In the company to face the boss and subordinates, at home there are old and young, open the news soaring prices and salary lag, I am afraid that most people in the workplace “work pressure” is the workplace people often hang on the mouth of the child. A phrase. However, every day shouting “stress”, a work on the sad face is not useful, actively looking for ways to reduce stress is the best policy. I never thought that the most productive day of the week is Friday! And the lowest is Thursday! In fact, from Monday to Friday, as long as it is a working day, the workplace will face different pressures, large and small, so it is best to target decompression and improve efficiency first class!
Monday, start by beating the “Monday Syndrome”
After a weekend of fun, the thought of a long workday starting again makes you feel a little less energized. A survey shows that 80% of people are depressed when they wake up on Monday.” Monday syndrome” brought about by boredom, laziness, forgetfulness, mental unfocused …… these are really familiar to office workers, many people’s Monday is in the sleepy chaos of the past. The company’s new work plan is scheduled for this day, which has added to a certain extent to the sense of pressure, and it is easy to fall into the dilemma of “not wanting to face the work, but also worried about their own mistakes”.
How to save your Monday? Getting up early is most important! In fact, to keep yourself from resisting going to work, getting up early can be very helpful. Because tension and time have a lot to do with it, waking up early with plenty of time not only reduces anxiety, but also gives you enough mental preparation to start the new day and avoid rushing. It also leaves time for a stress-reducing breakfast, preferably including a large glass of fresh milk, eggs, beef, peanut butter and bananas, which are rich in tryptophan that boosts levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain, creating a sense of satisfaction.
Tuesday: Harness the power of meditation
The day after a workday, it’s worth giving yourself an imagery workout. If Monday is still a time of transition from rest to work, on Tuesday people are forced to face reality and immerse themselves completely in their work. A recent study shows that Tuesday at 10 a.m. is the biggest peak of work pressure during the week, people generally feel anxious, most people will give up their lunch break this day, step up work. So, at 10 o’clock when the pressure is at its peak, you can do a mental imagery training, the specific method is to find a relatively quiet place, close your eyes, first do 10-20 deep breaths, and then imagine yourself in the elevator, slowly start counting: 1 floor, 2 floors, 3 floors …… until 10 floors, and then imagine that the elevator is slowly descending, and then imagine that the elevator is slowly descending. The first thing you need to do is count down from the 10th floor to the 1st floor, so that your heart will settle down and you will be more relaxed about your work.
Wednesday: the best time to laugh
Wednesday is the lowest point of the week. Wednesday is the lowest emotional point of the week, when people receive the most information and feel the heaviest burden. Therefore, on this day, it is most important to find ways to make yourself laugh. Reading comics, jokes or reminiscing about your accomplishments are good choices. When people are depressed, they often do not see the meaning of living, and feel that the future is gray, then think about their greatest wishes have been achieved: for example, to get into the ideal college, find a good job, what awards have been won, how many leadership praise, and then think about the completion of the work after the feeling of physical and mental happiness, the next holiday or a variety of small fortune worth looking forward to, will enhance self-confidence, cheerful mood, from depression The next holiday or any number of small blessings to look forward to will boost your confidence, brighten your mood, and bring you out of your depression.
Thursday: Brighter Lights, Better Mood
Thursday Many people see Thursday as the “dark before dawn”, not only is it the day of lowest productivity, it is also the day when people feel the most tired and irritable. And it’s hard to focus on work when you’re thinking about the weekend coming up. Almost all of the bad temper accumulated in the past few days will flare up on this day. As soon as you get to work, many people will feel that something is wrong everywhere: the desk seems to be particularly cluttered, and the noise of colleagues is particularly annoying, making it impossible to breathe. The best way to reduce stress on this day is to turn all the lights in the office to the brightest. Some studies have shown that the brighter the lights, the better a person’s ability to synthesize dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain, both of which smooth out a person’s mood and make them happy.
This is for the same reason that the sunnier the place, the fewer people suffer from depression. In addition, the fatigue on Thursday is also related to the lack of oxygen in the brain. Put more cactus in the office, it can release a lot of oxygen during the day and reduce the fatigue of people. Therefore, on Thursday the day not put out of the outdoor walk, sunshine, look at the greenery, improve the sense of well-being Oh.
Friday: Don’t be tempted by a small weekend
For a dedicated employee For a dedicated employee, the closer you get to the weekend, the more you have to look at it as if it were Monday. After experiencing a depressed mood from Monday to Thursday, many people immediately become very relaxed once Friday comes. Interestingly, this is supposed to be a day of mindless work, but a survey of Chinese workplace people shows that it is instead the most productive day of the week. This is because a relaxed mood makes the brain focus more and process problems faster. And, I’m sure many people want to get the work at hand done as soon as possible and start a fun weekend without worrying.
Thus, it is recommended to schedule the most important work on Friday. However, for middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s, such a loose and tight work habit is not suitable. Most of them are experienced and maintaining the original work rhythm is most important. It’s best to look at Friday as if it were Monday in order to finish well, otherwise being too relaxed can make the start of the next week even more stressful.
Weekend: Think about next week
After a week of work, it’s finally time for a break. The company’s main goal is to provide a good solution to the problem.
Of course, there are many people who, after two days of “crazy fun” on Saturday, fall into anxiety about next week’s work over the weekend, and the more they think about it, the more irritable they get, even leading to insomnia, forming “Monday work anxiety”, do not want to end the weekend, do not want to face the new week of work. To solve this problem, it is best to set a “switch” to your brain, telling yourself that when you should play, you should go all out to play, and when you should work, you should go all out to work, so that you don’t have to think about work on Monday. If you are not sure, you can take an hour on Sunday night to think about what you should do next week and make a simple work plan.
I suggest that you don’t do too many other things in the bedroom before you go to bed and don’t think about what you should do the next day in bed. You can write down your anxiety or worry and possible solutions on a piece of paper 15 minutes before you go to bed so that you are not constantly reminded of what you should be doing. If the daytime worries accompany you to bed, then you have to tell yourself that you will deal with them again the next day. If you go to bed early on Sunday night, you’ll be well prepared for Monday.
