Between the objectives to be reached, the meetings or the files to be completed, releasing the pressure at work is necessary to avoid stress, fatigue and low self-esteem.
Stress at work is one of the first factors of overwork that can lead to depression or burnout. Releasing the pressure you put on yourself and the race for perfection allow you to free yourself from guilt and work in better conditions.
Identify the wrong pressure
Before acting, it is necessary to identify the type of pressure which dominates and its consequences: the pressure which one puts on oneself for a long time and which can be linked to a desire for perfection and personal success; the pressure undergone by superiors, clients or colleagues, the pressure one puts on others and the positive pressure that allows projects to be successful without stress.
It is therefore bad pressure that is responsible for stress, but also for a feeling of imbalance at work, a decline in creativity or motivation. It can have negative consequences even in personal and family life.
Take action to defuse negative pressure
Taking regular breaks and taking a step back is not always enough to release the pressure. This is why it is important to put in place good habits at work and outside: adopt a balanced diet by limiting caffeine or energy drinks and sugary drinks that increase emotional tension, include moments of relaxation in your agenda, practice positive psychology, knowing your limits and learning to delegate, accepting to be imperfect and asserting yourself and not accepting everything.
Releasing the pressure at work not only increases efficiency and performance, but also maintains a sense of pleasure for yourself and others.
