Learn to say no
Stress often arises because you have said «yes» to too many tasks. The week becomes increasingly packed, you feel exhausted and a bad mood sets in. In order to break out of the hamster wheel in the long term, it is necessary to take a step back, critically reflect on your own everyday life and consciously declutter.
In the video, psychologists Stefanie Rietzler and Fabian Grolimund present the «tabula rasa method». Anyone who uses this method to cut back on their own agenda in order to reduce their workload will have no choice but to say «no» more often. It's not always easy. Other people may be disappointed if you turn down a request or cut yourself off. Sometimes it hurts you too.
The videos in the series «Don't stress yourself out» by psychologists Stefanie Rietzler and Fabian Grolimund were produced in cooperation with the Stiftung Elternsein foundation - publisher of the Swiss parenting magazine Fritz+Fränzi. And with the support of Pro Familia and the Federal Office of Public Health.
