SOHO (small office home office, that is, freelancer who works from home) is always enviable: when others are crowded by bus or driving to work, they can rest and listen to music, or have a leisurely cup of coffee and start working slowly.
However, modern workplace psychology research shows that free SOHO people also have psychological problems that cannot be ignored, such as insecurity, frustration and boredom with work ... SOHO people have even become high-risk groups of psychological problems.
Expert: Yi Jianjun, national second-level psychological counselor.
■ Difficulty 1
Expectations are too high, and disappointment is even greater.
As we all know, many writers and business people started from SOHO. While many people choose SOHO, they also inject considerable enthusiasm and expectation into SOHO life. However, there is a gap between reality and dreams. Many SOHO people have worked at home for several years, but they have not seen any improvement in their careers, so they are prone to have a deep sense of failure in their work and life, and some even feel cynical. Especially when efforts are not rewarded, this sense of anxiety and unfairness will be even stronger.

When these emotions occur, you should do more spiritual growth, such as putting yourself into music, dance, painting, sculpture and other arts, and immerse yourself in beautiful experiences, so that bad emotions will gradually get away from you.
In addition, you can read more books about spiritual growth. But if you are not a professional, please don't read too many books about the disease, otherwise it is easy to sit in the wrong position. Many friends often think that they have a mental illness and can't solve it because they have seen too much discussion about the disease, and finally they have to see a doctor.
Yi Jianjun emphasized that one should not care about diseases, but how to move forward. Hypnosis says that caring about positive things will bring positive results, and caring about negative things will easily bring negative results. If you care about the growth of happiness and laughter, then health is there.
Finally, Yi Jianjun suggested that people who choose SOHO should first determine their career development prospects in SOHO. Once you really start SOHO life, you should lower your mind, don't rush for success, and motivate yourself more.
■ Difficulty 2
Money grows, but friends decrease.
In addition to career frustration, SOHO people are likely to be frustrated in their communication. Some SOHO people may not have financial pressure, but working at home for a long time will make SOHO people easily isolated from social life.
There is a saying that "SOHO is easy to make a workaholic". Some radical people often stay up late to catch up with tasks, which easily leads to a lot of energy loss, eye fatigue and physical weakness.

Yi Jianjun suggested that SOHO people should first make it clear that being SOHO people is not just about making money. Workaholics should always be alert to the needs of the body and work and rest according to the laws of the body. In addition, you should be psychologically prepared before choosing to be a SOHO family, because once you struggle at home alone, you will inevitably lose some friends who once had a common goal and will inevitably fall into loneliness.
However, Yi Jianjun said that SOHO people don't have to worry about "social phobia" and can make new friends on the new work platform. Of course, don't ignore the contact with old friends, but integrate into society and various social relations to avoid the insecurity of SOHO people.
■ Difficulty 3
It's much more lonely without bondage.
Many SOHO people complain that life and work are very tiring, and they have neither a sense of accomplishment nor satisfaction. SOHO people often work alone, so no one can share the pressure or the joy of success.
Yi Jianjun said that in fact, once you choose SOHO, you have to endure loneliness for a long time. Therefore, SOHO people often lack a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Yi Jianjun suggested that SOHO people should be people who love life and have clear life goals. Otherwise, if they are lazy and don't lead an active life, once they lack the supervision of their colleagues and have too much freedom, they will easily be at a loss and spend their time on unnecessary hesitation, such as getting up early or sleeping for a while; Finish the work immediately, or wait until the evening to deal with it ... this will easily lead to a decline in work efficiency and a sudden increase in work pressure.
SOHO people can rearrange their office environment, such as using bright colors and paying attention to opening windows and ventilation. In this way, people's mood will easily become relaxed and happy. (Zhu Ruijuan)
