There are periods when this is especially true, such as the end of the year, when we try to close as many things as possible. The exhaustion present at the time can still stay with us for a long time, and can even lead to burnout. That is why it is so important to take proper care of yourself during this time. Here are some ideas on how to do it.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to take care of yourself during a busy week at work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #626eed;\"><strong>Hydrate yourself<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water is a must! We need it for proper functioning and proper brain function. In the flurry of business, it&#8217;s easy to forget about thirst. Adult  <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/our-work\/dietary-reference-intakes-for-electrolytes-and-water\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  provide yourself optimally with 3-4 liters of water per day &#8211; including water contained in tea, juices or food. Hydrated, we are more aware and calmer, and we will also avoid headaches, tiring dry mouth or drowsiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you tend to sweat excessively in stressful situations, hydration is even more important. Try a homemade isotonic to replenish electrolytes: mix water with lemon juice, a little honey and a pinch of salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you think water is boring? Throw in some lemon slices, fresh mint, cucumbers or ginger. Also think about installing an app that reminds you to drink water, or set yourself reminders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #626eed;\">Less caffeine<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy your coffee? Not necessarily. Coffee can indeed stimulate for a while, but the energy quickly disappears, and we need another dose of it. What&#8217;s more, coffee is dehydrating &#8211; it&#8217;s a diuretic, and in some people it can also have a laxative effect. When we are dehydrated, we become drowsy, we get a headache, we can&#8217;t focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a dose of caffeine to get through the day, try limiting yourself to 1-2 coffees a day or reach for good quality matcha tea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #626eed;\">Get enough sleep<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep &#8211; next to water &#8211; is the second basis for well-being and proper functioning. Stress can make it difficult to fall asleep, even if we fall asleep, as well as to recover properly while sleeping. Take care of your sleep hygiene and try to sleep 7-8 hours a day. Fall asleep and wake up at roughly the same times each day. This will help regulate your circadian rhythm and make it easier to fall asleep and wake up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect in yourself <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29852897\/\"><br \/>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">insomnia<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or sleep problems persist, contact a specialist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #626eed;\"><strong>Remember to take breaks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even in the craziest moments at work, find a moment to breathe. During stressful situations, tension builds up in us, which is unhealthy for us in the long run and needs to be released. Instead of answering your next email or immediately running to your next meeting, stop, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and try to relax your shoulders and neck. Just a few minutes squeezed in here and there. Before bed, try to find a moment to breathe and stretch again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #626eed;\">Be kind to yourself*.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many of us, this may be the most difficult to implement. The world teaches us that our value depends on our productivity and performance. And if we can&#8217;t handle the workload, how can we deserve kindness and rest?  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember: <\/span><b>each of us has an innate value that is not dependent on anything<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, calmly, take a deep breath and try to let off some steam. You have the right to make mistakes and set limits. Take care of yourself, and do something nice for yourself at the end of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n  <span style=\"color: #626eed;\">If you want to talk about how to take care of your employees&#8217;
