Hi dear friends!
Today is Germany’s turn to share inspiring tips about the burnout problem.
Philosophy – The Germans are convinced that reading Nietzsche and following his philosophy helps to avoid stress. Accept things that cannot be changed. Work on what is in your power. Spend more time on something that cheers you up, like tea and cookies on the balcony – why not?
Car smash – One can apply to a special office where (s)he can smash a used car with a sledgehammer for a symbolic fee. This action contributes to the release of negative emotions.
However, according to some experts, such methods are not welcomed.
Wellness courses – following the slogan “Prevention of the disease is cheaper than its treatment”, hospital funds are ready to pay for the improvement of the health of their patients and provide numerous health improvement courses. Also, German hospital offices pay for courses aimed at teaching stress management techniques to patients of any age.
Office activities – many companies increase investment in programs aimed at maintaining the health of employees: the concern created free wellness centres, open fitness studios, massage rooms, held meditation courses and offered light therapy. Some companies spend five minutes of collective choral singing during the working day: medical studies show that it helps to strengthen the nervous system.
Lunch breaks in disco format are increasingly popular with the production hall turning into a place where you can both eat and refresh yourself with a refreshing drink.
