How To : Keep Energized At Work!

1. Take A Break
Even if it is just a quick 5-minute chat with your colleague or watching a short funny video clip, the break will be refreshing to both your eyes and your mind.

2. Be Positive
Keep focused on the positive aspects of your work. Perhaps you have flexible work hours which helps you juggle personal and work issues. Or think back on that successful project you ran and your contributions that made it so successful.

3. Have A Lively Workspace
Put some personal touches to your workspace. Photos of family or places that you've been to will brighten up your working area. Plants or a small aquarium (see post on Cherry Shrimp and subsequent posts on how to upkeep them) will also help you to de-stress.

4. Stretching Helps!
Every hour, do some exercises to help your muscles relax. Ergo issues crop up when the muscles remain locked in place for long periods of time. Flexing your fingers and arms, standing up and closing your eyes for a minute will help loosen those muscles.

5. Get Some Personal "Me" Time
Life isn't all about work. Working on projects may stretch your working day into nights and around the clock. Make sure that you do allocate some time off to do your personal stuffs, like catching a movie at the cinema, or eating a good dinner with friends or family.
