Your day is gaining momentum. There's a lot to do. An impressive list of to-dos finally “crushed” the faint hope of rest, and fatigue set in before the first business call was made. Don't panic! Now we will learn to relax without compromising your business. In order to get a lot done and not get tired, you need to move during the day in spurts, dividing your time into “work-rest” intervals, and also learn a few rules. Come up with a pleasant 10-15 minute morning ritual . The successful course of the whole day depends on how you woke up, with what thoughts, and how much sleep you had. Chronic lack of sleep leads not only to decreased performance, emotional burnout, but also to the appearance of excess weight. By waking up, in anticipation of a pleasant activity or getting something you want, you stabilize your emotional state and set yourself up for a fruitful day. If the prospects of drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice, going out onto the veranda, smiling at the sun, dancing to your favorite music, etc. make you happy, then consolidate these actions as every morning. Enjoy everything you do during the day. Learn to enjoy every event and feel the “taste of the day.” The ability to slow down the pace of life and notice the nuances of what is happening will paint your life with new colors and help you conserve useful energy. Dedicate the first hour of work to solving the most difficult and lengthy matter. As long as you are full of strength and energy, you can handle any “mountain”, and knowing that you have moved one more step towards your goal will lift your spirits. This approach perfectly motivates and energizes you for the whole day. Take a break every 1-2 hours. Our brain can work actively for a maximum of 1-2 hours, then you will feel lethargy and slowdown in mental activity. This is a signal that recharging is required. 10-20 minutes will be enough to restore your strength. To avoid overearning yourself, create a “reminder” for yourself, turn on a timer or alarm clock. An hourly short-term rest is a prerequisite for full-fledged activity. Choose the opposite area for relaxation. There are three main areas of our life: emotional (feelings, experiences, communication with loved ones), intellectual (information, learning), physical (aimed at the body). If you worked in the garden (physical sphere), then for good rest, take a book (intellectual sphere) or lie in a hammock (emotional sphere), if you worked at the computer (intellectual sphere), it will be useful to take a walk (physical sphere) or chat with loved ones relatives (emotional sphere). Those. you switch your attention to an area that was not involved in your work and “pour” new energy into yourself, allowing your brain to recover. Take a break of 1 hour for proper rest. After about 4-5 hours, your body will begin to require longer rest. Irresistible drowsiness may occur, you will not be able to concentrate on the current task, you will have a desire to talk about abstract topics or drink a cup of tea. Submit to your body and do what it asks. Such pauses will allow you to be at the peak of activity during the day, maintain a balance between work and rest, and not fall into chronic fatigue syndrome. Remember! You need to rest before you get tired! If you feel tired, it means you have already pushed yourself and you will need much more time to recover. Unsubscribe from unnecessary mailings. To save energy and not waste energy, you need to review your mailing list. As a rule, most of them “clog” your mail, and you are forced to intensely concentrate your attention, “unearthing” important and necessary letters. At this time, your subconscious captures a lot of unnecessary information from the “screaming headlines” of mailings and you get tired. Be careful with your time. Do you know the feeling of exhaustion and fatigue when you have been standing in line for a long time or waiting for someone? If you are stuck in a traffic jam, in a queue, or simply in a state of waiting, then!
