Physical and intellectual work, sooner or later, leads to professional exhaustion.

By Chirila AdrianPublished 2 years ago 4 min read

Physical and intellectual work, sooner or later, leads to professional burnout, characterized by sleep disturbances, fatigue, decreased professional performance, poor interaction with others and lack of zest for life. And the worst is when the stress creeps into your own home. It's hard to take care of your family and live the happiness of family life to the fullest when you only think about work. That's why today we're discussing how you can keep stress out of your home by protecting your home from this trojan horse.

COMBATING STRESS AT THE WORKPLACE

An effective way to fight stress is morning and evening rituals. In order not to start the morning on the wrong side, you have to prepare from the evening. Imagine what an ideal start to your day would look like for you and put the plan into action.

A morning cup of coffee? Have you prepared your grain stocks ahead of time? What about lunch for tomorrow? Maybe you want to start the day with classical music or, on the contrary, with a dose of energizing metal? Have you prepared your outfit in which you know you will feel good?

The task is this: to create all the necessary conditions for the best possible mood and well-being before leaving the house, because if you wake up in the morning and find that your favorite dress is stained or the shirt is not pressed properly, then you will be very upset and the morning will turn into a real ordeal. Fewer (unpleasant) surprises, less stress.

A STRESS-FREE HOME: HOME DECORATING TIPS

The visual aspect and the way the space in your home is organized is essential for combating stress. Home should be a place where you feel comfortable, right? And if you lost the remote control among the piles of things, you might get sick.

Organize the space in your home and you will not only turn your home into a pleasant and comfortable place where you want to come back to after work, but you will also reduce occupational stress

By the way, the colors that surround you have a great influence on your emotional comfort. Bright colors are irritating and stressful for the eyes. Therefore, we suggest you choose neutral, pastel tones. The most soothing colors are: light blue, light gray, turquoise, light pink, beige, light green and lavender.

REDUCTION OF STRESS IN YOUR LEISURE TIME

Turn to outsourced services to get rid of household chores. It's not a joke. We know that not everyone can afford to spend the extra money to outsource household chores, but if they're taking up a lot of your time, energy, and ruining your mood that haven't changed for months, you need to find a way to fix it , especially if you feel like you don't have free time for family and friends.Of course, the business model only works if your time is more valuable, better paid than the respective services. Calling a cleaning company is not at all shameful, you don't have to carry every burden on your own shoulders.

CASSEROLE LUNCH TO REDUCE WORK STRESS

To spend less time in front of the stove and be less stressed about preparing lunch for work or doing the shopping, we suggest that you prepare the food ahead of time, for a few days in advance, and then heat it up.

Choose the product you like the most, for example, chicken breast. Prepare a large amount of chicken breast and use it in different dishes throughout the week: caesar salad, chicken pasta, sandwiches, etc. In addition, when you have a ready-made sandwich, there is no need to turn to fast food, which has a negative impact on physical and emotional health.

PRACTICE SPORTS TO REDUCE STRESS

Sport is one of the best remedies for combating stress. If you have enough money you can go to the gym, and if not, or if it takes too much time, grab a pair of sneakers and go jogging in the park. Don't hesitate to share your results on social media, as social interaction will help you stay focused on your workouts even when you're too lazy to get out of bed.

MEDITATION TECHNIQUES FOR ANXIETY

Find and equip a quiet corner in your home, which you can turn into a suitable place to meditate. Choose the meditation technique that suits you. As with exercise, you need to practice meditation regularly to make it a habit and get rid of anxiety and stress forever.

LEAVE THE STRESS AT WORK

Work must be completed at the office. Being online 24/7 is an unhealthy approach to work, no matter how much you love your profession, role or business. Learn to work on a schedule and stop dwelling on work-related issues after you leave the office. Your home must be a neutral zone in this regard.

BETTER SLEEP – LESS STRESS

Phone, tablet, TV or laptop screens prevent you from falling asleep. Exposure to blue light emitted by screens disrupts the body's biological clock and causes sleep disturbances. To improve the quality of your sleep and reduce stress, you need to get used to falling asleep in the dark. Buy an alarm clock and leave your phone in the next room.
