Is it just us who can't work?

We had just started a few days of new work, but were more stressed than we thought.

Anything looks difficult. Working slowly. Afraid of making mistakes.

Think too much until tired

Are we wrong?

Elder GP says we are in "Hypervigilance."

Or a condition where the brain is overly careful.

Often born during the adjustment to a new job. ❤️‍🩹

---

🌫️ Hypervigilance? Why does new work make us think so much?

It's a state where the brain turns on "everything wrong" mode.

Afraid of missing, afraid of not doing, afraid of being hit

Therefore makes us think too much. Think about it. Think about it until we can't rest.

Slow work blames himself.

Still can't use the system, it feels bad

Still thinking about work

Blank brain, headache, irrational stress.

Actually, no, we're not good.

It's because the body is in self-defense mode.

---

💛 What we want to tell ourselves (and who is the same way)

1) It is very normal for the first 1-6 weeks of new work.

Don't rush to scold yourself for not being good.

It's the usual procedure of "warming up."

2) Others used to feel this way, but they don't talk.

No one's been good since day one.

NEW SYSTEM / FLOW NEW JOB = TAKE TIME

3) Speed will improve by leaps and bounds in Weeks 3-6.

Now slow because still unfamiliar

It's not because we're not good.

4) Take a deep breath and remind yourself that

"This symptom is not true."

It's fear, not our ability.

5) Give time. No need to be perfect immediately.

Adaptation takes time.

The new job is not a 7-day test.

---

Note to 🐥

We don't feel good yet. Because it's just beginning.

Stress doesn't mean we can't.

It just says that we want to do well.

May we be a little more kind to ourselves.

And give yourself some time to grow up in this new job. 💛

... Read moreHypervigilance หรือภาวะที่สมองเปิดโหมดระวังภัยเกินจริง เป็นสภาวะที่หลายคนประสบในช่วงเริ่มงานใหม่ ซึ่งทำให้รู้สึกกลัว พลาด และคิดวนไปมาโดยไม่หยุด การที่สมองทำงานในโหมดนี้ไม่ใช่สัญญาณว่าเราไม่เก่ง แต่เป็นกลไกป้องกันตัวเองจากความไม่คุ้นชิน ในช่วงแรก งานที่ยังไม่คุ้นเคย ระบบใหม่ หรือวัฒนธรรมองค์กรที่แตกต่าง ย่อมสร้างความกดดันและความเครียด การให้เวลากับตัวเองเพื่อเรียนรู้และปรับตัว ช่วยลดความวิตกกังวลได้มาก นอกจากนี้การหายใจลึก ๆ เพื่อปลอบประโลมใจ และเตือนตัวเองว่าความรู้สึกกลัวไม่ใช่ข้อจำกัดของความสามารถ เป็นวิธีที่ช่วยจัดการกับความเครียดเหล่านี้ได้ หากรู้สึกเหนื่อยจากการคิดมากจนสมองว่างเปล่า ลองหากิจกรรมผ่อนคลาย เช่น เดินเล่น ฟังเพลงเบา ๆ หรือเขียนบันทึกประสบการณ์ เพื่อช่วยผ่อนคลายจิตใจ ความเข้าใจและยอมรับภาวะ Hypervigilance นี้จะทำให้เราใจดีกับตัวเองมากขึ้น และกล้าก้าวข้ามความกลัวไปพร้อมกับการเติบโตในหน้าที่การงานใหม่อย่างมั่นใจมากขึ้น
