teachers."
Location: MBDOU No. 169
Time spending: April 28, 2016, 1:15 p.m.
Participants: teachers, administration.
Progress of the training:
Not finding sufficient grounds for self-respect and strengthening positive self-esteem, developing a positive attitude towards one’s own future and thus losing the meaning of life, a person tries to find it through self-realization in the professional sphere. Daily work, sometimes without breaks or days off, with constant physical and psychological stress, complicated by emotional contacts, leads to life in a state of constant stress, the accumulation of its consequences, depletion of a person’s vital energy reserve and, as a result, to serious physical illnesses (gastritis, migraines, increased blood pressure, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc.).
What factors do you think contribute to the occurrence of burnout syndrome?
The main factor is chronic stress in the workplace, which leads to:
Excessive demands and high workload
lack or lack of support from colleagues and superiors
lack of reward for work, both moral and material
inability to influence important decisions
the need to outwardly show emotions that do not correspond to real ones (the need to be empathic, polite, smiling)
working with difficult people (aggressive, with psychopathic behavior)
lack of any interests outside of work
experience of injustice
job dissatisfaction
2) The second sign is - personal detachment. A person ceases to be interested in professional activities; almost nothing evokes an emotional response in him, either positive or negative.
3) Third signs is a feeling of loss of actual effectiveness and drop in self-esteem. A person does not see prospects in his professional activity, job satisfaction decreases. Low self-esteem, guilt, depression indicate low emotional literacy.
Diagnostic procedure “Symptoms of professional burnout”
Appendix 1 (Directory of the head of a preschool institution)
After all, these processes that occur in a person and are expressed externally in the symptoms of “burnout” make it possible for us to understand what is happening to us and, based on this, decide what to do next, perhaps change our profession or try to correct the manifestation of the syndrome. And timely preventive steps can prevent, weaken or eliminate its occurrence.
The output is as follows: Change your lifestyle, change yourself!
You can improve your life only through changing your attitude towards it, through perceiving it as the most valuable gift, through wisdom, and enjoying every day, minute, and impression.
Troubles and life contradictions are the norm of life. They should not take up more space in our minds than they are worth.
I would like to quote the words of Walter Russell: “If you do something that you hate, because of hatred in the body, destructive toxins begin to be produced and as a result of this, you begin to suffer from chronic fatigue or get sick.”
You need to love everything you do. Or else, do what you can do with love.
This is what ancient Eastern wisdom says.
“Do everything with joy, do everything in the best way you know how.”
Practical exercises “Mastering self-regulation”
Exercise “Smile”
If you manage to hold it for 10-15 minutes, you will immediately feel that you have calmed down and your mood has improved. When smiling, the facial muscles create impulses that have a beneficial effect on the nervous system. Even if you are only capable of a forced smile, it will still make you feel better.
Exercise “Muscle Energy”
Before you feel relaxed, you need to tense your muscles.
Tension should be done smoothly, gradually, and relaxation should be done quickly in order to better feel the contrast.
Tension should be done while inhaling, and relaxation should be done while exhaling.
Instructions: Bend and tense the index finger of your right hand as hard as you can. Check how muscle energy is distributed, where does the tension go? Into adjacent fingers. What else? In the hand? And then it goes to the elbow, to the shoulder, to the neck. And the left hand tenses. Check.
Try to remove excess tension. Keep your finger tight, but release your neck. Release your shoulder, then your elbow. The hand needs to move freely. And the finger is tense, as before! Release any excess tension from your thumb. From the nameless... And the index finger is still tense! Relieve tension.
Exercise “Mask of Anger”
Instructions: Sitting or standing. With a slow inhalation, gradually frown your eyebrows, trying to bring them as close as possible. Hold your breath for no more than a second, and exhale, lowering your eyebrows.
Exercise “Rest”
Exercise “Mobilizing forces”
Exercise “Praise”
“Only good things happen in my life”
Part III
Target: Establishment feedback, analysis of the experience gained in the group.
Exercise: “Telegram”
Reflection: Analysis of acquired knowledge and skills.

Seminar-meeting –
"Stress in the Workplace: A Collective Challenge"
On the eve of World Occupational Safety and Health Day, on April 28, 2016, the State Public Institution “Employment Center of the Sarmanovsky District held a seminar-meeting on occupational safety issues” World Occupational Safety and Health Day under the motto “Stress in the workplace: a collective challenge.” The meeting was attended by:
First Deputy Head of the Executive Committee of Sarmanovsky, specialists of the State Public Institution “Employment Center of the Sarmanovsky District”, chief physician State Autonomous Institution "Sarmanovsky Central District Hospital", psychologist of the Sarmanovsky Gymnasium, public assistant to the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Republic in the Sarmanovsky municipal district, head of the Sarmanovsky district, representatives of the Agricultural Firm "Jalil", "Sarmanovo", "Nurkeyevo".
The theme of World Safety and Health Day 2016 is “Stress in the Workplace: A Collective Challenge”. Every year, to help prevent accidents and illnesses in workplaces around the world, International organization Labor (ILO) celebrates World Day for Safety and Health at Work. In all regions of the world, governments, trade unions, employers' organizations and occupational safety practitioners are organizing activities to World Day On April 28, celebrating World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we
draw attention to the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases at the global level, the company's goal is to draw the attention of the international community to latest trends in the field of occupational safety and on the scale of occupational injuries, occupational morbidity and mortality throughout the world.
The World Health Organization lists stress as one of the main diseases threatening human health in the 21st century. In Russia, according to analysts, every third employee experiences severe stress at least once a week, and 13% almost every day; more than 90% of workers admit that their psychological state is determined by the results of their work, and not by internal resources, such as, for example , Confidence in your strength. According to research from the insurance company St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co., problems at work lead to illness more often than any other stressors, even such as financial or family problems. Therefore, managing work-related stress is a key element in ensuring the health, safety and well-being of workers. In the workplace, you cannot afford to ignore work-related stress, which is the cause of employee productivity loss.
Stress (from English stress - “pressure”, “tension”) is understood as an emotional state that arises in response to all kinds of extreme influences.
Stress is a state of an individual that arises as a response to various extreme types of external and internal environmental influences that unbalance a person’s physical or psychological functions.
Types of stress:
Eustress - the concept has two meanings - “stress caused by positive emotions” and “mild stress that mobilizes the body.”
Distress is a negative type of stress that the body cannot cope with. It undermines human health and can lead to serious illnesses. The immune system suffers from stress.
Emotional stress is the emotional processes that accompany stress and lead to adverse changes in the body.
Psychological stress, as a type of stress, is understood differently by different authors, but many authors define it as stress caused by social factors.
Positive stress leads to long stay in a state of high spirits, which has a very beneficial effect on the body: immunity increases, diseases recede, a person feels a surge of joy, looks great and feels great.
“Negative” stress unsettles you for a long time and significantly undermines your health.
What could be a stressor?
1.Physical stressors: heat, cold, noise, fire, traffic, violence, illness, poor working conditions, etc.
2. Social stressors: social, economic and political; family; related to work, career; interpersonal stressors.
3. Family stressors: distribution of responsibilities, jealousy, differences in value systems, illness, etc.
Stages of development of a stressful state in humans:
- increasing tension; actual stress; reduction of internal tension
First (alarm stage)
Anxiety is the body's response to real or perceived aggression. This stage of stress is also called the “fight or flight” or mobilization stage.
Signs of the anxiety phase are: intermittent and rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, lump in the throat, anxiety. The pupils dilate and the muscles tense. These reactions are caused by the release of , preparing the body for immediate action.
Second (stage of resistance)
In this stage of stress, the body begins to adapt to the stress experienced. If pressure or aggression lasts for a long time, a habituation reaction occurs, allowing the body to become more resilient in this situation: in this way, the body can avoid exhaustion, since the energy consumption caused by stress is compensated.
This stage of stress is also called internal stress, a period of maladjustment. Physically, the resistance phase is characterized by fatigue, anxiety, and forgetfulness.
Third (exhaustion stage)
If the previous stages of stress are passed, and the body’s adaptive forces are not great enough, the third stage begins - the stage of exhaustion. It occurs under conditions of very long exposure to a stress factor. At this stage of tension, the body's reserve forces are exhausted and depleted. This situation may lead to illness or worsening general condition body.
Consequences of stress
Some Western experts estimate that up to 70% of diseases are associated with emotional stress. In Europe, more than a million people die every year due to stress-related disorders of the cardiovascular system.
Professional health is the ability of the human body to maintain specified compensatory and protective properties that ensure performance in its conditions.
The more pronounced they are, the greater the likelihood of extending professional longevity.
List of qualities of a person with good professional health and high resistance to stress:
1. Balance in the emotional sphere, optimism.
2. Sociability and sense of humor.
3. The ability to intelligently reduce uncertainty.
4. The ability to reward yourself for achieved results, self-esteem.
5. High adaptability to changing working conditions.
6. Developed volitional qualities: determination, endurance; internal locus of control
7. Having a hobby, a hobby that facilitates a full transition from work.
8. A harmonious combination in the “life circle of a person” of various aspects of life.
9. Ability to be creative in execution functional responsibilities, non-standard (originality) of thinking, actions and decisions leading to success.
10. The ability to restore balance, disturbed by labor, in the shortest possible time and to the most perfect extent.
11. Positive outlook on life.
12. High level of job satisfaction and the ability to control the process and working conditions.
13. The desire to find meaning in the professional activity being carried out.
If you are stressed
- Walk or do some other form of exercise for at least 20 minutes three times a week. Limit your intake of alcohol, caffeine and sugar; stop smoking! To relieve stress, try knitting, doing crossword puzzles, and reading. Hobbies will provide a short respite from the stresses of everyday life.
Techniques for professional self-preservation:
1.Implementation of the planned professional plan (professional life scenario).
2. Overcoming consciousness (that is, repressing the so-called “motives of false self-actualization” that give rise to unrealistic goals and dreams to the detriment of a person’s stable integrity).
3. Active position in professional life.
4.Readiness for constant self-change, lability of attitudes.
5.Knowledge of one’s own individuality and its use in professional life.
6. Mastering an individual system of adequate means of overcoming negative conditions.
7. Counteracting professional aging.
Benefits of workplace health promotion for employees:
- Safe and healthy environment Increased self-esteem Reduced stress Improved morale Increased job satisfaction Improved health skills Improved health
Perfect feeling of well-being
Benefits of workplace health promotion for an organization:
- Health and Safety Management Programs Positive and caring image Improved employee morale Reduced employee turnover Reduced absenteeism Increased productivity Reduced insurance costs Reduced risk of fines and litigation
Stress prevention
Gymnastics for the face - the range of emotions in a person is built from six standard masks:
· surprise, fear, anger, disgust, sadness, joy.
It is believed that with the help of these masks you can capture 700 different emotional shades on your face.
Micro-pauses
Gymnastics of vivacity: vigorously rub your ears, first back and forth, then up and down; bare your teeth and make several sharp movements with your teeth up and down; rub your cheeks; rub the wings of the nose; massage the back of your head with your fingers; make a few light movements along the eyebrows; imitating washing, easily massage the entire face;
- Selective forgetting of unpleasant moments of past stressful situations Installation to accept failure Positive assessment of experience Returning “to yourself” (find time to return to your natural state)
There are the following ways to relieve tension:
Change of position or place (stand up, sit down, go to another office, go outside);
Change of activity: listening, speaking, reading, movement, rest;
Switching attention;
Changes in muscle tension levels.
Emotional fitness
Yes, happy people– optimists!
They see life as a series of events flowing from each other; optimists understand that all events teach something.
Step 1. Stop seeing things as dead ends.
Step 2: Stop hiding your emotions
Step 3: Don't Blame Others
Step 4. Take care of your mental health
Step 5: Find Time to Relax
And I would like to end my speech with the words of the Roman philosopher Seneca: “Be able to be calm about what you cannot change.”
The only way to do outstanding work is to truly love what you do.

The theme for World Safety and Health Day 2016 was stress in the workplace. The International Health Organization lists stress as one of the leading diseases of the 21st century. According to statistics, every third employee experiences severe stress at least once a week, 13 percent - every day. More than 90 percent of employees admit that their psychological state determines their work results. This problem exists in all countries. In the United States, 20 percent of personnel losses are associated with professional neuroses and stress. In Canada, 33 percent of workers said they took time off because they felt burned out. In addition, stress often causes accidents. At events dedicated to World Day for Safety and Health at Work they will decide how to combat this problem.

Stress at work is the most important factor influencing high level morbidity, primarily cardiovascular and neuropsychic, leading to persistent and long-term disability.

Slide description:
Stress is a set of protective reactions of the body, a state of tension that arises in difficult life situations. The figure shows the influence of stress intensity on individual activity, highlighting two zones
5 slide
Slide description:
In the zone of constructive stress, an increase in its intensity leads to improvement individual level execution, in the destructive zone, an increase in intensity leads to the opposite effect. Conclusion: there is an optimal level of stress that ensures high performance. Stress is often the result of several reasons, such as psychological pressure at work, poor working conditions, and the inability to effectively organize and manage one's time. In order to overcome stress, it is necessary to identify its causes. The use of a diagram reflecting the main causes of work stress (Fig.) contributes to this.
6 slide
Slide description:
There are eight groups of causes of stress. The first group is personal reasons. Views can lead to stress emotional reactions and states, way of thinking and behavioral characteristics of a person. Stress can be caused by unrealistic expectations and overestimation of one's capabilities, and inflated demands on oneself. Sometimes managers are let down by their inability to refuse someone. Financial difficulties and poor time management also lead to stress.
7 slide
Slide description:
Interpersonal and group causes of stress include excessive demands from individuals or groups placed on a person, dependence on others, lack of respect from others, lack of opportunity to participate in decision making, etc. The source of stress is role and interpersonal conflicts.
8 slide
Slide description:
The third group of reasons is organizational. These include: inadequate management style and methods, low level of coordination joint activities, uncertainty in the area of goal setting, non-compliance of other employees with the requirements of the activity, concealment of necessary and sufficient information, lack of “corporate spirit” in the organization. Stress arises due to the lack of feedback, especially if the subordinate does not know how the manager evaluates the results of his work. High competition within the organization and the employee reaching the limit of his career are additional sources of stress.
Slide 9
Slide description:
The so-called “social” group of reasons includes unfavorable physical factors of the working environment (noise, lighting, temperature, etc.). For city residents great importance has transport fatigue, housing problems, high crime rates, etc. A group of causes of stress associated with culture: - racial, religious, sexual prejudice and discrimination; - strict expectations of a certain type of behavior from people, according to their status or position in society, infringing on their dignity, etc.
10 slide
Slide description:
The sixth group includes national reasons. Stress factors in modern Russia are economic crisis, unemployment, taxes. This group includes national disasters, war and the threat of war, etc. International causes of stress that are often encountered nowadays are related to the difficulty of understanding cultural differences and migration.
11 slide
Slide description:
The causes of stress that are characteristic of humans as a species are classified as global. Traditionally there are four global problems, which have different significance for different age groups.. Global causes include a painful perception of the aging process, the comparative insignificance of a person in the world, and the awareness of the irreversibility of death.
12 slide
Slide description:
Workers whose strength is running low are prone to constant complaints, associate their mistakes with the actions of other people, and are irritable. The alienation they experience prompts them to think about leaving their job and looking for opportunities to acquire a new profession. In addition to increasing employee turnover, attrition leads to increased absenteeism rates and decreased productivity.
Slide 13
Slide description:
In Japan, the equivalent term for exhaustion is karoshi, or sudden death at work. It is believed that its cause is overload during labor, which culminates in a heart attack or paralysis. Karoshi were once a source of pride, like hara-kiri among the samurai, but the approximately 10,000 deaths per year required preventive measures. Japanese corporations are increasingly forcing workers to take well-deserved vacations and promoting healthy eating, exercise, and stress management.
Slide 14
Slide description:
Organizations should identify both types of work that lead to early burnout and employees who exhibit symptoms of this condition. In some cases, it is possible to change the nature of work that requires high energy costs (reduce the frequency or intensity of interpersonal contacts), in others, the company can help employees learn to cope with stressful situations in the work process.
15 slide
Slide description:
Another unpleasant result of stress is moral injury, the source of which is an immediate threat to the safety of workers (natural disaster, organizational crisis, insult from a manager or loss of job). Ocean oil rig workers exposed to hurricanes, foreign workers kidnapped by terrorists, electricians who witnessed a co-worker being electrocuted have all been traumatized. Three types of moral injury are widespread - in the workplace, illness among employees who have experienced a wave of layoffs, and post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of workplace violence.
16 slide
Slide description:
The individual negative impact is often exacerbated by the lack of notice (when layoffs occur after management has issued a statement that “there will be no more layoffs”) and the lack of security felt even by highly qualified professionals (job security has quickly lost its importance for many workers, not only for individual employees). Typically, moral injury in the workplace is caused by sudden job loss and its potentially devastating impact on a worker's self-esteem. This phenomenon became widespread in the 1990s. due to a wave of staff reductions in companies, which affected more than 9 million. And most of them experienced at least a short-term “blow” to their self-esteem.
Slide 17
Slide description:
But it was not only the employees who lost their jobs during the mass layoffs who experienced stress, but also those who remained in their jobs. Some have suffered from sick employees who have experienced a wave of layoffs characterized by feelings of uncertainty, irritation, guilt and mistrust. They simultaneously felt a sense of joy at having a job and guilt over their laid-off co-workers. At the same time, the amount of work they perform has increased significantly, since they are required to carry out the tasks of their former colleagues. What about the thoughts: “Will I be next?”
18 slide
Slide description:
Another source of moral injury (and result of stress) is being present at the time of violence in the workplace. An employee who is under stress often takes actions that harm the physical health of co-workers, managers, or cause damage to company property.
Slide 19
Slide description:
Problems of stress at work affect virtually all workers, including the highest level managers. In this case, several “high-risk groups” can be identified.
20 slide
Slide description:
The first are the managers who bear the greatest responsibility. Middle-level personnel (managers) are in a constant state of stress, as they have to constantly enter into relationships with staff and clients and make decisions. Management places high demands on middle-level personnel and often has serious complaints against them.
21 slides
Slide description:
The causes of stress among lower-level employees are due to the fact that they bear the brunt of the “dirty” workload, and all faults are often blamed on them. They have few rights, but many responsibilities. In addition, there are, as a rule, almost no prospects for professional and career growth. For low-skilled workers employed in difficult and hazardous conditions, the main stress factors are the perceived harmfulness of working conditions, its severity and monotony.
22 slide
Slide description:
This syndrome was first identified in doctors, but was subsequently diagnosed in workers of many other so-called communicative professions. That is, those who, due to the nature of their official duties, are forced to communicate a lot and intensively with various people. Experts consider one of the most unresolved problems of our time to be a high probability of the formation of professional burnout syndrome in workers, as a consequence of the contradiction between the amount of physical, moral and emotional costs required in their profession every day, and the degree of satisfaction with their work and its assessment by society.

Methods for dealing with stress at work What can we do ourselves if we are not too lazy and want to reduce the level of stress at work?
"Stress in the Workplace: A Collective Challenge" .
An increasingly dynamic rhythm of life, constantly changing working conditions, growing requirements for the competence of employees, as well as the desire of the employees themselves to achieve and accomplish the maximum, force a person to continuously spin in the wheel of his responsibilities. As a result, one in three people experience workplace stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health problems.
Stress at work is a very common and harmful phenomenon. The United Nations, in its report, calls workplace stress “the plague of the twenty-first century.”
The World Health Organization lists stress as one of the main diseases threatening human health in the 21st century. An alarming indicator: more than 90% of employees admit that their psychological state is determined by the results of their work, and not by internal resources, such as, for example, self-confidence.
Causes of stress at work.
The most common causes, according to statistics, are:
Overload at work, lack of sleep, boss's leadership style and problems at home. About 60% of people, for example, are afraid of their managers, especially if their bosses are too authoritarian and do not provide any support;
Lack of encouragement, vague boundaries of responsibilities and authority also negatively affect the nervous system;
Routine work can also be a source of stress;
Lack of mutual understanding with employees leads to discomfort and tension;
Poor room lighting, noise, poor-quality ventilation, and an uncomfortable workplace can also lead to stress in an organization.
Another stress factor is the level of engagement. If a person does not like his work, if it does not arouse interest, then this leads to constant dissatisfaction and the accumulation of negative experiences.
The situation at work is aggravated by the fact that, as psychologists at the University of Hawaii have found, employees “infect” stress from each other in the same way as the flu. Bad mood one of the employees instantly spreads throughout the office. As a result, others become victims of so-called “secondary stress”. It turns out that people are able to absorb emotional fluids like sponges. Filled with other people's sensations, they begin not only to think negatively, but also to express the stress received from others using body language, changing their posture, gait and facial expression. This creates a vicious circle: stress can endlessly migrate from one employee to another.
How to avoid stress in the workplace?
First of all, it is necessary to determine the reason that led to the development of the stressful situation,
Then correctly assess your professional capabilities and internal disposition towards the position you occupy. You may have to radically reconsider your attitude towards professional responsibilities. We are not talking about dismissal, although this would be the most drastic way. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to change your job to a more interesting one, it would be the right decision to make.
Another approach is to temporarily step away from professional activities. Sometimes it is enough to go on a short vacation, and the problem will exhaust itself. However, if there are no such possibilities, the following conditions may be a solution to the problem:
- It is necessary to objectively assess the workload in the workplace and your own resources aimed at its implementation.
- The best way to eradicate stress is to be able to combine hobbies and work into a single whole. When you can find a job that you love and that brings you pleasure, you will stop thinking about stress.
- Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours a day, so you will have time to recover and be physically prepared for a new day without stress.
- Think through your schedule for the day in advance when getting ready for work. This is where a diary comes in very handy. Don't miss anything and set yourself up to do a lot of things.
- Ensure cleanliness and order in your own workplace. The location of objects should be such that it becomes possible to make the most of your working time.
- Clearly understand your own responsibilities and follow them and production instructions.
- Make it as comfortable as possible to spend the time allocated for personal needs of employees - lunch, tea or coffee breaks, smoke breaks.
- It is necessary to try as little as possible, if production needs allow, to discuss your work activities with colleagues of the same rank. For these purposes, it is better to contact your immediate supervisor, who knows exactly how to do better.
- For the potential future, it is better to be informed about the status of vacancies for a similar position in neighboring organizations. You may not have to quit, but your level of peace of mind will increase.
- Use in labor activity as much as possible modern means mass communications. These are really useful and relevant things.
- Tasty, and most importantly “correct” food and balanced nutrition, especially in a cozy atmosphere, will help eradicate stress.
- The work routine is one of the most important positive aspects of the organization of work activities, following which will not allow you to disturb the emotional calm of the employee.
- Use a change of work and “active” rest; increase your level of physical activity, walk at least 30 minutes a day; visit theater and cinema; communicating with friends and engaging in some hobby will all help overcome stress.
Good afternoon, dear colleagues!
April 28 is World Day for Safety and Health at Work. And as part of this event, the topic was proposed: Stress in the workplace: a collective challenge" Academic year approaching the end, this means that you have accumulated fatigue, so I ask everyone to relax, relax your muscles, clear your head of thoughts, take a deep breath and exhale. So here we go.
For many, my words will not be new, I am not discovering America... but sometimes the obvious, voiced from the outside, can be useful.
The topic of our meeting for Occupational Safety and Health Day is stress, emotional burnout, because... Our profession is more susceptible to these unpleasant consequences than anyone else. Yes, labor protection is not only instructions, an evacuation plan and commissions. This is also psychological hygiene, stress prevention, etc., that is, everything that helps protect a working person from work-related injuries, improves his physical and emotional health, and increases labor productivity. So, first, let's figure out what the causes of stress are. We are all very familiar with this concept, state, and experience it often.
So, there are many causes of stress: accumulated fatigue, chronic lack of sleep, conflicts, ecology, nutrition, problems at work and at home, the country's economy, bad news, envy, health problems, and poor living standards. As we see, there are many reasons and, as a result, a person who does not know how or does not want to deal with stressful situations leads himself to depression (which, by the way, is already a diagnosis). Who cares from this? To you, your family, loved ones, colleagues.
This affects your life, productivity, etc.
A person is like a vessel - what do you fill it with? That's what will pour out. And if you for a long time fill it with negativity, bad news, envy, criticism, dissatisfaction and the like, you need to find an outlet for this content.
In addition to this, we also have a house, family, household chores, pots, cleaning - this is a huge additional burden.
Accumulated stress and fatigue can lead to Syndrome Emotional Burnout(CMEA). We see the reasons on the screen.
Phase I – tension of psychological defenses of the individual
Everything seems to be normal, but emotions are muffled, the severity of feelings and experiences disappears. Everything becomes boring, your soul is empty, your favorite job does not make you happy, dissatisfaction with yourself arises and even a feeling of your own uselessness, lack of a way out.
Suddenly, supposedly for no reason, internal conflicts of the individual that were previously dormant within are activated, and a state of depression creeps in.
Phase II – resistance, (resistance) of psychological defenses
People with whom a person works begin to irritate him, especially clients and visitors. A person begins to disdain them and then almost hate them. At the same time, a “burning out” person himself cannot understand the reason for the growing wave of irritation in him.
In the resistance phase, the possibilities for working in the proposed mode are exhausted, and the human psyche begins to unconsciously change the mode, removing factors that have become stressful: sympathy, empathy, empathy for people - and, preferably, the people themselves too: the further away people are, the calmer it is.
Phase III – exhaustion
At this stage, there is a loss of professional values and health. Out of habit, the specialist still retains his respectability, but the “empty gaze” and “icy heart” are already visible. The very presence of another person nearby causes a feeling of discomfort and nausea, even to the point of actual vomiting.
In this phase, mental resources are completely exhausted, and somatization occurs. There is a high probability of heart attacks, strokes, etc.
You work a lot and hard. FOR what? To earn money, to realize yourself, to provide for your family, to build a career. It's clear. But to do this well, you need to be able to rest and gain energy and strength. We all know the wheel of life well. To live in harmony with yourself and with those around you, you need to put all aspects in order: health, family, work, material well-being, so that the wheel of life rolls smoothly and in the right direction.
We found out what it is, now HOW to deal with it! The most important thing is that you must decide for yourself. DO YOU HAVE A DREAM? What you live for, move, get up in the morning, endure all the difficulties, burn out at work. If you don't have it, you need to have it. Then life will not be meaningless, routine and gray. First, write down all your dreams, plans, desires. There will be no list, there will be no clear vision.
Start and end your day with gratitude. God. For yourself, for your loved ones.
Write down all the problems and tasks. Short-term and long-term, priority and those that can wait. Be sure to write it down, and you will see that many problems either do not exist, or they are not so terrible. Your thoughts are systematized, solutions and solutions will come.
If a work colleague annoys you, avoid meeting him. Hang something you like on the wall opposite, turn on music during recess.....close for a while, turn to the window. Do some breathing exercises, close your eyes, don’t think about anything....dream...smile
Here are some more tips on how to prevent or avoid stress:
Separate work and rest. Once a week, a month, give yourself a “do nothing” day. Even leave household chores, dishes, laundry, read a book, listen to music….
Meeting with a friend...a glass of wine, a cup of aromatic coffee...a casual conversation or discussion of problems...if this is a work colleague, no talk about work.
Going out into nature, fishing, hiking, excursion, trip.
