The pace of modern life is accelerating noticeably. Race stimulates factors such as stress, crisis, panic, and fear. How not to succumb to negativity? Emotional control?
The pace of modern life is noticeably accelerating. Just thinking that tomorrow is Monday, we understand that it's time to plan the weekend. Simultaneously with the speed of the changing processes around us, so does the urgency of our own affairs. In turn, the "race" stimulates factors such as stress, crisis, panic, fear, which cause a person to feel confused and unstable.
Panic - this is a sudden confusion, a manifestation of fear in the presence of real or imaginary danger.
A crisis - this is a turning point, a difficult, difficult situation.
Stress - This is a state of increased nervous tension caused by any strong influence. Stress is a defensive reaction designed to tune the body to independently overcome the aggression of the external environment.
Fear - this is a state of strong anxiety, fear, anxiety, emotional excitement from impending or expected danger.
Well, who of us, at least once a week, at the workplace, is not in a state of confusion?
Unstable mental states are associated with many factors. For example, with responsibility, with the number of duties performed, and, of course, with the type of activity. Fears are different: fear of a blank sheet of paper, fear of public speaking, fear of negotiations, fear of passing exams, fear of not appearing as good as you really are.
Here are some ways to maintain control over your emotional state:
1. Oddly enough it sounds, but in order to calm down and stop being in a state of panic, you need to strain and thereby push the tension out of yourself. If the moment permits - shout, beat a nearby (or already lying) chair, if not, then beat someone imaginary (your imagination itself will tell you who exactly).
2. Try to hold your breath. After a couple of minutes, you will relax - and your anxiety will melt.
3. A good way to avoid panic is to breathe freely. Sit or make yourself comfortable. Relax. Breathe freely: inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth. Breathe in your belly. Close your eyes and imagine things that are pleasant to you. Listen to the ticking of a clock or, if possible, soothing, calm music.
4. A more aggressive way to deal with anxiety or fear is with a grin! Bare your teeth so that the strength and tension of your grin leaves no room for fear. Do this ten times, and you will feel much better.
5. You can also chew gum or suck on candy - these are our natural reflexes that automatically repel fear. Chew on fear - and spit it out!
6. Another way to get rid of negative emotions: to hiss, at least for half a minute. Loud hiss relieves fear and anxiety!
7. You can also pinch yourself, clap your hands, rub your ears and rub your knee - in general, switch yourself and your body to other sensations.
eight. Well, humor saves many! Keep a funny photo, picture, or anecdote in your workplace. Smiling at pleasant and funny moments, you can also show your language to fear - it also helps!
9. Try to look at yourself "from the outside", "through the eyes of others." Make sure you look great, that you are doing well - this will give you more confidence in yourself and in your actions!
Well, now that we have calmed down and do not experience any more negative emotions, we can proceed with solving urgent problems with sobriety and in a good mood.
