Organize your life to make sure you won't burn out - Part 2



This is the second part in the series to Organize your life to make sure you won't burn out


1. Turn down the stress


Usually we use give stress as a word a negative connotation.

But in reality stress is a physiological and emotional state and if it does not exist, the person is not able to function at all.

The right amount of stress helps the person to be at his, or hers, best.

But too much stress cripples and in long-term will cause a burn out.

Coping with the stress is knowing how to control the amount and duration of the stress, not eliminating stress for good.

The most important thing is to seriate the stress, not live in a constant stressful state.

Disconnect and connect


Find your own way to break out and disconnect from the thoughts and activities that cause you stress, both daily, weekly and yearly.

In today’s world a lot of things that stress us out are related to the technology.

Spending time without different electronic devices and communication is one of the easiest ways to disconnect and turn down our stress levels.

Another very effective way is interaction with other people.

Talk about your worries to another person, who is there, physically.

Listen to their worries, and share time together with them.

Just being close to another person can be very significant in lowering your stress levels.

Sleep


Sleep is also invaluable in turning down the stress.

People, who manage their stress well, sleep well.

Prioritize a good night’s sleep to the highest level in your own life’s order and do whatever is necessary to get enough rest.


This is a part of a on-going series about stress and burn-out, their biblical side and how to prevent them by organizing your life.
