You finally reached the end of your workday, a day where you started moving from sleep to hours so you can jump to your to-do list. She continued to help him avoid wasting time eating lunch at his desk, to avoid ignoring calls from family and friends. He has managed to get rid of everything that resembles a break so that he can stay focused on the performance and success of his work. Now you are tired. And to be honest, you are also used to work.
Some of you know this and understand the urgent need with which you need personal courage to face the root and unhealthy causes of your obsessive work style. But, right now, you can only muster the mental energy you need to figure out how to quickly relax so you can do it again tomorrow.
Here are 5 workarounds to trying to reduce the stress of mental fatigue by getting used to working until you're ready to make the bold effort to change your perspective on work.
1. Take a walk around the block.
Once you turn off your computer and walk away from your desk, kick your walking shoes and head out. Walking is known as a way to relax the mind and body. In fact, research has shown that brisk walking can relieve stress and tension in the same way that aspirin relieves headaches. [1]
This is because this low-impact exercise stimulates the release of endorphins or brain chemicals that stimulate relaxation.
2 If your work addiction you with time, you're in luck.
A short 10-minute walk can give you the stress relief benefits you need to get your brain back.
Some experts recommend staying under a weighted blanket for 20 to 30 minutes. However, the duration depends on how calm and relaxed you feel. Once you smell under the ballast blanket, you can find a way to sleep without time.
However, if a single-weight blanket seems like the trick to help you relax quickly, you'll want to add music to the mix.
3. Activate the oatmeal reading.
Music is usually a source of inspiration for good vibes. If you're used to work and looking for a way to relieve internal stress caused by your intense focus on productivity, turn on your favorite music streaming service and turn on some soothing sounds. Research shows that "about 60 beats per minute of music can make your brain tune in to the beat" and can create alpha brain waves. [4] These are helpful brain views that pop up when you're comfortable.
You may be wondering what kind of music hits every minute in 60 minutes. Think about reading oatmeal. Spotify has a playlist called "60 BPM" that includes various reading songs such as "My Girl" and "My Arms". If you are not a fan of old school costumes, you will find other artists and songs on the list. You can also do your own research to create custom playlists that are instantly ready when you need them.
When choosing comfortable music to listen to, keep in mind that you don't just want to hear a song because science says so. Listening to music that doesn't appeal to you can have the opposite calming effect of what you're looking for.
4. Say cheese.
Smiling is easy, fast, and full of relaxation benefits. It just feels like you have to get rid of the strange feeling of sitting or walking with a smile on your face, opening yourself up for no reason. Research shows that a simple task like smiling can be effective in reducing the intensity of the body's stress response and lowering heart rate levels after stressful activities. [5] And all this regardless of whether you are really happy.
When you smile, your brain releases dopamine and endorphins, chemical messengers that help improve your mood. Smiling at him is a shy but effective way to move your brain to help him feel good.
As a bonus, research shows that a smile can help you look more attractive. In a study in Aberdeen, Scotland, participants found men and women who made eye contact and smiled better than those who did not. []]
If you really want to take your comfort level, try laying on the floor with a smile.
5. Lying on the ground.
If you have a hard time getting used to work, all you can think about is lying on the floor, you will be as close to comfort as you can understand. The Alexander Technique, named after the Shakespearean actor, offers a special way of lying on the floor to keep muscles tense.
If your workload is low, then you've reached a point where brisk walking appears to be more of a hassle than cost. The mind-walking process is found in many forms of Buddhism and focuses on walking with devotion. This means that each step is deliberately taken with breath, whole-body awareness, and deep gratitude. Walking carefully means keeping your body and mind calm and helping you relax in less than 10 minutes.
If you can't stop moving around a bit, try a weighted blanket once.
6. Crawl under a weighted blanket.
For many people, taking a nap to restore your body and mind after several hours of work is an antidote. However, if you are used to work, you won't be able to easily disconnect from unfinished projects and let yourself sleep.
A weighted blanket can help. This type of blanket weighs 5 to 30 pounds and is designed to help you feel comfortable while hugging comfortably. In theory, the blanket provides "pressure therapy," which helps your nervous system resolve itself and slows down your heartbeat when under pressure. [3] Pressure therapy can increase the amount of serotonin and oxytocin released in the brain, which can cause a feeling of calm.
Some experts recommend staying under a weighted blanket for 20 to 30 minutes. However, the duration depends on how calm and relaxed you feel. Once you smell under the ballast blanket, you can find a way to sleep without time.
