How Not To Bring Workplace Stress Home

Disruption of the biological clock or circadian rhythm is an occupational hazard of night shifts. As you try to ward of naturally occurring sleep, the stress causes insulin production to drop spiking your blood glucose levels. Depression, slow responses, and a lowered metabolism are consequences of not sleeping when you should. Simulate night conditions when you do sleep during the day.

Settle in a community that encourages walking. Choose jobs closer to home to reduce wasteful commuting. Socialize by meeting people face-to-face. Enroll in a club with like-minded people, or start one. Avoid financial traps like credit cards and rather focus on experiencing life and creating memories. Set up your home with fewer screens. Volunteer and spread love.

Start your day with a little self-loving. Add healthy fats, filtered water, fibre-rich veggies, and proteins to your daily to-do list. Break into a sweat. Self-improve and learn a skill. Don’t do things if you don’t want to. Work where you feel productive and set goals. Efficiency is key, not the hours you work. Get ample sleep. Prioritize what makes you happy over what pays the bills.

Regularly exercise to avoid issues with sitting all day. Stay hydrated. Eat a balanced meal such as baked beans on wholemeal toast, mushroom, and tomato or porridge with blueberries with sprinkled flax seed. Studies suggest that an average desk has more than 400 times more germs than a toilet seat! So tidy up. Clean your hands and face regularly to prevent infections.

Say No to anyone offering you any kind of junk or unhealthy food. Also, carry your own healthy packed food to work. Plan your healthy lunch and snack and add variety to avoid temptation. Next, stay away from the lunch area or kitchen whenever you can. You must also find support with people who are trying to achieve the same goal. Share ideas and work towards it.
