Can't focus and decreased efficiency? How to overcome stress at work during the war

Video day undoubtedly, this stress is reflected not only in the private life of every Ukrainian, but also in work. And although everyone who is trying to work selflessly to keep the economic rear of the country often takes stress and productivity often leaves much to be desired. However, stress can and should work. How to do it? To begin with, it is necessary to understand what experiences the employee can deal with the workplace during the war. 1. General experiences in the country's situation.

This distracts from tasks and reduces productivity. 2. Anxiety about the company's instability or specifically your own career position. 3. Unreasonable anxiety when a person has not determined that he is concerned but still cannot be at rest. Stress is a normal response of the body to the surrounding events will give a specific example.

When the war began, all the employees of our company were faced with a strong sense of stress, because it was not clear what to do, where to run, how everything would happen next, how to continue work in such conditions, etc. It is a normal person's reaction to what is happening, and of course, we all needed time to understand how to adapt to a new reality. That is why I propose to understand that we will help us cope with stress at work in different situations.

I recommend that you try not to get hung up on the negative. Bad news is always on hearing, we are watching many telegrams to learn about the state of affairs at the front-it takes a lot of energy that we could use as a resource to complete tasks. Highlight the time you read news (eg 1 hour a day) and when you work. This will help to distribute your time and resource properly.

Add something good to your life: after work, spend time with benefit and interest for yourself, it can be a hobby or simple walks in the open air that will help you relax and gain strength before a new working day. The main advice is not to run too much. Try to be in the state "here and now". If it does not help to abstract from obsessive thoughts, I suggest considering the worst option of what can happen.

Ask yourself the question: "What can happen to the company/with me at work?", "How will I feel if it happens?", "What specifically can I do to prevent such a situation?" Will it happen, what are my subsequent actions? ”. When you have an understanding of the situation and your personal action plan, if something goes wrong, it will be much easier for you to move forward.

This condition also entails many problems in the workplace: the employee cannot focus, lacks the resource to perform tasks, or reduces the efficiency that can affect KPI. Usually, then, then it follows that the person begins to worry, as far as he or she copes, and in general, whether the workplace will remain behind. Tips can be the same as in the previous two points, but everything is complicated by the fact that the employee cannot determine the causes of concern.

In this case, I recommend that you consult a psychologist or psychotherapist who will competently help to work alarm and restore your motivation, passion for your tasks, the desire to move forward and be productive in your work. Remember that stress is a normal response of the body to the surrounding events. First of all, it must be realized, and then - to understand your own way of working with it.
