Дуже не вистачає сну

Время на прочтение: 2 минут(ы)

Чи то кар’єрне вигоряння, чи то загальна безцільність, чи то тяга до нового шляху, — більшість людей в якийсь момент свого життя почують заклик до позитивних життєвих змін.

Ідеться не про повідомлення Національного інституту охорони здоров’я про те, що 16 мільйонів дорослих людей у США щороку страждають щонайменше від одного серйозного депресивного епізоду, а скоріше про здорову потребу вирвати себе з колії. Що робити?

У наступних кейсах ви знайдете чудові анекдоти, які працюють. Головне — зосередитися на корінні занепаду, визнати, що ви здатні вийти на інший бік, і окреслити конкретні кроки, які допоможуть вам подолати цю фазу та рухатися далі, до своєї величі. Якщо ви опинилися в колії, спробуйте ці тактики, щоб рухатися вперед.

Головне — зосередитися на корінні свого затишшя, визнати свою силу, здатну вийти на інший бік, і окреслити конкретні кроки, які допоможуть подолати цю фазу та рухатися далі, до своєї величі.

  1. Визначте сили у своєму житті, які роблять вас по-справжньому щасливими. Наука показує, що зв’язок із коханими, здоров’я (зокрема, фізичні вправи), а також благодійність — все це тісно пов’язано зі щастям. Створіть цілі, які включають ці теми.
  2. Зосередьтеся на змінах. Запишіть кроки, які ви зробите, щоб вийти зі своєї колії. Це можуть бути конкретні речі, пов’язані з бажаними результатами, — наприклад, запис на заняття, яке познайомить вас із новими людьми та досвідом, — але зміни можна знайти скрізь. Поїдьте на роботу іншим маршрутом. Пийте каву після сніданку, а не перед ним. Якщо в спортзалі ви завжди заправляєтеся на еліптичному тренажері, візьміться за бігову доріжку. Купіть вбрання, що виходить за межі зони комфорту, або вирушайте в подорож у нові краї. Візьміться за нову навичку, яка кидає виклик вашій самоідентифікації. Вважаєте себе інтровертом? Запишіться на заняття з імпровізації. Переконані, що не маєте спортивних нахилів? Запишіться на уроки тенісу. Ви впевнений у собі крикун? Відправляйтеся на мовчазний ретрит.
  3. Знайдіть собі напарника для досягнення мети. Це може означати, що ви попросите про це близьку подругу, можливо, когось, хто теж хоче внести зміни у своє життя, або ж розкажете про свої плани усьому своєму оточенню. Страх перед публічним приниженням може бути потужною позитивною силою для дотримання.
  4. Будьте відкриті. Можливо, ви починаєте цю подорож із чітким уявленням про бажані результати. Але якщо ви зробите наполегливу внутрішню роботу й відкриєте себе можливостям позитивних змін, то відкриються ще більш дивовижні еволюції. Залишайтеся спритними і скажіть «так».

100 Push-ups

Whether it’s career burnout, general aimlessness or a craving for a new path, most people will hear a call for a positive life change at some point in their lives.

This isn’t about the National Institutes of Health report that 16 million U.S. adults suffer from at least one major depressive episode each year, but rather about a healthy need to jar oneself out of a rut. What to do?

The case studies that follow offer excellent anecdotes that work. The key is to focus on the roots of your doldrums, recognize your power to get on the other side, and map out concrete action steps for moving through this phase and on to your greatness. If you find yourself in a rut, try these tactics to move forward.

The key is to focus on the roots of your doldrums, recognize your power to get on the other side, and map out concrete action steps for moving through this phase and on to your greatness.

  1. Identify the forces in your life that make you truly happy. Science finds that connection to loved ones, health (exercise specifically), and giving back are all closely connected to happiness. Create goals that include these themes.
  2. Focus on change. Write down the steps that you will take to move out of your rut. These might be specific things related to the results you want-for example, signing up for a class that introduces you to new people and experiences-but change can be found everywhere. Take a different route to work. Drink your coffee after breakfast instead of before. If you always tackle the elliptical machine at the gym, take on the treadmill. Buy an outfit that is outside of your comfort zone, or travel to new lands. Tackle a new skill that challenges your self-identity. Think of yourself as an introvert? Sign up for improv classes. Convinced you’re not athletically inclined? Enroll in tennis lessons. Are you a confident loudmouth? Go on a silent retreat.
  3. Get a goal buddy. This might mean asking a close friend, perhaps someone who also wants to make life alterations, or telling your entire network about your plans. Fear of public humiliation can be a powerful, positive force for adherence.
  4. Be open. You might start this journey with a clear idea of your desired outcomes. But if you do hard internal work and open yourself to the possibilities of positive change, even more amazing evolutions will be revealed. Stay nimble, and say yes.
