June 2 through June 8 is Mental Health Week. This year's theme is "Out of the Knot." It's a theme that says a lot about how we can sometimes feel: twisted in knots by stress, worry or busyness. For you as a temporary worker, this is also a good time to reflect on this.

Als je uitzendkracht bent, is het belangrijk dat je goed voor jezelf zorgt. Werken via een uitzendbureau biedt veel afwisseling en flexibiliteit. Tegelijk vraagt het soms ook wat extra van je, zoals je snel aanpassen aan een nieuwe werkomgeving of het leren van nieuwe taken. Dan is het extra belangrijk dat je weet hoe je goed voor je mentale gezondheid kunt zorgen.

Wat betekent ‘Uit de knoop’?

Soms voel je je in de war. Je hoofd zit vol. Of je hebt het gevoel dat je vastloopt. Dat noemen we ‘in de knoop zitten’. De Week van de Mentale Gezondheid wil je helpen om stap voor stap weer ruimte te maken in je hoofd. Je hoeft het niet alleen te doen.

Herken jij dit?

Misschien zit jij ook een beetje in de knoop. Let dan op deze signalen:

Je voelt je vaak moe of gespannen.
Je slaapt slecht of piekert veel.
Je hebt weinig zin in je werk
Je weet niet goed hoe je met je gevoelens om moet gaan

Wat kun je doen?

Begin met een kleine stap
Probeer niet alles in één keer op te lossen. Begin met iets kleins zoals opschrijven wat je dwarszit.

‍

Praat met iemand
Een gesprek met een collega, vriend of vriendin, je opdrachtgever of je contactpersoon bij het uitzendbureau kan al veel helpen en opluchten.
‍

Beweeg en rust genoeg
Een kleine wandeling of even pauze nemen kan al helpen om je beter te voelen. Probeer ook op tijd te gaan slapen en je rust te pakken.
‍

Gebruik de hulp die er is
Volg een training of een coaching. Wie weet heb je wel zorgen om je financiën; dan is het webinar “Wegwijs bij geldzorgen” iets voor jou. Tijdens dit webinar leer je handige tips en handvatten die je kunt gebruiken om jouw geldzorgen de baas te zijn.
