Members,
In the past week, we’ve been talking about stress management. Learning how to better manage stressors can help decrease the intensity of stress you experience. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your break time:
° Practice your deep breathing. Deep breathing improves circulation and eases muscle tension.
° Check your e-mail. Subscribe to a messaging service that will send you daily jokes or inspirational quotes. A few funny or inspiring words can help lift your spirit and gain perspective
° Turn on your radio: Classical music has been shown to induce relaxation. Have it on in the background or tune in online. Many radio stations now have live feeds via the internet.
° Stretch! Take a few minutes in between long tasks to take a stretch break. It can help increase alertness, improve blood flow and relieve tension.
How do you bring your stress levels down at work?
