工作让你压力山大?10种方式为工作日减压
伸个懒腰
This is especially important if you have a sedentary job. Try lifting your legs up and stretching them for 30 seconds. This movement reduces the risk of blood clots that can result from sitting too long in one position. Another useful exercise is to put one arm behind your neck and stretch it by holding on to the elbow with the opposite arm. Switch sides and repeat.
如果你的工作性质是久坐不起类,那这一点特别重要。试着抬起你的腿,伸展30秒。这个举动可以减少因保持单一姿势太久造成的血液凝块的风险。另一种有用的练习是将手臂伸到脖子后面,用另一只手顶住肘部进行伸展。交替两手并重复。
7. Have a “Perspective Reminder”
给自己另一种视角提醒
Stress can overpower you at times, but your troubles are smaller than they seem. To remind yourself of that, keep a picture in your office—the earth taken from space, a starry night or the ocean—and look at it whenever you feel overwhelmed. Amid countless stars and the timeless crashing of waves against the shore, how important is that deadline, really?
压力有时可以压倒你,但你的烦恼并没有看上去那么多。为了提醒自己这一点,在你的办公室里摆一张图片(一张在太空里,或漫天星星的夜里,或是海洋上拍摄的地球图片),当你感到不知所措时,就看看它们。身在数不清的繁星夜空里,还有那不停歇地拍击岸边的海浪,问问自己:最后期限真的有那么重要么?
8. Plan Ahead
提前计划
When work is challenging, devote some of your own time, like weekends and evenings, to making a to-do list for the next week. Make a list, place boxes next to each item, and tick off the boxes as you get things done. You’ll avoid forgetting anything, you’ll stay focused on the job, and it’s very satisfying to tick off those boxes.
当工作异常艰巨时,抽出一些私人时间,比如周末和晚上,为下周做一个代办清单。列个清单,在每一项边上留个框框,当你完成事情后就在框框里打个勾。你就能避免遗漏要做的事,你会保持关注眼前的工作,当你在所有的框框里都打上勾时,非常让人心满意足。
9. Socialize With Colleagues
和同事聚会
Suggest a once-a-week gathering with your co-workers where you can talk about a particular work issue. Use your collective brain to figure out how to do something better, enhance productivity, or improve relationships.
建议一周和同事来一次聚会,聚会时你们可以谈谈工作上的事。结合集体的智慧想出一个将事情做得更好的方法,提高工作效率,或改善关系。
10. Remind Yourself Why
提醒自己为什么要努力
Make a display in your office to remind you of your personal life. Include pictures of your spouse, children, and pet, a photograph of yourself doing something fun, plus a memento that reminds you of a special occasion. When you feel yourself getting overwhelmed and stressed out, take five minutes and simply enjoy the display. Recall the day each picture was taken. Hold your memento and return in your memory to the day you got it.
在办公室里摆上一些东西,来时时提醒你的个人生活:可以是你的配偶、孩子和宠物的照片,也可以是你自己在做很好玩的事情的照片,再放上一个可以让你回忆起特殊场合的纪念品。当你感觉自己被工作淹没压力太大时,抽出5分钟时间,看看这些摆在办公室里的东西,回想下每张照片拍摄的日期,拿起纪念品,让自己的记忆回到当天。
