Taking Mini-Breaks At Work

Is Self-Care on Your Agenda?

Oct 30, 2020

Vary your assignments. Evaluate and take a different look at your job description. Discover new ways to spend more time on the obligations that help you to accomplish a sense of flow. Maybe you can assign the rest or at least alternately between them to break up any monotony.
Redecorate your cubicle. A change of scenery can brighten your mood. Bring in a flowering plant that will be easy to care for. Set out pictures of your family and pets. Start a collection of unusual desk accessories.
Stretch out. Stand up, and do some simple exercises about every half hour. Bend forward and reach for your toes. Raise your arms over your head and lower them down slowly to each side with your palms facing forward.
Walk around. Ask your colleagues if they’d be interested in scheduling a walking meeting. They may like the idea of going outside for a little fresh air and exercise while you discuss business matters.
Develop your career. Taking control of your future could help you to access more vacation time and reach other work-related goals. Assess your skills and target areas where you want to grow.
