Do you work too much? Leaving does not help

Exhausting work 48 hours a week and more is becoming commonplace in developed countries. But studies show that such hard work increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, adversely affects family life, increases the intensity of smoking, anxiety levels, causes digestive system disorders and problems with alcohol.

Vacation does not help get rid of the problems associated with burnout at work: the positive effect of vacation lasts only 2-4 weeks . Fortunately, there are other stress relief methods.

One of the known ways to relieve stress at home is psychological detachment , that is, switching the brain to a completely opposite type of activity. It is important to completely detach from everything that resembles work: a computer, a mobile phone, etc., not to check e-mail and not read the news.

Psychologists in this situation offer a variety of activities: sports, training, volunteer work, a variety of creative hobbies, playing musical instruments, and other hobbies.

There is no single recipe for every employee, exhausted by stress, what to do in his spare time. But the main thing is that you need to psychologically renounce the working atmosphere, relax and do something that you are well versed in and are able to fully immerse yourself in this business. For example, knitting will help some of the women: it requires just so much attention that it allows you to completely forget about work.

There are ways to relieve stress that can be applied at work. Here the task is to get rid of the constant thoughts of the "unfinished business." To do this, plan and organize a working day. You need to create a realistic picture of what you can do in a day, and not start new tasks, when there is not much time left before the end of the working day.

At lunchtime it is better to leave the workplace and sit somewhere on the street, in the park.



Studies show that changing the situation during a break has a beneficial effect on the psychological state.

Micro-breaks and short-term sleep also have an effect, contributing to a surge of strength.

If you relax well during working hours, after work and on weekends, you can maintain vigor and vitality without even going on vacation.
