Work is worship & every human beings in one or another way have to carry out their performance & activities only in the line with work . For carrying out any activities if your mind get disturb creating anxiety it indicates it is the witness of the mind . This should be avoided by taking the necessary action of your working mind .

Dear Professor,
Thank you for the interesting topic of discussion.
I get anxious about work quite often. Anxiety is a part of my life.
In the ancient Indian texts, we have been told to enjoy the journey and stop thinking about the results. So, this is what I try to do in order to overcome anxiety. However, I must also tell you that in such efforts I have failed many a times.
Best regards,
Anamitra.
Work is always associated with a certain tension. If you organize it correctly, then the work leaves a feeling of satisfaction, joy. During difficult periods at work, it is important to follow the regime. After 2-3 hours of hard work, you need to take a break for 30 minutes, and do something else - which will distract from the monotonous work.
Regards, Sergey
About the Topic of the University Research Works and mental anxiety as well as the mental health problems subsequent to the outbreak of Covid-19 it is already important to identify the factors that are related to high psychological distress among those who carry out Research at Universities and need a support from specialists in terms of mental health, especially in terms of anxiety and depression because both are the order of the day. On several occasions and in another thread we have repeated that the World Health Organization [WHO] was the one that introduced the term "Pandemic fatigue" to indicate the discontent spread throughout the world population as a reaction to an adverse situation such as anxiety and depression due to Covid-19. If we must continue to suggest what are the nodal points of this Pandemic fatigue announced by the WHO, I recommend following the Decalogue prescribed by Prof. Francisco Javier Gala , a specialist in this type of intervention, and following his very useful recommendations indicated in the following thread=

Thank you dear Dr. Velibor Božić for the interesting topic,
In my view, anxiety at work is quite natural, maybe it's what gives meaning to work. Anxiety begins to be negative when you work on things you don't like or when you don't have enough motivation. There is nothing better than a moment of success after a job that you love, tiresome and anxious.
We are all anxious from time to time. The thing that really helps is to go through that situation until the anxiety fades off which it does when you have experienced it some times. You can also use the paradoxical intention invented by V.E.Frankl = you decide to show how anxious you are to your colleagues. You decide to sweat liters, to tremble so that the walls are "shaking", to faint in front of your collegues, The more you put in efforts to show that you are really anxious, the more it paradoxically disappears. This really works!
When stress, anxiety or fear flare up, these techniques help keep you calmer:
Just breathe.
Close your eyes and count to 10 slowly.
Chew a piece of gum.
Phone a friend – preferably a funny one.
Smell lavender.
Curl up with your cat or dog.
Listen to calming music.
Exercise your body.
Sometimes I feel anxious if things have not gone as I would have hoped; perhaps (quite often) not being able to get in touch with someone.
"Is s/he all right?"
And isn't it lovely when your anxiety disappears as soon as you manage to speak to the person in question and all is well with him or her.
If I am having difficulties or struggling with something, I go and do something else for a while, then come back to it. I generally see things much clearer then.
Physical activity, a healthy diet, regular sleep and relaxation exercises may all help to reduce anxiety.
