How to relieve stress at work: the easiest and most effective ways to calm down and pull yourself together. How to relieve stress after work

Tips from a "tired teacher"

We teachers are tired. The amount of work being done is enormous. An endless stream of things. In addition, very often the people around us not only do not cherish our mood, but quite the contrary - they spoil it with all their might. So, we need to make it a rule to take care of our own mood ourselves. I will give just a few examples, but you yourself need to look for the most effective and acceptable for you. The main thing here, colleagues, is to use the accepted rule constantly.

Charging and labor will grind the disease!

Very well relieve stress and improve the mood of various kinds of physical exercises. Go to the pool, attend an aerobics class, run in the evening in the nearest park. Too difficult? Doesn't it suit you? Then instead of a pool - a contrast shower or a herbal bath, instead of exercising in the gym - doing exercises under a videotape and YouTube videos in your own apartment. Can't run, jump, do aerobics? Go home from work on foot at the highest possible speed for you, so that you feel the tension in all the muscles. When you arrive at your home, go up to your floor without an elevator. And jogging through the dark streets can be completely replaced by an exercise on a home exercise bike, combining sports exercises with watching your favorite TV show. After all, just pedaling for 10-30 minutes is very boring.

Do stretching while stretching comfortably on your carpet. The arms are extended above the head, the legs are extended so as to become as tall as possible, as long as possible. Lie on the carpet, arch your back. Then grab your knees with both hands and do back rolls. This is to rest our spine. Or take a ride on a two-liter bottle of mineral water. This is a great massage for our back. Ready for more? Stay on your head for a few seconds. And for lovers of unusual solutions, stretching, Pilates, yoga or belly dancing are probably suitable.

Music and Film Collection

Have a whole collection of your favorite CDs in your home. Choose music that makes you happy, calms, pacifies, or, conversely, invigorates and ignites, if this is more to your taste. Buy yourself a gift of your favorite disk for the holidays instead of the traditional fat and high-calorie cake. Be sure to collect a collection of discs with classical music for yourself. Which one? You choose. After a hard day, put such a disk. Turn down the volume: let this music be a pleasant background for you to relax and unwind after work. It is curious that many surgeons put on cassettes with classical musical fragments during operations. Here you try it.

Philological explainer

English expression: music to one's ears. Literal translation: music to someone's ears. Russian equivalent: balm for the soul.
So, dear colleagues, when you come home from work, organize a balm for your soul and music for your ears! Don't want music? Find discs of natural sounds: the sound of rain, a waterfall, birds singing in the forest, the sounds of the surf, or the rustle of leaves in the breeze.

Bring healthy laughter and humor into your life

Discs from your home collection may contain recordings of speeches by comedians and satirists, as well as the best comedy films. Pick up a collection of humorous and funny books, collections of funny stories and anecdotes and re-read them from time to time, preferably with your family.
Healthy people should laugh and smile. In a normal healthy family, laughter and jokes should sound, at least sometimes. This, by the way, is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. This will have to work hard and persistently. And we must do it too, we ourselves.

Pets

A special place in our lives is occupied by pets that we keep in the house. Get yourself someone if you really love animals. They change the atmosphere of our house for the better, filling it positive emotions and calmness. For me, for example, after a hard day's work, the effervescent singing of a domestic parrot, our universal favorite, has always had a life-giving effect. For others, perhaps a walk with the dog or the purr of a beloved cat at your side will help to disconnect from production matters.

Rest at nature

Communicating with nature often works wonders for us. But even more often, for some reason, we forget to plant flowers at our entrance, take a walk in the park, watch the flight of a bumblebee, walk barefoot on the grass, listen to the sound of rain and marvel at the beauty of nature.
Just a wish: always marvel at the beauty of nature!

daytime sleep

Or maybe you need a daily, albeit short, daytime sleep? So what's up? When you get back from work, take a 20-30 minute nap.

Make your life brighter

Light up your life and your workplace in a new way. In autumn and winter, when daylight is short, you can replace all the light bulbs in the workplace with brighter ones. And, in general, put, hang in your house a lot of different lamps. Rearrange at home and in the classroom. Arrange everything in a new way.
Get in the habit of burning your house candles. Firstly, fire burns negative information and removes bad energy. Secondly, the sight of burning candles is soothing. It is believed that we have a love for fire from the ancients, it is in our genetic memory and is passed down from generation to generation.
You can still arrange bath by candlelight. Arrange candles throughout the bathroom, light them, turn on your favorite calm music, flavor the water essential oils and immerse yourself not only in the bath, but in all this environment, in rest and relaxation.

Proper nutrition

Create in the kitchen

Arriving from work, immediately start cooking something delicious, using various dry herbs as seasonings. I do not urge you to cook a dish of stewed grasshoppers, but any seaweed salad with the addition of dried mint will master it. In general, look for your culinary delights.

clothing

Revisit your wardrobe. No dark tones! Only life-affirming colors and calm undertones - what suits you the most. Finally, order a new dress from the dressmaker.

Concerts and exhibitions

Go to the Philharmonic or any classical music concert. Go to the opera, to the ballet, to the operetta - whatever you get. Just lie back in a theater chair, relax, listen to music and that's it. Get all depressive thoughts out of your head, at least for 2-3 hours.

Cosmetics

Make yourself a mask, or rather, do them all the time, several times a week, a month. You can do a mud wrap all over the body so that the pores of our skin open up. Healing mud bags for home use are now sold all over the place. Do yourself a self-massage or visit a professional massage parlor. It is better, of course, to visit such an office once every six months, doing 10-15 sessions. Go to the hairdresser's, get your hair cut and styled. Also manicures and pedicures.

Hobby

Have a hobby, an activity that calms you, distracts you from sad thoughts, brings joy and satisfaction. Draw, knit, embroider, write poetry, do gardening or home floriculture - as long as you have a favorite pastime.

With what thoughts do we come home?

Pay special attention to the mood with which you come home from work. Don't bring production problems into your home. Leave them at the door. Be sure to take a shower, wash off the impressions of the working day. Steam your feet. After water procedures, rub your whole body with fragrant oils, this is self-massage and aromatherapy at the same time, plus an aesthetic pleasure.

Shut yourself off from everyone in the room and dance to your favorite records. Do this at least sometimes. Unusual? Unusual? Illogical? And you try! You will feel how the nervous tension goes away, the fatigue that has accumulated over a long working day is erased, and your mood improves. You can take your own child as a partner. I assure you, our own children are just wonderful dancing accomplices. By the way, your relationship will improve and you will start smiling at each other. You can play a joke on yourself during this incendiary dance. Your child will appreciate your humor and an unexpected opportunity not only to communicate with mom (dad), but also to dance and laugh. Don't be a bum! You are at home, and your working day is over.

Silence is gold

When you get home from work, just be quiet for an hour or two. Explain to your family that you have taken a vow of silence for two hours, or that your throat needs rest after six lessons. And - shut up. This is your evening psycho-diet.

Arrange a holiday

After work arrange for yourself and your family holiday just like that, for no reason. Buy a cake, or, I don't know, grilled chicken, pizza, ice cream cake - whatever you like. Set the table beautifully, tell your family and friends how lucky you are with them, how much you love and cherish them. Or go to a cafe.

Getting rid of negative thinking

Are you still very tired from work? Dissatisfied with your profession? Then leave, look for something else. But in no case do not throw out your dissatisfaction on the students. It's not the children's fault that teachers have low salaries, difficult curricula and stressful work. Your family members are not to blame for this either, so you should not throw out negativity on them either. And in general, stop looking for the guilty.

What is wrong in my life?

Spend your kind inventory own life . It is necessary to change something in it, of course, from what you can really change; something should be brought into your life, added. And we need to add and bring good healthy habits and traditions into our lives. Let's acquire and reinforce these good habits and fight relentlessly against the bad and unhealthy old ones.
Make a plan, and it's better to do it not mentally, but on paper. And act in strict accordance with the plan you have drawn up. Compose "Schedule of urgent things after work". For example:

*Monday: aerobics under a videotape followed by a hot bath with sea salt.
*Tuesday: listening to Tchaikovsky's music while lying with herbal compresses on the eyelids.
*Wednesday: unloading fruit day; green tea with honey followed by a dance to the music of your favorite pop group.
*Thursday: a little knitting, as well as an exercise bike lesson under your favorite TV show.
*Friday: visiting a beauty parlor; a visit to your best friend and a tea party with your favorite cakes (God bless them, with calories!) And an evening at home without a TV and with the phone turned off.
*Saturday: outing into nature during the day, in the evening - a family dinner with "something tasty" at a beautifully served table covered with a tablecloth.
*Sunday:… (Enter yours according to your own taste).

Everyone makes their own "Schedule of combating fatigue and stress." It doesn't matter what you put in it. It all depends on your taste and healthy habits. If only you had such a schedule. And let it be plastic, mobile and easily replaceable. Disabled hot water? Well, okay, instead of the intended herbal bath, give yourself a douche cold water followed by vigorous grinding. And after that, just lie under a warm blanket on the couch with a detective or love story or your favorite magazine in your hands. You decide. Is your best friend busy? Go and take a walk in the largest, and maybe the nearest, city park. When you were there last time? Wander along the paths and paths of the park, admire nature, watch birds, squirrels and insects; they also have their own life, full of problems. Yes, even these crumbs are full of various problems in life! And after that, go to a pizzeria and treat yourself to your favorite treat.

Every day, falling asleep, ask yourself the question, what was done today for your own rest and health. And what will I do for this tomorrow? And search, search, search.

We find time and opportunities!

Still, let's try to drop this common phrase "I can't afford it!". First, let's ask ourselves a question: have I tried to allow myself this? How many times have you actually tried? Did you do it persistently enough? And let's finally allow ourselves this, allow ourselves to live and enjoy life!

About the days of information rest, or Critical days in our lives

In modern life, we are constantly bombarded with information. And there is no end to this in the near future. We, not always realizing the harm, absorb information in huge doses, more often negative information, constantly passing it through ourselves. Meanwhile, our brain, our nervous system, critically needs rest from such an abundance and a strict dosage in order to maintain our physical and mental health.

Arrange in your life at least from time to time Days of Information Rest. By your own willpower, turn off, block the sources of information. On such a day, do not listen to any (!) programs on television and radio, do not read newspapers and magazines, do not listen to any "terrible" stories told by friends, acquaintances and colleagues. And in no case do not discuss with anyone the news of disasters and catastrophes. Shut off the outside world from yourself, or shut yourself off from it at least one day a week.

I don't like TV in general. Because it can take away my freedom, my calmness and good mood. Also because it’s not me, but television (or someone else there) who decides what kind of information to pass through my brains, what to put into my head. And this information often lowers my vitality; influences, as it were by chance, on my views and tastes. This is all an unauthorized invasion of my personal living space.

Think, next to you on your favorite sofa is the TV remote control or the remote control for you? Do not give your remote control to anyone or anything. The remote control of your own life should be controlled only by you, by yourself. Be careful with TV! Otherwise, you will pay for all this with your mental health.

We also need Critical Days in relation to telephone communications. Honestly, nothing terrible will happen, there will be no catastrophe! And you give yourself a rest. And even more so, we simply need days without a computer, and even without public transport.

It is no coincidence that the monks arranged days for themselves when they not only refused food, but also refrained from talking. Try it. Announce mentally "A hymn to silence and silence!" and glorify your ignorance. Tell yourself what you don't know latest news and events and do not want to know them. In any case, by all means act; tirelessly do and undertake at least something to protect your own nervous system from modern overloads and stresses and relieve them, if they have already happened.

The danger of work stress

Adrenaline, you are not alone among stress hormones

Yes, the stress hormone known to many adrenaline is far from the only and by no means the main hormone released into the blood during stress.

The top of the pedestal has long been occupied by such a hormone as corticoliberin. It is produced in the hypothalamus (subcortical region of the brain), triggering many endocrine reactions, because of which we freeze with fear, buzz with nervous tension, measure the room with steps and experience other signs of stress during the work process.

Corticoliberin goes side by side with another "guiding" stress hormone - adrenocorticotropic (ACTH). Roughly speaking, it communicates information to the adrenal glands that it is time to release “ordinary” stress hormones into the blood: adrenaline, norepinephrine, cortisol.

Therefore, as you can see, adrenaline, in fact, closes the hierarchy of stress hormones.
