Hack 5 – Schedule Downtime at Work

How do you feel at the end of a typical workday? Are you drained, totally stressed out, or in a bad mood? If so, then you need to get some work happy going on! The best way to do that is to schedule some relaxation time during your workday. We’re not talking about taking a two-hour lunch to run to the spa—instead, just find a few moments throughout your day to destress and relax. Take a quick cat nap or a half-hour power nap over lunch, step outside for some fresh air and sunlight, go for a brisk walk, do some deep breathing at your desk . . . all of these are beneficial for banishing stress and helping you refocus. Even if all you can do is sit somewhere for five minutes and close your eyes, you’ll be amazed at how much more relaxed and happy you’ll feel about your day.
