“Ahead is a series of New Year holidays and weekends.
However, there are certain types of organizations and companies where work does not stop, and their employees have to work without holidays.
And if it is a pleasure for some people to work on weekends and holidays (yes, there are some: the authorities do not interfere, a pleasant, comfortable company gathers at work, there are people who, in principle, do not like holidays and the turmoil and excitement associated with them), then others find it harder to stay positive.
And in this case, I advise you to treat yourself with care and support, ”explained the expert.
For example, according to her, it is worth writing to yourself in advance all the advantages of this situation, what positive it gives.
“Positive reinforcement always works in our favor, it creates purpose and motivation, as opposed to pessimism and uncertainty, which create anxiety.
Think and make a list for yourself of all the advantages of working on holidays, everyone will have his own.
Work on weekends and holidays is well paid or rewarded.
Motivation for any person is pleasant emotions associated with our loved ones, with travel, with gifts, entertainment, hobbies - the ability to afford it financially is worth it to go to work on holidays, ”Naumova said.
The specialist advised not to load yourself on the eve of the upcoming working days.
“Treat yourself more carefully - night gatherings and long walks will take strength and energy ... And on the days before work, observe the sleep and rest regimen.
Take a walk before going to bed, read a book calmly, follow your regimen and rituals without disturbing the biorhythms.
At the workplace where you have to spend the holidays, add the attributes of the holiday: New Year's decoration on the table, in the office, accessories in your image, arrange a festive tea party with your colleagues during the break.
I also recommend that you agree in advance on small souvenirs to each other, ”the RT interlocutor emphasized.
After working days, your weekends will definitely come, thoughts about future vacations are a great motivation for work, the psychologist explained.
“Plan how you can and want to reward yourself for your work holidays.
Perhaps this is a trip to the theater, to the skating rink, to the museum.
Your brain needs to understand that a reward awaits, and then it will be easier for it to endure inconvenience.
In addition to the bonus and rewards for yourself, discuss in advance, gather friends or family members and celebrate the coming New Year on a convenient day, ”concluded the specialist.
