Life hacking: How to recover in 10 minutes after the work week
IN THE WORLD OF DAILY STRESS, FAST FOOD AND SEATED LIFE There is nothing more valuable than wellness. How to quickly get in shape, cheer up and instantly feel better, our express instruction will tell.
Whatever our professional responsibilities - meetings in different parts of the city or sedentary work, teaching German or making chairs - after workday we often get tired mentally and physically. As a result, the time intended for rest, passes in the blues and endless thoughts about the affairs. In an instant, we need to review our attitude to work, solve all domestic problems at once and return 100% health — we don’t know how to do it (and whether it is possible). But we know simple ways to temporarily disconnect from problems and ensure a quiet evening - and not necessarily only at the end of the week.
Do not dive from the threshold in the Telegram, but remove all layers of winter clothing and go to a warm shower. Having warmed up, you will relax a little and, perhaps, immediately return to life.
Just stop thinking about work. It’s not so easy, so you shouldn’t try to hammer in problems: promise yourself that you’ll take care of them tomorrow morning. Chances are that there will be nothing to decide. This is a life hacking with a beard, but rarely fails.
Master the breathing exercises. In essence, this is the same meditation: it helps to relieve stress and teaches concentration. The Zen Habits blog, which we have already talked about, clearly and clearly describes various breathing techniques and other ways to control the sometimes tedious stream of consciousness.
If you can’t stop cheating yourself, turn your attention to other things - just not those that require serious decisions. For example, the anti-stress role of creativity has long been proven. As a kind of occupational therapy is not necessary to play music or paint pictures. You can sit down for coloring under your favorite series or cook a delicious dinner - from the first minute it will become easier.
It happens that neither cooking nor eating normally have any strength, but fatigue is no reason to deplete the body even more. Let for such a case in the fridge there will always be healthy snacks: seasonal vegetables, the most common fruits like apples and bananas, nuts, bread or hummus.
Do not heal from sadness and tiredness with alcohol. There is nothing bad in a glass of wine, but if you drink, do it when your state is even and cheerful. A better solution for a hard day's evening is a leisurely yoga or a fascinating book.
