With what thought do you most often wake up on weekday mornings? The answer will probably be something like "just not to be late!" or "what time is it now ?!" or "to hand over the annual report in a month …". You are endlessly worried about work, household chores, family issues and a bunch of other problems. No time to breathe and relax. The nervous system is exhausted. Perhaps it's time to ask yourself one very simple question: why bother? As Kurt Vonnengut said, "You may be worried, but keep in mind that worrying is no more useful than chewing gum when solving an algebraic equation." So how do you get rid of this unnecessary but very obsessive state?
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to stop the flow of hectic thoughts in time. Close your eyes, or focus on a small, stationary object of neutral color, located a meter away from you. Inhale deeply and slowly through your nose, then exhale with a noise (if possible) through your mouth. Count slowly to 10. Then inhale through your nose - exhale through your mouth. This will help you calm down and concentrate. It will then be easier to make a decision or reason.
Step 2
Think positively. Your task is to think on a win / win basis. Look at everything only from a positive perspective. Daughter sick? This means that there will be a couple of days to finally be with her, at work you can take a mini-vacation and all three days drink delicious chamomile tea with mint and read fairy tales!
Step 3
Learn to mentally protect yourself from negativity. In those moments when you are insulted or scolded, it is necessary to imagine a calming landscape and concentrate on the object at the center of that landscape. Learn to perceive only information that carries a "positive charge". This does not mean that you should not take criticism. Simply, it is necessary to make it clear to others that their criticism will be taken into account in the form of good advice, and not an evil grin. The ability to protect yourself from stressful situations will significantly strengthen the nervous system. Always remember that at least two people participate in the dialogue, each of whom is equally entitled to dictate their terms of negotiations.
Step 4
Unload the brain more often. This is best done through meditation. Although, you can get by with less exotic methods: calm music, candles, soothing tea, a bath with a sequence, no telephone, TV or computer. By the way, the latter, or rather their excess, do not carry anything but stress to the nervous system. In addition, it is also better to exclude alcohol and tobacco from the diet.
