Organize your time well
The recovery is tough. To avoid the unpleasant feeling of being underwater, you organize your time. When you arrive in the morning, you take the time to plan your tasks for the day.
At noon, we avoid at all costs having lunch in fourth gear with a sandwich in front of our computer screen because we don’t have time, we have two meetings, our emails to check …
We do not charge the mule with a list as high as a showpiece (even for the superwoman that you are). Wanting to manage everything you quickly feel stressed and on the defensive. Hello the atmosphere at work! We do things calmly, taking our time. And we learn to say no to colleagues who are accustomed to seeing in you a charitable soul. The key: a job well done and reassured colleagues.
Of course, we take breaks to reinvigorate ourselves and show off our little face in the sun. For 10 minutes, you learn to do nothing and completely relax your muscles. We take advantage of the soft rays of the sun on our face. Good for the complexion and morale!
Cultivate a positive attitude
In the morning, we wake up thinking of three positive things that will happen to us during our day: taking the bus, having lunch on the terrace, pursuing a professional project that is close to our heart … A good way to reclaim the little pleasures of everyday life.
We banish negations from our language: “I don’t want”, “I don’t think so” and other expressions that tend to worry us.
Above all, we think of the present and not of what we are going to do this weekend or in the distant future. Being aware of the present moment allows you to make the most of it.
Create a decompression chamber between work and home
You already know it but a booster shot doesn’t hurt, making the cut between the office and when you’re home is essential. At the end of the day, 10 minutes of walking on the way back is enough to make us forget our worries. We are attentive to what surrounds us, the noises of the street, the expressions of passers-by. Why not sit on the terrace of a café or on a public bench? Once through the door of your home, we have cleared our head, we are more open and attentive to those around us.
Take advantage of the virtues of microsieste
We can’t say it enough, taking five to ten minutes to take a nap or close your eyes is an excellent remedy for recharging your batteries. Between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., this is the time when we tend to doze off. The opportunity to focus on your body by breathing through your abdomen with your eyes closed: you put your hands on your stomach, which you inflate by inhaling through your nose. We then hold our breath for 5 seconds before exhaling through the mouth and nose while tucking the belly. An exercise to be repeated two or three times.
Tell yourself that work is a game …
Or how to distance yourself from conflicts and other stressful situations. You can do your job seriously while approaching things with more lightness and humor. Laughter is a powerful stress reliever. In addition, meetings where the atmosphere is more relaxed will undoubtedly be more productive!
