Pete Alexander: 长期以来,我一直忽视压力,最终导致严重的健康问题,包括压力性糖尿病和糖尿病酮症酸中毒。我的经历强调了及时处理压力的重要性,以及倾听身体信号的必要性。我建议人们关注身体和心理的压力信号,例如疼痛、注意力不集中、情绪波动、睡眠问题和消化问题等。即使每天只有一两分钟,也要进行压力缓解练习,例如深呼吸或视觉化练习。重要的是要区分良性压力和负面压力,并处理负面压力,例如对过去事件的反复思考和对未来事件的焦虑。积极的心态在压力管理中起着至关重要的作用,包括感恩和积极看待挑战。我开发了一种五分钟的压力缓解技巧,包括视觉化练习,帮助人们在日常生活中快速缓解压力。 Mick Hunt: 认同Pete Alexander关于压力管理和身心健康重要性的观点。强调了定期休息和设定工作与生活界限的重要性,尤其是在远程办公的环境中。建议将压力缓解练习添加到日程安排中,并定期进行微型休息,以防止压力积累并影响家庭生活。
