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.
