How do we as a corporate culture avoid stress? With all the technology updates in recent years, it seems that many office workers cannot escape increased levels of daily stress. This was in fact confirmed recently as reported by the Positive Experience Index. Many Americans seem to show higher levels of stress despite the rich standard of living vs. other countries around the work. Here are FIVE steps to help decrease stress in your daily work life. Special programs such as chair massage help to decrease stress AND increase productivity!
What slight changes can you make to make a huge difference in your work week?
Here are some ideas that may bring new energy and stress relief.
Form professional relationships with those that are positive and helpful
Working within an office allows for daily interaction with work colleagues. This helps when forming positive relations both inside and outside of the workday. Surround yourself with those that bring encouragement and positive vibes your way.
Put a new focus on healthy foods which enrich your mental and physical health
Healthy foods can impact your energy level throughout the day. Fresh fruit, produce and lean protein is easy to bring to the office for lunch vs. vending machine snacks which are often not as healthy (and also require pocket change!) Most offices allow easy access to the kitchen to reheat and store food.
Set up a new sleep routine to ensure mental alertness
Sleeping and restoring the body is a critical part of starting the day right! Eight hours seems to be the magical number to ensure feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Check out the apps on your phone to encourage better sleeping. Many reports that sticking to a schedule often brings better rest vs. random sleep patterns. Many sites suggest minimal screen time within one hour of going to sleep. One small change can make a HUGE difference at the start of the day!
Schedule more exercise with the office if there is a gym or walk outside during breaks
Does your office complex allow you access to a gym, yoga, or other options for physical activity? Take part and improve your physical and mental health only a few times a week! Start a contest to encourage movement and surely your energy will improve.
Drink more water!
This is easy and so helpful to improve your energy level. As a chair massage therapist, I find that many do not drink enough water throughout the day which can leave the client feeling sluggish and tired. There are many sites that educate about how much water to drink throughout the day for better functioning. Water is typically easy to find, cheap to buy if you prefer bottled water, and readily accessible in offices!
