It's time for you to finish work. You kept to your schedule. You've finished your homework. You close the computer to go and rest, but when you go to bed, or try to disconnect, you don't succeed:
You think about what you have pending that you left "for later" because it is more complicated to do and the deadline is approaching.
You think about what is someone else's responsibility, but it affects you if it is not done well, and you are distressed that you have no control over the situation.
You think about the things that need to be sorted out at home, with your children, your partner, money. Haven't you realised that, even if you fulfil all your responsibilities, there is always something else to think about or worry about?
What can you do to not get overwhelmed, to disconnect your mind, and to rest not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well?
If there is a feeling that no matter how your working day has been - good, bad, intense, relaxed - you still feel the same, this tells us that this is something you can change if you change the way you interpret the situation.
Let me explain: Ask yourself every time you find yourself going around in your head, thinking about things that you are not going to solve at that moment, if something is really changing just because you are worried.
If instead of thinking about what is making you anxious or anxious, you think about something else, what would change in your environment? Exactly. Nothing would change. That is, if you deliberately choose to put worry aside, you will realise that you are the one in control.
You have the power to calm your mind and relax your body. One exercise to mark a before and after is to ACCEPT that you are worried: "okay, 🤔 I understand that you are worried" and then the magic question, "so did something in the world change or am I just giving up my peace by being worried?"followed by choosing thoughts that are in line with how I want to feel.
And just as quickly, the anguish will change and you will feel calm.
A deep rest is much more effective if you are looking to sort things out the next day. Not to mention how indispensable it is when it comes to avoiding the burnout. Now, if you feel that to get out of your burnout you need more than this, something deeper, a clearer path, fill out this form and request a session with a coach or therapist. They will put you on the right path to healing based on what you need.
