You will succeed! The effect has been proven by scientists.
It's three in the morning, and you are tossing and turning from side to side, thinking about work? Maybe your project has failed, a long-standing problem has reappeared, or you have a falling out with a colleague. Or maybe you just have so many things to do that there is no time to breathe.
In such cases, positive affirmations will come to the rescue. They will be your anchor in the sea of stress and help you solve problems. Scientists have shown that affirmations activate the brain's reward system, which also responds to delicious food or winning a competition. At the same time, painful and other unpleasant sensations weaken, and it is easier for a person to return to a state of balance.
Take advantage of this to deal with work stress. When you feel it overwhelming you, take a few deep breaths and then say the affirmation. Pronounce the words clearly and calmly. Repeat the phrase several times. Try to do this not mechanically, but being aware of every word. If you are in a public place, speaking the words in a whisper or in your head will also work.
You can come up with your own affirmations, or you can choose several that are appropriate from the list below. They will remind you of truths that you may have lost sight of for a while.
1 … Delegate does not mean fail. It's okay to ask for help.
2 … My to-do list does not define my personal value.
3 … This is my job and I do it well. But that's not all that I am.
4 … I can do anything, but I cannot do everything at the same time.
5 … Health is my top priority.
6 … If I disconnect from work for an hour and recharge, I can do more later.
7 … Rest is the same task that must be completed in order to be productive.
8 … Working hard is good, but working hard to the point where my work is no longer effective is not.
9 … It's okay to slow down and take a break. This does not mean that I give up.
10 … This is not the end of the world. Tomorrow I'll start over.
11 … The work will always increase. I can't finish it right now.
12 … Today is today, not every day will be like this.
13 … Today I can't do anything, but it's okay. Tomorrow will be a new day.
14 … I'm not alone. I have someone to turn to for help.
15 … I cannot get other people to share my expectations.
16 … My supervisor cannot read minds. But I can turn to him for support.
17 … I work to live, not live to work.
18 … It's just a job.
