehow weaken negative emotions, watch more often your favorite films or listen to pleasant music. And if you feel that they want to offend you, do not be silent and defend yourself! For your own good, do not let stress guide your life.
Faith and mountains will turn
Those of us who are sincerely smiling and optimistic about life, are less likely to encounter difficulties. American scientists analyzed the health status of different women immediately after unpleasant situations and nervous experiences. It turned out that when stress affects human behavior and immunity decreases, health deteriorates. Women, who, despite everything, believed in their victory and fought for it, felt better than those who took a passive position.
The ability to see the good in the bad must be nurtured in oneself. If in a difficult situation you have a thought: "All the same I have no chance", be sure to look at the problem differently and, most importantly, change your attitude towards it.
Need gateway
Scientists at the University of Illinois claim that the most stressful hours of working women are between 17:30 and 19:30. It is at this time, although the work day is already over, we are plunging into a world of routine and exhausting obligations.
Try to make a break between work and home (experts call this time an "emotional gateway"). Leave at least 15 minutes for a walk in the park, chatting with a girlfriend or going to your favorite store.
Bypass the pit
Therapists say that in the middle of the working day, each of us, as a rule, falls into the "energy hole". At this point, it is more difficult for us to concentrate our attention, we feel tired, and our eyes, as if they close themselves. As a result, the tired brain does not perceive the flow of new information and does not cope with new tasks.
If you momentarily stop during the "energy hole" period, you will feel that, for example, you are thirsty or that you need to ventilate the room. If you ignore the need for your body in a five-minute rest and do not give him the opportunity to recover, the situation will only worsen, and you will become more tired.
Say: "I do not know how"
Scientists say that timid and timid people tend to be more loaded with work than extroverts. The second is easier and faster to admit that they do not know something or do not know how, and always turn for help.
If you say: "I do not know how" or "I do not understand this", it does not mean that you are an incompetent specialist. Of course, on the condition that you do not three times a day ask the same question, for example, how to reboot the computer. Remember: constantly solving all the questions yourself, you complicate your life, which means - you yourself are driving yourself into a state of stress.
Unresolved disputes
If all the morning you found out the relationship with a partner, but you never found a compromise, most likely, it will negatively affect your mood throughout the day.
What to do to spend a day without stress, if it started with a dispute? Write out all your experiences on the leaf. Ask yourself: Do you want to immediately resolve this question, or can it wait until evening? If you choose the first option, take the initiative and write an e-mail to your opponent or call him. If not - postpone all the questions until the evening.
Colors around you
The shade of walls or things in the workplace can both raise blood pressure and lower. Colors such as green and blue, soothe, and red and orange - excite. But there is no worse color that irritates you, which you all have to constantly see.
Neutral, but warm colors, terracotta or sand tints contribute to a good work. Of course, the boss will not recolour the entire room for you. Therefore, to cheer up, decorate the desktop with flowers, wear the clothes of those shades that you like.
Try to protect yourself from the negative attitude of other people. But if you are overwhelmed with negative emotions, take a break, find a quiet corner and rest. Put one palm on the solar plexus area. Breathe deeply. Breathe the air through your nose, and breathe out your mouth. In a moment you will calm down.
Organic chaos
The order and clear planning of affairs helps to protect themselves from stress. Write down the diary in this order in order that the most important were at the top of the page. At the bottom write down those questions, the decision of which will not greatly affect the course of your work. If today you did not manage to do a few things, do not postpone them the next day. Just write them on a separate sheet and attach to your computer monitor (for example, buy a gift to your brother or pay utility bills). This approach to doing work will greatly facilitate your life.
When you are experiencing stress and emotional stress, your body takes on all the negative. The pulse accelerates (you feel how much the heart beats), and the muscles are tense. Your body seems to be preparing to repel an invisible blow. Moreover, it becomes less sensitive to pain, the number of red blood cells increases (blood cells that transport oxygen to organs and systems) and blood coagulability increases (to prevent its loss in case of injury). The changes described above are the result solely of your experiences. Such a mobilization of the body would be necessary for self-preservation in a threatening situation.
