Clear signs of work fatigue, what are some good ways to relax after work?

Finding Your Own Hobbies

This is not difficult, just find a hobby that you really like. The specific hobby varies from person to person.

But as long as you are doing something that can fully engage you, making you forget about everything else.

For some people, it may be food. No matter how tired they are from work, as long as they can have a delicious meal and a couple of sips of wine after work, all their worries are forgotten.

For some people, it may be exercising. Among my friends, there are those who are addicted to running. As long as the weather allows, they would go for a run even late at night, and they would feel refreshed after finishing a run.

For some people, it may be reading. After work, they would curl up on the couch and read a few good books, immersing themselves in the world of literature, giving their spiritual world a great boost.

For some people, it may be binge-watching dramas. After work, they would lie in bed, prop up their tablet, and watch a few episodes of TV dramas. They are attracted by the ups and downs of the characters' lives, briefly escaping from their own world.

For some people, they may prefer socializing. After work, they would either hang out with friends at city walk or meet strangers at a bar. In any case, they draw nourishment from conversations with others.

I have all kinds of people around me, such as those who enjoy tea ceremonies, fishing, hanging out at bars, watching plays, playing ball, and so on.

The form doesn’t matter. As long as someone has a hobby that they can fully immerse themselves in, it can divert their attention and greatly relieve their stress.

The most taboo thing is to have no other hobbies except for work and still think about work after work.

These people are the most likely to achieve success in their jobs, but they are also the most susceptible to setbacks and frustrations at work. A single mishap can lead to depression.

As a working person, it is important to have hobbies outside of work and have some fun, which is more conducive to long-term and sustainable development in the workplace.

Ways to Regulate Emotions

Young people may not know how to relieve feelings of depression, especially when faced with behavior that they cannot understand. They may be completely perplexed.

But Huang Laoshi has also gone through youth. As a teacher who has been working for more than ten years, I have summarized a few methods that I think can help regulate emotions.

First, drinking alcohol

Drinking alcohol is not about excessive drinking, please remember that.

At the same time, do not drink and drive, and do not drink alcohol while driving. Remember, remember, remember!

Of course, when you are drinking, you only need to invite a few close friends. Don’t invite others, because when there are too many people, you will become irritated and uncomfortable. So please remember this.

Every time I encounter something vexing at work, I always invite a few close friends and go to a local open-air food stall near my home to have a good chat and drink. After all, what brothers need is a space to talk about the frustrations encountered at work, curse those who are rubbish together, and relax a little. Then, you can become happier and more joyful.
Of course, your friends may also have various troubles, and they will talk about them too, venting these negative emotions. By doing this, everyone becomes happy and everything can return to normal. Life can go on.
However, some people are not talkative, such as a friend of mine. His child refuses to study because his child thinks studying is too hard. He doesn’t want to make an effort or spend time and energy. He doesn’t want this or that, he just wants to lie down and do nothing! His child is already in high school, and he can’t hit or scold him because that would have a counterproductive effect. So, he comes to drink with us, venting his frustrations, allowing himself to live better and have a calmer state of mind.

Second, exercising

Jogging has always been a sport I enjoy. There is a playground at my school, so whenever I am feeling upset, I like to go for a run. Running continuously allows all the frustrations inside me to be released, and my mood becomes better and better.

You know that exercise releases dopamine in the brain, making people feel happy and joyful.
Just like when you play basketball and score, you become happy because you successfully put the ball in the hoop. Everything becomes so happy, so real. Life is this happy.
Perhaps when you are playing sports and competing with others, winning can also improve your mood. Because exercise brings happiness and joy.
Maybe during the process of exercising, you learn new techniques and become better at playing basketball. Everything about you is constantly growing, which also makes you happier.

Of course, exercise is exercise. You must be careful not to get injured; otherwise, it will not be worth it. Everything will become meaningless.

At the same time, when playing basketball, you can also communicate and interact with your fellow players, venting your frustrations, and letting them bring you more positive energy. This will improve your mood, make your days more comfortable, and everything will become smoother!

In conclusion

Life, isn’t it just a game?

Adjusting Work Disgust - Irreplaceable Acceptance of Mediocrity

Adjusting after work - Detachment from work

Do you feel exhausted at the mere thought of going to work? Does the sound of your alarm in the morning fill you with dread about going to the office? I believe you might be suffering from work anxiety. Let’s consider if you have any of these symptoms.

Firstly, how can we adjust the feeling of being disgusted with work?

Don’t think that you are irreplaceable

The current environment sends a signal to everyone every day. Each person must become the center in their work life, aiming to be an irreplaceable presence and gaining their own business value.

Even in school, the idea of competitiveness is instilled in students. If someone else works hard, you have to work even harder. You cannot be surpassed by others. As long as someone is better than you, your efforts have no value. To surpass others means to become irreplaceable and to find a good job.

Within the family, parents hope that we can grow faster than others, leading to the creation of the phrase “don’t let your child fall behind from the starting line”. They want their children to become exceptional individuals, so they won’t be replaced and can live worry-free.

However, in company management, upper management will do their best to avoid having irreplaceable individuals. Once a position becomes irreplaceable, the company will bring in more people to take on the job, making it ordinary.

If you are an irreplaceable individual, then your boss can be replaced. This is something that no company can accept.

Learn to accept your mediocrity

With the rapid development of the Internet, the way people receive information has become increasingly convenient, but as a result, people’s level of understanding on the Internet has become lower. The Internet is full of flaunting wealth, as if one is the poorest person in the world.

However, according to statistics from professional institutions, less than 40% of people in China have a monthly average salary of 3500 yuan in 2021, which means that if your monthly salary reaches 3500 yuan, you are earning more than 60% of the people in the country.

In fact, the majority of people in this world are mediocre, just ordinary individuals striving for a living. Think about it, when you seek wealth in the eyes of others, are you doing it for them or for yourself?

How do we adjust after work?

After work, cut off all contact with work-related matters and put your phone on silent.

No matter how others are doing around you, please focus on your own well-being, read books, exercise, cook, travel, gain knowledge, broaden your horizons, and develop your character. Even if you don’t understand the TV shows and hot topics on TikTok, it doesn’t matter. Don’t let your daily life be filled with meaningless conversations, and don’t worry about keeping up with any trend.

When you live your life well, others will naturally enter your world!
