On a hectic workday, all you can see is your unread inbox and a stack of paperwork waiting to be processed, and thinking about that makes you feel exhausted. But you can't afford to take a break because if you are
continuously stopping you might never finish your work. You believe that completing your work without taking a break is the best option.
Did you know that taking a break can help you go back to work with a renewed sense of focus and energy? And even if you only get a few minutes to yourself during the day.
Swiping through your social media is seen by many as a relaxing pastime. That's not entirely incorrect. But there are three different forms of rest that our bodies require daily in order to restore physical and mental health. Let's check them out.
Natural rest comes from getting your body moving. The body needs regular breaks, and during remote working situations, these breaks should consist of getting up and moving around, whether it's for a walk or some light exercise, so that the mind and body can reset.
In his book, "The Happiness Advantage," psychologist and professional writer Shawn Achor explains how social interaction can boost your disposition. It's a great method for relieving tension. Especially while working from home when everyone always seems to be occupied, we may have a strong desire for solitude. But spending as little as five to ten minutes a day catching up with friends and family members has been shown to improve mood.
Few people actually engage in this method of unwinding. However, similar to other forms of relaxation, it has a positive effect on the body. This is a form of stress relief that also has the added benefit of elevating our mental and emotional states. There are many different ways to do this, such as engaging in your preferred kind of self-care, which can include things like music, meditation, or literature that helps heal the mind.
These are three ways to unwind that your body requires on a daily basis. Some people never take a break because they're so focused on getting their work done that they feel guilty about relaxing. You'd be surprised how much more productive you'll be after only five minutes a day of rest and doing some of these things to cleanse your busy, work-filled brain.
