Where to get energy under stress

On the work-life balance for some of us it is better not to remind: to cope with the shaft workloads that drive in its depressed amount and tight deadlines. Rush job can be a way of life for long. Sooner or later, all the constant stress depletes energy reserves. They need to be replenished, with continuous, not to give failures, not to fall apart, and generally every day to feel the rise of forces rather than decline.

Compile lists of the use of management tasks - all this helps when you need to bring things in order here and now. But for long-term results it requires a different approach. Try to follow a few proven principles. Thanks to them everyday stress stops to take away all the power.

Do not schedule things, and establish a daily routine

Anyone who has studied ballet as a child, went to the artistic circle and studied at the School of Music, he is not hearsay know what a regular practice. Scheduled to repeat not only the same steps, the same melody, but also the process. Namely - to practice.

It is much easier to do it in a clearly set time than every day anew to decide how much to work out this time. Otherwise, much more time will be spent on daily planning, than the work itself on those or other problems. So take care of that, and in adult life have schedule. To almost always up to a 99% know what your daily routine today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

The lower the uncertainty, the less wasted time.

However, unforeseen circumstances - the one remaining 1% - still worth to let into your life. Sometimes it's the weekend and holidays, which serve as an occasion for joy (and thus relieve stress). Sometimes - working late into the night and the sudden appearance of additional tasks. Either way, it brings to the daily routine a little variety.

By the way, the strict schedule also helps us to understand when the stress level increases. It is in such periods are not scheduled before things break habitual way of life. Due to this and it will be easier to identify "pockets of fire", and to cope with them, to get back to their seats.

Prioritize

Take on their shoulders more cases, telling himself that everything in time is quite real - it is ambitious, but naive.

Everyone has their own priorities in life, and they need to be put at the forefront, for them to adjust their daily routine.

When the priority of career, it means exactly what it should be and are subject to many other aspects.

To be successful in the work, much is not enough just to hold office position 8 hours or even more. At the same time, someone vital to 8 hours of sleep: they can not enough sleep, or force to work really will not. Others require regular sport in the morning: training energized after their work easier. So, these habits should be a priority. They need to be taken into account in the first place, making your schedule.

When the priority of relationship or family, respectively, everyday habits have to work just that. Then there is no stress on the fact that an important part of life for one reason or another is left without proper attention.

Know the limits

Gretchen Rubin in his book "Happiness project"Divides people into two types. There are "maximizers" who in the decision will not rest until it will consider all options and choose the most suitable among them. And there are people completely different cast. They just the first option that meets their criteria.

Sometimes even perfectionists need to suppress their identity "maximizer" and do not trouble themselves beyond measure. Especially during those times when the stress level exceeds the limit. Breaking the daily routine, when the pressure is at the limit, and the schedule is bursting at the seams, ask yourself: what would be enough to do, that life went on as usual, but do not unsettle excessive load?

Perform the tasks in priority. Indulge in a workout or a short walk to Abraham after they no longer seemed the end of the world. Isolate themselves from irritants. For example, do not look into the mail before bed.

Those who are used to squeeze out a maximum of, we must be able to stop: do enough, but no more.

Due to this and continue the energy and motivation, and willingness to resolve the new situations, - reasonably foreseeable and not.
