Don’t let “struggle” steal your physical and mental health

Hey, dear colleagues in the workplace, are you working overtime again, trying to get through the night with a cup of coffee? We need to talk about this. Overtime is like a naughty goblin. Although it can occasionally bring a little spark of accomplishment, in the long run, it will quietly steal your physical and mental health!

1. Overtime: The body’s “invisible thief”

1. Sleep: The Victim of Overtime

Did you know that when you are still typing away at the keyboard late at night, your sleep elf is silently crying in the corner. Working overtime for a long time messes up your biological clock, making you unable to fall asleep at night and unable to wake up during the day, and you feel like a walking "poor student".

2. Endocrine: The “victim” of overtime work

Working overtime not only makes your hair fall faster than autumn leaves, but also turns your skin into an oil field, with acne popping up all over. This is because working overtime messes up your endocrine system, as if it’s saying, “Master, if you keep doing this, I’m going on strike!”

3. Stomach: The "protester" of overtime work

When you work overtime, do you often just eat some bread or instant noodles? If you do this for a long time, your stomach will protest. They will tell you: "Master, we also need love, don't always give us fast food!"

4. Heart: The “invisible burden” of overtime work

Overtime is like a war without gunpowder, which makes your heart bear too much pressure that it should not bear. In the long run, it may say: "Master, if you continue to work overtime like this, I will retire early!"

2. Overtime: A psychological troublemaker

1. Anxiety: A byproduct of overtime work

Working overtime not only makes your body exhausted, but also puts you under great psychological pressure. Anxiety is like an invisible hand, tightly strangling your throat and making you breathless.

2. Socializing: A victim of overtime

When you are immersed in the ocean of overtime, do you find that you haven't met with friends for a long time? The lack of social life makes your heart lonely and empty.

3. Efficiency: The paradox of overtime

Don't think that working overtime can improve your work efficiency. In the long run, you may find that you are becoming more and more slow and make more mistakes. It's like a marathon. If you run too fast, you are more likely to fall.

3. How to outsmart the overtime demon?

1. Arrange your time properly: Don’t let overtime become the norm

Learn to say "no", arrange working hours and rest time reasonably, and make overtime an occasional "seasoning" rather than a "staple food" of life.

2. Exercise moderately: Recharge your body

After work, why not go to the gym to sweat it out, or take a walk without any preparation. Exercise can not only relieve stress, but also rejuvenate your body and mind.

3. Eat a healthy diet: Don’t let your stomach and intestines suffer

When you work overtime, don't forget to prepare a nutritious dinner for yourself. Vegetables, fruits, proteins, and carbohydrates are all necessary to make your stomach feel your care.

4. Stay relaxed: Don’t let anxiety take over your mind

After work, you may want to listen to music, watch a movie or go on a spontaneous trip. Relaxing and nourishing your mind will help you better face the challenges of work.

5. Regular physical examination: give your body a "physical examination"

Don’t forget to have a regular “physical examination” to detect and deal with potential health problems in a timely manner. After all, your body is the capital of revolution!

In short, although overtime work can sometimes bring a short-term sense of accomplishment, it will cause serious harm to physical and mental health in the long run. We must learn to outsmart the overtime demon, arrange time reasonably, exercise moderately, eat properly, stay relaxed, and have regular physical examinations. Only in this way can we be at ease in the workplace and in life and enjoy a healthy and beautiful life!
