Why can learning electronics be useful?

Before a conversation, a lot of information about a person can be deduced from his date of birth. Knowing about his passions and interests gives us insight into his perception of the world. However, what to do when we do not have this data? With help comes body language. See what can be read from gestures and facial expressions!

Hands

Some gestures related to hands tell us a lot about one or another character trait. Observe your interlocutor’s hands and look at how you hold them yourself. Constantly keeping your hands in your pockets may indicate secretiveness, a need for solitude or a desire to indulge in your own thoughts. On the other hand, hands tucked in pockets with thumbs on top are the hallmark of a person who likes to dominate and even manipulate others.

A person who keeps his hands on his hips while talking or waiting for something is usually someone who is confident, walking boldly toward a set goal. When asked what her future plans are, she will answer as quickly as possible, because she knows what she wants and why. Hands clenched into a fist are also a sign of a confident and determined person, while also being aggressive and uncompromising. Frequent clenching of hands is a sign of a tenacious character.

Are you constantly raising your fingers to your mouth? This indicates a high need for approval and support. It can also indicate low self-esteem, self-doubt and confusion.

Facial expressions

Smiling is a good thing. If there is a smile on your lips too often, it means you want them to give you affection and trust. You also want to be surrounded by friendly people, want to please everyone and show how open-minded you are.

The type of smile is also worth noting. A frequent smile with one corner of the mouth raised is a sign of hypocrisy. When a person constantly smiles with one side of his face, it can indicate his conceit, arrogance and selfishness.

It also happens that the eyes are cheerful, while the mouth expresses sadness. According to psychologists, such people are often very honest and trustworthy. Also, always observe whether a person wrinkles his forehead or expresses something else with his face when smiling. If the feeling is artificial, only one half will express this emotion. If authentic – the whole face will express it through, for example, symmetrically raised eyebrows or corners of the mouth.

The way of walking

The way of walking says a lot about a person’s character. For example, reckless people walk very freely, chaotically and unemotionally. Overconfident people walk slowly, spreading their arms wide. Lonely and thoughtful people walk quickly but confidently. A fast gait that is not accompanied by an awareness of the goal, this indicates that you feel a certain isolation.

Fearful, sensitive and insecure people always sit on the edge of a chair and walk in a way that expresses tension, such as taking dense, small steps or being restrained in their hand movements. Such people also often keep their hands in their pockets.

Knowing the peculiarities of a person’s character, for example, you can determine in advance whether you will get along well with him or her, whether at work or in your love life. Analysis of body language always helps to understand how a person relates to the people around him.

The term “job burnout” emerged in the 1970s. At first, it was used to describe the mental condition of employees who felt emotionally overloaded after tense conversations with customers. Nowadays, professional burnout is a defensive reaction of the body.

When you devote yourself to your work, you begin to experience stress, which gradually becomes chronic. The body begins to sabotage your efforts, telling you that you can’t go on. As a result, you feel constant fatigue, lose interest in everything that used to bring you joy, and see no prospects for yourself.

Professional burnout – symptoms

We can divide the symptoms of professional burnout into three groups. The first brings together psychosomatic symptoms, the second – interpersonal and psychological, and the third – institutional. Let’s take a look at all of them separately.

Psychosomatic symptoms

• Constant fatigue and delayed reactions;
• Physical and emotional exhaustion;
• Failure to respond in the face of a real threat to life or health;
• Drowsiness during the day and lack of sleep at night;
• frequent headaches and gastrointestinal complaints;
• sudden weight loss or sudden weight gain;
• trouble seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting or feeling;
• shortness of breath.

Interpersonal and psychological symptoms

• Apathy;
• depression;
• irritability;
• nervous breakdowns;
• Anxiety and suspiciousness;
• constant resentment and guilt;
• fear of not meeting their responsibilities on time;
• negative vision of the future.

Institutional symptoms

• A feeling that work is becoming more difficult and you will soon lose the ability to do it;
• Boredom at work and trying to make schedule changes on your own – you may start coming into the office later and leaving early;
• taking work home, even when you don’t need to, and resisting doing it;
• feelings of being useless;
• Avoiding making responsible decisions at work;
• indifference to the results of one’s work;
• failure to complete important tasks and focusing on trivial details.

With professional burnout, people almost completely abandon physical activity, cut off from loved ones, stop developing their passions. Not infrequently they also fall into addictions – for example, they escape from stress into alcohol. Often a person blames his mental condition on “bad” work, and yet attempts to change the sphere of activity do not help him. After some time, all the symptoms return, and even join them more.

Professional burnout – how to avoid it?

If you want to avoid professional burnout and work effectively, drawing pleasure from work at the same time, take to heart some of the following recommendations of psychotherapists.

• Create specific rituals for yourself each day, for example, meditate in the morning or in the evening before going to bed. This way you will energize yourself with positive energy.
• Listen to music, for example, during breaks at work and at home in the evening. Music lifts your mood, allows you to release stress and achieve a state of inner harmony.
• Don’t take on too many responsibilities. Take care of urgent matters and then, when you have the strength and time, help another person.
• Plan your workday.

If your job doesn’t bring you satisfaction, try changing your attitude toward it. By completing even simple, routine tasks, you benefit other people. Talk to your workmates – even short conversations will help you overcome monotony. When you feel overtired, take a few days off. This will keep you mentally healthy and in tune with yourself and those around you.

Working in sterile conditions requires wearing special clothing This is especially true for laboratory workers, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, beauticians, and food production workers. So find out what the clothing for working in sterile conditions should be.

Clothes for work in a hospital

When we think of working in sterile conditions, the first place that usually comes to mind is a hospital or laboratory. And for good reason, after all, disinfection and sterilization is especially important in these places, as all personnel are exposed to body fluids with microorganisms, as well as various dangerous substances. This is why clothing for both hospital and laboratory work, such as men ‘s and women’s lab coats, medical smocks and surgical blouses, plays such an important role

This is because such clothing protects against dirt and the effects of harmful chemicals and microorganisms. So if you need such a lab coat, Warsaw is an ideal place for stationary shopping. It is also worth remembering that doctors, medical staff or laboratory workers must not bring in any bacteria from outside and change out of their everyday clothes every time.

Gloves and masks as an essential part of the job

Masks and gloves, especially latex and nitrile gloves, play an extremely important role at work in sterile conditions. The former protect against the inhalation of microorganisms, dust and other harmful substances. They are therefore very important for work in medical, laboratory and production facilities.

Gloves, on the other hand, protect against contact with blood and body fluids of a patient in a doctor’s office, or a client in a beauty salon or tattoo studio. They are also an additional element of protection against the transfer of bacteria when preparing meals from raw products, which is why they are often used in the catering industry. It is worth remembering, however, that gloves used in sterile workplaces must have the appropriate safety certificates.

Shoes suitable for use in sterile environments

In addition to clothing, footwear suitable for sterile environments is also very important. White work shoes are the most common because they show dirt at first glance. It is therefore necessary to wash them thoroughly and even disinfect them immediately after use. It is also worth remembering that work boots intended for work in sterile conditions should be free of metal elements.

Caps

A very important element of staff attire in medical facilities and the catering industry are caps. They should have an elastic band, because it is necessary to hide all hair underneath them. But which caps should I choose in order to be sure that they will fulfill their role? The safest and best caps are made of polypropylene material. It provides air permeability and thus guarantees comfort even in rooms with poor ventilation.
