Tips to get rid of negative energy in the workplace

The way we view the world affects our ability to deal with daily stress

Stress at work is common to all employees, whether they are executives, company managers or craftsmen, and whatever sector they are in.

In a report published by the French newspaper "Lefigaro", Quentin Perenel offers a number of tips that will help reduce stress and fatigue at work.

The French doctor, Frederic Saldeman, who recently published a book entitled "Health is in front of you.. the old secret that will change your life," says that the health crisis, which the world is witnessing as a result of the Corona pandemic and war, increases stress levels for people, and its negative impact on physical health cannot be denied. And psychological and weaken the immune system and accelerate aging.

Employer doll

The first trick to reduce stress at work may seem ironic, but it is adopted by many in countries such as Japan, which is to buy a so-called "employer doll" and insert pins in it to relieve stress. Many online stores offer this type of doll with their own pins. Many scientific studies that have dealt with this issue have revealed the positive effects of following this trick, including reducing employee stress levels.

Saldman asserts that the "employer's doll" may represent an outlet and a way to get rid of negative energy, but it reflects an unethical behavior that reflects the high level of violence among people, and its owner has been fired from his job if his employer knew about it.

A cold bath equals a dose of endorphins

The second trick is to take a cold shower to boost your body's energy levels. "Staying 3 minutes under cold water is equivalent to taking a dose of endorphins, which helps to get rid of stress completely," says Saldeman.

The "bowl" strategy has also been shown to be as effective at relieving stress as breathing into a paper bag, a trick we often see in American movies. Inhaling your own carbon dioxide for a minute, Saldman explains, reduces your stress level immediately.

But this French doctor does not recommend the use of the paper bag, but it is enough to cover the nose and mouth with the hands.

Hugs, massages and self-talk

Hugs also help relieve stress. Several studies have shown that massage is also beneficial. Dr. Saldman recommends Alain Delon's strategy of third-person self-talk, which creates distance between the person and the stressful situation.

The author points out that the way we view the world directly affects our ability to deal with daily stress.

In this case, the more positive our outlook on life, the lower our stress level. For example, instead of convincing yourself that today was a bad day, try to remember the positive things that happened during the day.
