Since a person who works full time spends many hours at the job, it does make sense to be aware of little ideas that might make one feel better and be more productive. Of course this is not an original idea, but I have been reading articles that deal with this. Here are some thoughts:
Get up and move. MAny people who do not have physical jobs, tend to just sit all day. So move around ever hour or so. Take the stairs, get some fresh air. Stand up and touch your toes, do push aways from your desk, pick up the big packs of paper. Give yourself a little neck and shoulder rub. Do not be afraid to use the tried and true stress ball routine for your hands and arms.
Mental: is also part of your health. Do not miss this area.
Word puzzles. I for one have a hard time with crosswords puzzles but love word searches.
If you have an office, try rearranging once in awhile. Draw something that you find intriguing. Deep breath!
STAY out of the chair when possible. Hold walking meetings. Use a cordless or cell phone and walk around as you talk.
Watch your posture by maintaining good posture and doing some posture exercises against a wall.
When possible chat person to person instead of phone or e-mails.
Only takes a few minutes a day to make all the difference in your mental and physical emotions during a day at work.
If you think of any other great ideas that you do to help yourself at work. POST.
