All workaholics make this barely noticeable error

Hi, I'm - Farid Karimov. And I'm a workaholic.

Stress, headaches, lack of energy. I struggled with this for years.

Recreation. Sport. Proper nutrition. It helped, but not much.

Recently, I finally realized my mistake. Its make 99% workaholics. And you do it?

workaholic Bob

Take abstract workaholic Vasya. He graft in his office as a servant in a quarry. Force is no longer!

But he's smart. Smarter than nature. Now he deceived her!

Bob starts to pump a power, coffee, chocolate, deprive themselves of sleep... Plus yourself psychologically pumps: NLP, visualization, dancing with a tambourine around the photo with a red "Ferrari"... Many motivational "guru" more offer to go into debt... Well, in short, Bob continues to bend the stick. While it does not crack, and Bob does not go... no, not in the morgue, but almost - in the hospital. Neurosis, gastritis, migraine, high blood pressure. In short, a young 20-year-old guy with a hospital card, which not everyone can boast a grandmother.

Somewhere here, as a rule, Bob feels wrong. He goes to Google and bumps, for example, on my

article about Energy Management.

"Yeah, I need regular rest to recuperate. Well, OK!"

Spitting, he thrusts in its super-dense schedule breaks, weekends and even annual leave. Well, right now, then everything will get better and. Bob will work less, but more productive.

So?

Not this way! Yes, this pressurized steam from the kettle a little beyond, and the worst is behind us. But the stress and headaches and, strangest thing, lack of energy - everything is in place.

And now, what's wrong?

A small but fatal mistake

Catch a workaholic when he returns from holiday. And ask him: "What did you do?".

He will say something like "I am relaxed. I am playing on the computer. "

At this point, take a good look at his face. You will see how it is inconvenient and embarrassing. He obviously feels guilty for their holidays. In nine cases out of ten, he quickly added something like: "Well, I'm up to this four o'clock without a break at work" or "I am now 100 500 characters translated already."

He justified!

Here it is, the main mistake! Workaholic can not rest without feeling guilty.

At worst, he was always thinking about work. He occasionally gets smart and checks mail. Or reads the news.

At best, he did not remember about the job. But the sense of guilt is constantly hanging somewhere in the subconscious. This sense of spoils the whole vacation. It does not allow him to recover in earnest.

It may be objected that ...

... on holiday inspiration often comes to work.

I agree, but not when you think about work. It illuminates normally when you are completely relaxed and your thoughts soar somewhere else. And suddenly - TYDYSCH! - illumination. In such cases, I carry a tape recorder. I recorded and continue to rest on.

How to get rid of feelings of guilt?

Change their attitude to the rest.

Rest - this is not a break between work. Rest - a reward for good work.

You have earned your vacation and should enjoy the award with a light heart.

Plus connects "samodressirovka". Work will become more desirable if you know what you get for it "sugar cube" - rest.

Leisure

And yet you will stay active.

If I play football and I run the 100-pound defender... I stupidly do not have time to worry about work! I'm all in the game, all in "flow."

But my favorite trenazhorka or walking is no longer suitable. They leave open the possibility to think about work.

in total

Only then rest a full, when:

1. You are outside the workplace.
2. You do not think about work.
3. You do not feel guilty for the rest.

This unobtrusive third point may spoil everything.

Do not forget about it!

Or maybe you're just the Japanese?

How do you relax? Do you manage to completely switch?
