Advice from a “tired teacher”

We teachers get tired. The amount of work being done is enormous. An endless stream of different things to do. In addition, very often the people around us not only do not take care of our mood, but just the opposite - they spoil it with all their might. This means that we need to make it a rule to take care of own mood ourselves. I will give just a few examples; you need to look for the most effective and acceptable ones for you yourself. The main thing here, colleagues, is to use the accepted rule constantly.

Exercise and work will crush the disease!

Very good for relieving stress and improving mood of all kinds physical exercise. Go to the pool, attend an aerobics class, run in the evening in the nearest park. Too difficult? Doesn't this suit you? Then, instead of a swimming pool - a contrast shower or herbal bath, instead of going to the gym - doing exercises accompanied by a videotape and YouTube videos in your own apartment. Can't run, jump, or do aerobics? Walk home from work at the highest possible speed for you, so that you feel the tension in all your muscles. When you arrive at your house, go up to your floor without an elevator. And jogging through dark streets can be completely replaced by exercising on a home exercise bike by combining sport exercises while watching your favorite TV show. After all, just pedaling for 10-30 minutes is very boring.

Do some stretches while lying comfortably on your rug. The arms are extended above the head, the legs are extended so as to become as tall as possible, as long as possible. Lie on the carpet, bend over. Then grab your knees with both hands and roll on your back. This is for resting our spine. Or ride a two-liter bottle with mineral water. This is a great massage for our back. Ready for more? Stand on your head for a few seconds. And for those who like unusual solutions, stretching classes, Pilates, yoga or belly dancing are probably suitable.

Collection of music and films

Have a whole collection of your favorite CDs in your home. Choose music that pleases you, calms you, pacifies you, or, conversely, invigorates and lights you up, if that’s more to your taste. Buy your favorite CD for the holidays instead of the traditional fatty and high-calorie cake. Be sure to collect for yourself a collection of classical music CDs. Which one? The choice is yours. After working day install this disk. Turn down the volume: let this music be a pleasant background for your rest and relaxation after work. It is curious that many surgeons play cassettes with classical music fragments during operations. So you try it.

Philological explanation

English expression: music to one's ears. Literal translation: music to someone's ears. Russian equivalent: balm for the soul.
So, Dear colleagues When you come home from work, give yourself some balm for your soul and music for your ears! Don't want music? Find discs with recordings of natural sounds: the sound of rain, a waterfall, birds singing in the forest, the sounds of the sea surf or the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Bring healthy laughter and humor into your life

Discs from your home collection may contain recordings of performances by comedians and satirists, as well as the best comedy films. Pick up a collection of humorous and funny books, collections of funny stories and jokes and re-read them from time to time, preferably with your family.
Healthy people should laugh and smile. In a normal healthy family there should be laughter and jokes, at least sometimes. This, by the way, is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. You will have to work hard and persistently at this. And we must do this too, ourselves.

Pets

The pets we keep in the house occupy a special place in our lives. Get yourself one if you really love animals. They change the atmosphere of our home better side, filling it positive emotions and calmness. For example, after a hard day’s work, I was always invigorated by the luscious singing of our pet parrot, our everyone’s favorite. For others, perhaps a walk with a dog or the purring of a beloved cat at their side will help them disconnect from work.

Camping

Connecting with nature often works wonders for us. But even more often, for some reason, we forget to plant flowers at our entrance, take a walk in the park, watch the flight of a bumblebee, walk barefoot on the grass, listen to the sound of the rain and be amazed at the beauty of nature.
Just a wish: always be amazed by the beauty of nature!

Daytime nap

Or maybe you need a daily, albeit short, nap? So what's up? When you return from work, take a 20-30 minute nap.

Make your life brighter

Light up your life and yours workplace in a new way. In autumn and winter, when daylight hours are short, you can replace all the light bulbs in your home and workplace with brighter ones. And, in general, install and hang many different lamps in your home. Rearrange your home and classroom. Rearrange everything.
Get into the habit of burning houses candles. Firstly, fire burns negative information and removes bad energy. Secondly, the sight of burning candles is calming. It is believed that our love for fire comes from the ancients, it is in our genetic memory and is passed on from generation to generation.
You can still arrange for yourself bath by candlelight. Place candles throughout the bathroom, light them, turn on your favorite calm music, scent the water essential oils and immerse yourself not only in the bath, but in this entire environment, in rest and relaxation.

Proper nutrition

Get creative in the kitchen

When you get home from work, immediately start cooking something delicious, using various dry herbs as seasonings. I don’t encourage you to prepare a dish of stewed grasshoppers, but anyone can handle a seaweed salad with the addition of dried mint. In general, look for your culinary delights.

Cloth

Review your wardrobe. No dark tones! Only life-affirming colors and calm undertones - whatever suits you best. Finally, order a new outfit from the dressmaker.

Concerts and exhibitions

Go to the Philharmonic or any concert classical music. Go to the opera, ballet, operetta - whatever you like. Just lie back in a theater chair, relax, listen to the music and that's it. Get all depressive thoughts out of your head, at least for 2-3 hours.

Cosmetical tools

Make yourself a mask, or rather, do them constantly, several times a week, a month. We can do a mud wrap on our entire body to open up the pores of our skin. Bags of healing mud for home use are now sold all over the place. Give yourself a self-massage or visit a professional massage room. It is better, of course, to visit such an office once every six months, doing 10-15 sessions. Go to the hairdresser and get your hair cut and styled. And also manicure and pedicure.

Hobby

Have a hobby that calms you down, distracts you from sad thoughts, and brings joy and satisfaction. Draw, knit, embroider, write poetry, do gardening or home floriculture - as long as you have a favorite pastime.

What thoughts do we come home with?

Please pay Special attention on the mood in which you come home from work. Don't bring production problems into your home. Leave them at the door. Be sure to take a shower and wash off the impressions of the working day. Steam your feet. After water treatments, rub your entire body with aromatic oils; this is self-massage and aromatherapy at the same time, plus aesthetic pleasure.

Lock yourself away from everyone in the room and dance to your favorite records. Do this at least sometimes. Unusual? Unusual? Illogical? Try it! You will feel it leaving nervous tension, the fatigue accumulated over a long working day is erased, and your mood improves. You can take your own child as your partner. I assure you that our own children are simply wonderful dance accomplices. By the way, your relationship will improve and you will start smiling at each other. You can joke with yourself while doing this. fiery dance. Your child will appreciate your humor and the unexpected opportunity not only to communicate with mom (dad), but also to dance and laugh. Don't be a bitch! You are at home and your working day is over.

Silence is gold

When you come home from work, just be silent for an hour or two. Explain to your family that you have taken a vow of silence for two hours, or that your throat needs rest after six lessons. And - be silent. This is your evening psycho diet.

Have a party

After work, treat yourself and your family to holiday, just like that, without any reason. Buy a cake, or, I don’t know, grilled chicken, pizza, ice cream cake—whatever you like. Set the table beautifully, tell your family and friends how lucky you are to have them, how much you love and value them. Or go to a cafe.

Getting rid of negative thinking

Are you still very tired from work? Dissatisfied with your profession? Then leave, look for something else. But under no circumstances take out your dissatisfaction on your students. It's not the children's fault that teachers have low salaries and difficult learning programs and nervous work. It’s not your family’s fault either, so you shouldn’t throw out negativity on them either. And in general, stop looking for those to blame.

What's wrong in my life?

Spend some kind of inventory own life . Something needs to be changed in it, of course, from what you can really change; Something should be brought into your life, added. And we need to add and introduce good healthy habits and traditions into our lives. Let's acquire and strengthen these good habits and tirelessly fight the bad and unhealthy old ones.
Make a plan, and it’s better to do it not mentally, but on paper. And act exactly according to the plan you made. Compose “Schedule of urgent tasks after work”. For example:

*Monday: aerobics with a videotape followed by a hot bath with sea ​​salt.
*Tuesday: listening to Tchaikovsky's music while lying with herbal compresses on the eyelids.
*Wednesday: fasting fruit day; green tea with honey, followed by dancing to the music of your favorite pop group.
*Thursday: a little knitting, as well as a workout on an exercise bike while listening to your favorite TV show.
*Friday: visiting a cosmetology salon; a visit to my best friend and a tea party with my favorite cakes (God bless them, with calories!) and an evening at home without TV and with the phone turned off.
*Saturday: an outing into nature during the day, in the evening - a family dinner with “something tasty” at a beautifully set table covered with a tablecloth.
*Sunday:... (Enter your own according to your own taste).

Everyone makes their own “Schedule for combating fatigue and stress.” It doesn't matter what exactly you put into it. It all depends on your taste and healthy preferences. If only you had a similar schedule. And let it be plastic, mobile and easily replaceable. Have you turned off the hot water? Well, okay, instead of the planned herbal bath, give yourself a douche cold water followed by intense rubbing. And after that, just lie under a warm blanket on the sofa with a detective or love story or your favorite magazine in your hands. You decide. Best friend busy? Go and take a walk in the largest, or perhaps the nearest, city park. When was the last time you were there? Wander along the paths and paths of the park, admire nature, watch birds, squirrels and insects; After all, they also have their own lives, full of problems. Yes, even these little ones have a lot of different problems in their lives! And after that, go to the pizzeria and treat yourself to your favorite delicacy.

Every day, when you fall asleep, ask yourself a question, what was done today for your own relaxation and health. What will I do for this tomorrow? And search, search, search.

We find time and opportunities!

Still, let's try to discard this common phrase “I can’t afford it!” First, let’s ask ourselves: have I tried to allow myself this? How many times have you actually tried? Did you do it persistently enough? And let’s finally allow ourselves this, allow ourselves to live and enjoy life!

About days of information rest, or Critical days in our lives

IN modern life We are constantly bombarded with an avalanche of information. And there is no end in sight for this in the near future. We, not always realizing the harm, absorb information in huge doses, often negative information, constantly passing it through ourselves. Meanwhile, our brain, our nervous system critically needs rest from such abundance and a strict dosage in order to maintain our physical and mental health.

Arrange Information Rest Days in your life at least from time to time. With your own volitional effort, turn off and block the sources of information. On such a day, do not listen to any (!) programs on television or radio, do not read newspapers and magazines, do not listen to any “scary” stories told by friends, acquaintances and colleagues. And under no circumstances discuss news about disasters and catastrophes with anyone. Disable external world from yourself or disconnect from it yourself for at least one day a week.

I don't like television in general. Because it can take away from me my freedom, my peace of mind and good mood. Also because it is not me, but television (or someone else there) who decides what information to pass through my brain, what to launch into my head. And this information often reduces my vitality; influences, as if by chance, my views and tastes. This is all an unauthorized invasion of my personal living space.

Think about it: next to you on your favorite sofa is a TV remote control or a remote control for you? Do not give your remote control to anyone or anything. The control panel of your own life should be controlled only by you, yourself. Be careful with TV! Otherwise, you will pay for all this with your mental health.

We also need Critical days in relation to telephone communications. Honestly, nothing bad will happen, no disaster will happen! And you give yourself some rest. And even more so, we simply need days without a computer, and even without public transport.

It is no coincidence that the monks arranged days for themselves when they not only refused food, but also abstained from talking. Give it a try. Declare mentally “Hymn to silence and silence!” and celebrate your ignorance. Tell yourself what you don't know latest news and events and don’t want to know them. In any case, by all means act; tirelessly do and do at least something to protect your own nervous system from modern overloads and stress and relieve them if they have happened.

Alina Sergeevna Bikeeva , author of books for teachers and parents

The HeadHunter portal research service found that only 7% of workers do not experience stress in the workplace. The remaining 93% are worried one way or another. The top five most nervous areas are accounting, management, insurance, purchasing and marketing. Here you can't just get up from your desk and go for a walk to calm your nerves.

To be able to quickly calm down anywhere and anytime, you need to work in two directions: train your nervous system The problem of anxiety as a complex psychophysiological phenomenon and learn to control emotions here and now.

How to become calmer

For peace of mind at work you need nervous system who can cope with any stress or at least recover quickly.

Sleep more

There are hundreds of relaxation techniques you can learn. But if you don't sleep well, they won't help:

1. Lack of sleep affects the level of the stress hormone cortisol. The less you sleep, the more of this hormone you have.
2. When your brain doesn't have time to rest, you think slower. This means you make mistakes and provoke even more stress.
3. Constant stress is the cause of insomnia. By putting off the lights out, you are driving yourself into vicious circle: you are worried because you are not sleeping, you are not sleeping because you are worried.

Do whatever you want, but normalize your sleep. Give up part-time jobs. Set an alarm for the evening and let it ring an hour before it's time to go to bed. Turn off gadgets, take a walk, play with your pet. It will be difficult only at the beginning of the journey, then you will calm down and begin to rest.

Come up with a backup plan

Behind any stress is fear. What are we afraid of when things go wrong at work? Layoffs, loss of business, fines. In the end, the worst thing about working is the lack of money.

There is only one way to eliminate such fear - to create a safety cushion. That is, you should have an account containing an amount sufficient to last until you find new job or new project. Ideally, the money should be enough for six months. It’s not a fact that you can earn them quickly and save them. But if you haven't started yet, do it now. When you have reserve, confidence will appear.

How to relieve nervous tension at work

Stress at work must be overcome without interruption from work. Sitting at a table surrounded by colleagues or clients, calm down so that no one notices that you were worried.

Breathe deeply

Mentally count to 10 and take a deep breath, then exhale just as slowly. Repeat 12 times in a row. Problems will not disappear and psychological stress will not go away, but this way you will calm your racing heart and give the body the command: “Everything is fine, there is no danger, you can stop and breathe.” Deep breathing is preparatory stage to overcome stress.

Take notes

A good way to calm down when you're in a meeting or presentation. Write all your thoughts in a notebook, everything that comes to mind. There will be a stream of consciousness on paper. For example, in the notebook there will be lines: “Ahhhh, everything is gone, the plaster is being removed, the client is leaving, how creepy, I’ll mix everything up!” But you will see what is going on in your head, and you will understand that fear does not look creepy, but comical. In addition, notes are analogous to a conversation, only not with a friend, but with yourself. It turns out to be express psychotherapy.

And no one will be surprised if you write something down at a meeting. On the contrary, everyone will think what a great guy you are.

Do small things

Sometimes the anxiety is so strong that you don’t have the strength to do your work. The main thing is not to dwell on negative thoughts. Start doing something unrelated to work. Sort out the papers on the table. Wipe off the dust. Water the flowers on the windowsill. Wash your lunchbox. Clean your keyboard. Do something that will bring visible results and force you to shift your attention.

Use pharmacology solutions

If you don’t believe that writing and wiping the table will help you calm down, then don’t torture your body and take a sedative. You don’t have to run out for a prescription and buy powerful tranquilizers; glycine and valerian extract are great for dealing with work stress.

• Valerian- one of the most well-studied remedies for combating stress, it was used back in Ancient Greece Pharmacological characteristics of sedatives.
• Aminoacetic acid (better known as glycine)- this is a must have for everyone nervous people. An amino acid that improves brain function Prevention by glycine of stress-induced disorders of erythropoiesis and the development of anemia and reduces nervous tension, normalizes sleep, improves memory and attention Metabolism of the drug glycine.

Both of these components are contained in the drug "Meditatio" (it is not a medicine, it is a food supplement). These are lozenges with a mint flavor and a special composition. Separately, glycine and valerian are presented in many preparations, but together - only in Meditatio. The peculiarity of this cocktail is that when the tablet is dissolved in the oral cavity, the active substances quickly enter the bloodstream and begin to act (this is called high bioavailability).

Tablets that need to be taken orally must first dissolve in the stomach, enter the intestines, enter the blood and pass through the liver, where some of the active substances are destroyed. As a result, the amount of active substances decreases, and the time for the onset of the effect increases.

The frantic pace of life, rapid development new technologies, unstable social status, problems in the family - all this often causes modern man nervous tension, emotional disorders, attacks of anger, etc. If you do nothing about it, then, as you know, it will not end well. In addition to being mentally ill, the person will also develop physical health problems. Obesity, diabetes, various tumors, even malignant ones - all this can be a consequence of nervous tension and stress. In order not to trigger this complex and dangerous mechanism, a person is obliged to prevent this from happening. Therefore, today we will look at how to relieve tension and what methods can be used.
