Interact with Colleagues Over Short Breaks
During your tea break, you can socialise with your colleagues. The talks can be about anything other than work. Crack jokes and laugh with others. It will not only build strong relationships between you and other employees, but it will also distract you from your stressful job. Once, you embark on your tasks; you will feel more rejuvenated to push through the many meetings and tasks at work.
Another way you can socialize with colleagues is playing game together. For example, playing tic tac toe can help you unwind after a stress presentation or just before a meeting with an important client. At the end of the game, the players will leave feeling energised to handle the rest of the day.
Breathe in and out
Taking deep breaths has been proven to help with stress relief in the workplace. The best thing about the breathing technique is that you can do it from anywhere. Breathing helps release built-in tension. All you need to do is to breathe in deeply and make a count of 1 to 3, then you can breathe out. Repeat the process of breathing in and out until you feel better.
Take a Walk
Walking away from the building where you work for about five minutes can significantly help you unwind. Nature is a therapy second to none. You will be surprised at just how much good the walk can do to help you get back to work feeling energised. If you have scheduled a meeting with a client, you don’t have to hold it in the conference room when you already have a work slump. Ask them to walk around with you as you discuss your business. The fresh air would work well for both of you.
Get Away from the Computer Screen
If you already feel unmotivated and overwhelmed, you don’t have to remain glued to the computer screen while in reality, you are doing nothing. Take some time to just think about why you need the job as well as what is stressing you. Also, think about how you can improve the situation. A good way to carry out this practice is by writing down the points in a small notebook. If it is your family at home motivating you, think about them and how the money you earn helps sustain their needs. Once you have established solid reasons, and then be sure that you will have gained your motivation to keep pushing on.
