As the author said, the stress that leads to a series of physical and mental disorders not only comes from work, but also exists in life outside work. I have personal experience. As soon as my cell phone rings on Sunday, my heart shrinks, and I really can't get rid of cell phone phobia even when I rest. As a professor of health psychology at the University of Surrey, the author Mark Cropley is an expert who specializes in how people relax from work. Many cases in the book come from the personal experiences of people around them, supplemented by his suggestions to help readers live a more "healthy" life.
First of all, the heart will act. At first, the author left room to talk about the importance of relaxing and getting rid of work. Don't think you know everything, in fact, your knowledge is not rooted in your heart. We must make it clear firmly that work is work, leisure is leisure, and treating work as leisure is not dedication, but digging our own grave! A person who can't even enjoy leisure wholeheartedly can't enjoy the pleasure of work. People live in this world not only to make money, but also to enjoy a happy life. Don't burn yourself out, get a pile of pieces of paper that you will never use.
I am now trying the "written venting method" introduced by the author. I will write down all my feelings and thoughts for three days in a row, and it is enough to spare 20 minutes every day. Express the negative energy that can't be announced to the public at ordinary times truthfully, and you will find that it is not just venting, but also sorting out. My mind is a mess. I'll write it out and tidy it up a little. I really feel that the difficulty is not as great as it was at first. This is my personal experience. There are also effective ways to cultivate decompression hobbies, make leisure plans, and bid farewell to mobile phones at the right time, all of which are worth learning.
In fact, I think in the book, the author's central idea is to do it well when you should do it, and to play easily when you should play. This requires you to refuse the interference from the outside world, complete the task according to your own plan and schedule, and try to keep your work away from the short vacation time. Don't delay any longer. Many times, stress is actually our own fault. Also, physical exercise is very important, and communication with close friends is also very important. From now on, we should take a good look at our work and life, what is important and what should be thrown away, pack our bags and get on the road better.
After reading the book, I will apply a series of methods learned from the book to real life, and then go back to make a stress questionnaire tailored for us at the beginning. I think there will be new changes, brighter changes!
