Too busy pace of life, chronic fatigue, lack of time for everything, frequent stress - all this can provoke depletion of your nervous system. To prevent this from happening, you should be more attentive to the rest, solve problems in a timely manner and set realistic goals for yourself.
Necessary
- - consultation of a psychologist;
- - correct daily routine;
- - the optimal mode of work and rest.
Instructions
Step 1
Set specific goals for yourself, break large tasks into several small ones - this will make it easier for you to solve them. Praise yourself for your accomplishments, take short pauses between solving problems, during which you enjoy the results. It often happens that a person is in a race for success, profit, etc. turns into a real robot, forgetting about sleep and rest, justifying his endless work with a distant goal, which can take years to achieve.
Step 2
If you have suffered any traumatic situation, for example, a divorce, the death of a loved one, an attack on you by an intruder, etc., do not go over the details of this event in your head over and over again. Watch your thoughts, try not to allow negative images, put imaginary barriers to them.
Step 3
Noticing that destructive thoughts torment you again, try to immediately change the situation, include positive thinking. To do this, change the environment - for example, leave the apartment for a walk or be distracted by something interesting. Do something that brings you pleasure.
Step 4
If you have unresolved conflict situations, try to settle them peacefully. Remember that in the vast majority of cases, you will not lose anything by taking the first step towards reconciliation. And most importantly, break the reaction habit. Do not respond with aggression to aggression, this will only exacerbate the situation. They are angry with you - and you smile back. Say a kind word, apologize if necessary, and the situation will quickly return to normal.
Step 5
Keep in mind that there is another type of conflict that can lead you to nervous exhaustion - internal problems or discord with yourself. If you constantly engage in self-criticism and express dissatisfaction with yourself, depression is not far off. Do not make too high demands on yourself, remember that there are no perfect people, and everyone has the right to some shortcomings. Set realistic goals for yourself, do not compare yourself to more successful people, get rid of envy and condemnation of anyone, work on increasing self-esteem.
Step 6
Don't take on too many responsibilities, but rather share them with other family members. Having shouldered an unbearable burden of responsibility for everyone and everything, you will quickly overstrain in every sense of the word. Do what you have to do, but don't try to take on the worries of the whole world!
Step 7
Practice meditation, yoga, and other exercises periodically to relax and clear your mind of destructive thoughts. Prepare properly for these procedures, carry out them slowly, in a calm atmosphere.
Step 8
Make an appointment with a psychologist or psychotherapist if the situation is out of control. For example, you are tormented by unfounded fears, you do not sleep well, you have no appetite. Among other things, in such conditions people sometimes develop alcohol or drug addiction - be careful and do not succumb to this kind of temptation.
