of overcoming stress in professional activity of the teacher
Annotation: In this article attention is paid on necessity in
understanding of teacher himself as an active modify objective and social
reality as a constructor of the world.
Key words: professional activity, emotional condition, mental processes,
mental conditions, conditions of emotional burnout, autosuggestion.
Professional
activity of any person paired with a different kind of stress, fear, anxiety,
worries, and feelings of all kinds. This is due primarily to the fact that in
conditions of market economy and stiff competition to the professional activity
of teachers of high requirements. Therefore, the question about the mental
health of the teacher and his emotional state rises to the fore.
Many
scientists (Vodopyanova N.E., Grishina N.V, Ilyin E.P., LevitovN.D. and others)
believe that mental health is characteristic of human mental activity,
manifested in the original stages of mental processes, depending on classified
items and the phenomenon of reality.
N.D.
Levitov revealing the essence of this definition says that every mental state
is something integral, kind of a syndrome. For example, a condition called
struggle of motives, usually considered in the strong-willed and processes, but
contains significant cognitive and emotional elements, and they all form a
coherent structure. Very important for the mental state is that for some time
characterizes the mental activity, which stresses unique and typical traits
[1,81].
E.P
Ilyinlinked any mental condition to the physiological structure of the human
(either it is caused by a physiological process, or it will contribute to the
emergence of certain physiological processes). Experiences, in his opinion, are
a leader in diagnostic of condition. It is experience (apathy, fear, disgust,
insecurity, etc.) that allows judging objectively the occurrence of human
psychophysiological states [2].
Anxious
feeling, depending on the mental structure of the personality, experience and
relationships with others may acquire meaning as anxiety and fear. A person in
the state of unaccountable indefinite anxiety, anxious, and if he is afraid of
certain objects or ideas, more often he feels fear. But fear can be seen as an
expression of anxiety in particular, objectified form, if not proportional
hazard anticipation and anxiety takes a prolonged duration. In some cases, fear
is a kind of valve to release by the underlying anxiety, like lava flowing from
the crater of the volcano. If a person begins to fear the very fact of fear,
there is a person on high, often exorbitant levels of anxiety, because he is
afraid of what might even indirectly threaten the life and prosperity[3].
State of fatigue is peculiar and typical to distinguish it from the
opposite state of vigor and efficiency. Fatigue - is a temporary condition that
is accompanied by the subjective feeling of fatigue and expressed the feelings
of lethargy, weakness, feeling of physiological discomfort, loss of interest in
work and others. One has to distinguish between intellectual and physical
fatigue. Depending on the intensity and location of loads during activities of
human fatigue can be acute or chronic, so after a long rest and fatigue is
reduced optimal working condition. However, teacher's degree of adaptability to
the physical, psychological overload and its inherent possibilities of
overcoming them are an indication of measures his/her professional
preparedness. Found that the least prone to stress are balanced people,
convinced that the source of power that is required for success, imprisoned in
his own abilities and capabilities, not in external circumstances, i.e. focused
on internal locus of control.
The
main features of mental stress can be summarized as follows: stress is a state
of the body, the origin of which implies a certain interaction between organism
and environment, stress is a state of heightened tension, mental stress occurs
under threat and there is a time when the normal adaptive response is
inadequate. Condition, which a century ago was an important protective
mechanism in the modern world has become a major source of disease [2].
The
ability of teachers to suggestion is widely used in mental auto regulation:
through autosuggestion, meditation can change own mental and physiological
state. Mental images are updated at random, can have the same effect as the
real objects. Man is able to fully concentrate on a particular image or idea,
discussing silently, because the human's mind is dialogic even in private with
ourselves we are engaged in social interaction. Inner world is dynamic, it is
susceptible to various recombinations, and the images of the imagination can
oppose the image of the real world [5, 57].
Possession
of skills and habits of auto regulation, relaxation and positive inner speech,
reduces the level of stress leading to burnout. Research has shown that
defensive behavior, especially passive - the least effective strategy for
coping with stress to maintain mental and physical health in social and
psychological terms. Less aggressive people overcome life challenges with fewer
adverse effects and avoid depression. A person who has had a psychic trauma and
has not brought out emotions in words and actions, bad feelings are displaced
from consciousness, but may occur in neurotic and physiologic disorders.
Getting rid of this condition may rebound in memory, awareness of repressed
emotions. The release and the expression "aggrieved" emotions can be
done with the retelling, which prevents traumatic experience of a painful
force[3].
Professional development and
self-improvement is a way of protection conditions of emotional burnout (CEB).
Exchange of
professional information with representatives of other departments provides
sense of broader world than the one that exists inside one team. You can use a
nice emotional communication (when a person examines his feelings and share
them with others, the possibility of burnout is greatly reduced, or this
process occurs to be not so expressed).
Our
whole interior life is connected with the internal processes of introspection
and autosuggestion. These processes can be constructive and destructive, so we
need to block the negative factors used only to positive autosuggestion.
Implementing the image of one or other image of deep rhythmic breathing, and it
is sure to change somewhat. Mental images of good and evil, happiness, health
and illness which are created by us also have a real effect. We must learn to
overcome an inadequate response to their surroundings. Disharmony of our inner
world is closely related to the physical condition. The purer our thoughts are
and the more love we feel for all living things, the higher the immune
potential of our "ego", and the more we irritability, troubled
thoughts, the more problems we have with health [5].
Therefore,
you should to determine short-term and long-term goals it is not only provides
feedback, indicating that we're on the right track, but increases the long-term
motivation; achieving short-term goals is a success, which increases the degree
of self-education. You must provide care from unnecessary competition (there
are situations when it is impossible to avoid, but an excessive desire to win
generates anxiety, makes people aggressive, which contributes to the appearance
of CEB). Do not try to be the best, always and everywhere. In any negative
emotional overcoming it is important to realize their feelings, needs, and
desire to master the socio accept the forms of manifestation of his emotions,
to remove the emotional stress.
There
are three basic ways to successfully combat negative mental states, as well as
to manage the events which cause them [6, 79].
1.
To solve its problem. In this case it is necessary to clearly formulate the
specific problem, review the available options and choose one of the options as
a solution. There is evidence that those who solve their problems are more
satisfied with them and feel themselves masters of their own lives.
2.
To change the attitude to the problem. For example, you can look for trouble as
the method of hardening of nature. Sometimes it is possible to find funny side
in stressful situations.
3.To
submit with the presence of problems, but try to reduce the impact caused by
its status on your body. It is useful to take time out and relax a bit when one
is upset. This method is especially effective if the problem is impossible
neither pass it no solve it.
