Do you think something terrible is going to happen while you're on vacation? Colleagues can't do it without you?
Have you ever wondered why vacations cause you more stress than relaxation? In your mind, you can already see important things piling up at work and think about how you're going to clear the pile when you return.
Our tips will make it easy for you to let yourself go on vacation and really relax, forgetting about work.
Is hypercontrol a necessity or a bad habit?
You don't trust your colleagues with your tasks because you are sure that no one will do as well as you. You worry that something will go wrong without your supervision.
Five arguments that your colleagues can handle your tasks just as well
Write out five reasons why other employees can handle your tasks. For example, Sergei is excellent at smoothing over sharp corners and persuading even the most demanding clients. Anya, thanks to her experience, will always tell him what to do.
Catastrophizing at work: how to stop making a big deal out of it
Are you afraid that being absent from work will lead to disaster? Actually, nothing global will happen because of burning projects. Write out your fears and estimate the probability of their realization.
A counterweight to any fear
Remember the spell "Ridiculus" from Harry Potter: visualize your fear in a funny way. This is one of the methods for dealing with fears. Analyze what scares you the most and find reasonable arguments to balance those fears.
Perfectionism as a path to self-destruction: how to overcome the desire for perfection
You don't have to shut down all tasks to have a fulfilling vacation. Learn to appreciate the non-ideal and avoid the titanic productivity that leads to burnout.
Hypercompensation: when work becomes the meaning of life
Hypercompensation is the desire to compensate for one's shortcomings through work. This can lead to success, but it can also lead to excessive stress and burnout. Find a work-life balance.
Take small steps
Don't try to solve all the problems at once. Start with small steps: talk to your partner about your worries, go to the doctor. Find a hobby that brings you joy, whether it's reading, painting or walking.
Vacation for work
To avoid burnout, it's important to switch gears and rest. Let yourself go on vacation so you can return to work with renewed energy. Here are some reasons to take a vacation:
- Work-life balance.
- Restore energy and increase productivity.
- Improved concentration.
- Reduced stress levels.
- Stimulating creative thinking and finding new solutions.
