Xiao Ting is a busy clinic, where nurses practice, who often work overtime and often stay up late. Recently, a newcomer reported for duty. She not only needs to spend more time with the newcomer, but also faces the problem that her work and business volume will increase after other colleagues leave.
When Xiao Ting was at work, he felt very anxious because things were too busy. He often feels chest tightness and needs to take a deep breath. Sometimes he doesn't even have time to catch his breath. After a week or two, Xiao Ting's mood became depressed, and his sleep quality also declined. But in order to get through all this, she had to patiently tell herself, "Just live! 」
Later, the couple gradually got on the track, and after the manpower was less tense, Xiao Ting finally had a good rest. But she found that when she was on vacation, she still couldn't relax or even be happy. ...
"Doctor, I was busy a while ago. I want to say that I can have a good rest during the holiday, but I still feel nervous and I am not busy after the holiday. Why? " Xiao Ting wants to know.
I asked Xiao Ting about her busy period before, and she mentioned that her work and rest were disrupted, her sleep time was shortened, and she was nervous and unable to relax.
"Uh-huh, it sounds really hard during that time. How did you get through it? " I asked.
"I seem to have been doing things, trying to get things done. Although I feel very nervous and anxious, I just can't stop. I'm afraid to stop. Things are piling up and doing more. I can't imagine the consequences. " Xiao Ting said.
"I feel like a top and can't have a good rest." I said.
"Really, I was quite late before. During that time, because of anxiety, it became difficult to fall asleep, the sleep time became shorter, and I often woke up earlier than expected. After a whole day, I feel that my shoulders and neck are stiff, and the whole person is wound up and can't eat much. " Xiao Ting said.
"It sounds like you are dragging your tired body and constantly fighting against great work pressure." I said.
"At that time, I didn't think so much. I thought it was a temporary problem caused by the body's adaptation to stress, but now I feel that this incident seems to have a greater impact on me than I expected." Xiao Ting said thoughtfully.
Excessive compression leads to physical and mental disorders.
Modern society changes rapidly, and we often feel that our plans can't keep up with the changes. Unconsciously, we often put ourselves in a state of being chased by "affairs" and feel that we can't fall behind and must meet the expectations of the company and ourselves. Because of this sense of mission, it is easy to feel that even if the pressure is great, I feel that I have nothing to do badly, as long as I am willing to endure hardships and work hard.
Because of these "too much pressure" mentality (I think I can bear no matter how much pressure), our physical and mental state unconsciously moves towards the gray area of sub-health. When you are in this gray area, you may have symptoms of autonomic nervous disorder, such as insomnia, emotional instability, chest tightness, fatigue, lack of motivation and so on.
Unfortunately, most people are still unwilling to stop to have a good rest and recuperate when they are in sub-health state. You may even think, "I'll hold on a little longer!" "If I can't do it well, I'm finished." If I rest, it will waste time and affect the original schedule. " I even think that if I take a break, the consequences may be unimaginable. When I really stick to the end, it is possible that things will be finished, but the repressed physical and mental problems will rush out like a flood when the body feels that it can relax well.
Because the previous focus was on the work that must be completed, it naturally ignored the physical and mental condition that was already declining. When I relaxed later, I found that my physical condition had plummeted and I was at a loss.
I have encountered many cases of serious illness on the first day of vacation before. At this time, many people will feel puzzled and feel that they should be more relaxed and have a good rest after the holiday.
In fact, when you were too busy before, your physical and mental state was already overdrawn, but because of your strong willpower and sense of mission, your physical condition can still hold up when you are busy; But later, because I could relax and lost the support of strong willpower, the physical and mental problems that were destroyed before were also their lair. At this time, even if you want to adjust and relax, it may be too late. You can only repair the damaged physical and mental state first, and then start again.
How to avoid losing the buffering power of body and mind?
How to avoid losing the buffering power of body and mind? The emphasis is on the redistribution of self-life value. Because of their busy work, most people tend to get used to a work-oriented lifestyle, and there is almost only a little time left for themselves besides work. If you are a professional woman, the situation may be more serious. Besides work, your life is family. Except for family or work. In this case, many people choose to give up leisure activities outside their work or family, such as sports, interests and hobbies. Faced with the arrangement of holiday leisure activities, most people will say "I am too busy to have time", "I slept most of the holidays" and "I am tired and don't want to do anything else".
Day after day, when work or family becomes the only thing in your life that you are willing to invest in, you will unconsciously let yourself over-invest and mistakenly associate your self-worth with work and family. I feel that only by doing a good job and paying for my family can life be meaningful, so I have an inexplicable sense of mission that makes me willing to bear too much pressure; But the pressure is too great, and there is not enough decompression pipeline as a buffer, which will make us mentally and physically unbalanced, and even mistakenly think that we are not resistant to pressure.
If you can use your spare time outside of work to cultivate your leisure interest, so that you can also devote yourself to it and learn from it, get a sense of accomplishment and achieve the effect of relaxation, so that you can avoid the physical and mental imbalance caused by overwork.
It is suggested that as a professional woman who has to take care of both family and work, she can coordinate her time at home with her husband, so that she can have time and space to relax and catch her breath, instead of leaving herself in the dilemma of burning candles at both ends for a long time. Born in the world, we can't always meet the expectations of others or society, but we can give ourselves more leisure. Know how to take care of yourself, and you will have greater strength as your spiritual backing.
"Uh-huh, it seems so. Before, I had almost no channels to relieve stress, and I didn't know what I wanted to do besides work. At most, I travel or go shopping with my friends during the holidays, and my life becomes quite poor. I don't know when it started to become like this ... "Xiao Ting said sadly.
Living in a society that emphasizes work efficiency and competitiveness, inadvertently, we can easily fall into the trap of being too involved in work and losing the focus of life. But if you can plan your life well and enrich yourself, you will actually have good work efficiency!
Being born in the world can't always meet other people's expectations. Only when you know how to take care of yourself can you have greater strength as your spiritual backing.
