Think of something nice or relaxing for a few minutes. You could also think of things that are unrelated to your work. Of course, you need to choose your timing for this since you don’t want to phase out at inappropriate moments.
Please refer to the blog for more details on this activity.
This is something I am missing badly. I wish if I can take a couple of days off and just go on a hike!
I was having a very busy schedule for last few weeks. So, I desperately needed a break as well as a mind break. I am planning to go hike.
Far from chaos, suffering and peace, I may get back to life.
Relaxed! This Christmas, I attended the Christmas Party but I had my Monday off so relaxing and enjoying post christmas beauty! Love it!
There are 5 ways to take a mind break. No matter how I do it, it is important that I do it.
Today, I saw an EPP. This was my first time in some major surgical procedure. I was overwhelmed. I had to give myself a break. As soon I got back from my shift I just took a warm shower, played soft music and tried to sleep. It was hard!
Oh, I was too tired and then I had to cook, get the laundry done and so many things to do. I got hold up at my kid's school. I got anxous. So I laid my head back, put a cushion back and closed my eyes. Oooo...I forgot I set a 10-minutes alarm. I recalled those moments when me and my daughters had a kitty party. My kitten purred all around me for a snack. The alarm rang and I found I was even asleep. Now I was feeling so good.
Being in a medical profession this is a very practical and effective tactic that we apply in our daily life. For a break, I actually play with my pets. It energizes me.
Schedule 30-45 minutes of gym time, 3 times a week to provide you with optimum results. If you’re too busy to go to the gym or jog, you can do the following:
This is something that I am doing regularly. It's great I can feel all the positive changes in me. My appetite has improved. I am more active and strong.. and so I am emotionally and mentally strong.
It doesn't matter if I ran or walk, all it matters how much sweat I shed.
There are few exercise that can reduce the symptoms of anxiety. Here, health.com has it covered.
I haven't take the previous images, but I see a big difference.. no fat. Pretty toned........ Now getting free of anxiety and depression made me look good!
Much more flexible and better able to handle my anxiety.
Doing it 4 times every week for 30 minutes.
Worked out for 30 minuntes today.
Doing jumping jack and squats for 3 days. Rest of the days I am sticking to my yoga.
I have always been a calm and cmposed yoga lover but I think at times I too need some adrenaline rush! Today, as I tried some jumping jacks I found myself totally out of breath. I feel I lost my stamina not active and may be that's why I get so easily anxious!
I missed out working out this week. To make up for it I parked my car at the other end of the parking lot and walked all my way to my workplace. I also skipped elevators whenver I could.
I am not siure if it is good to walk after lunch, but I went for a walk otherwise I would have slept for hours. I am just losing my momentum these days.
I can't work out every day. So, I decided to take the stairs 4 times daily. Once when I get to work and to my apartment which are respectively on 7th and 5th floor.
I never exercise, but at least I will avoid sitting down for hours as I used to do.
Meditation didn't help me much with my anxiety level. Like yes, it is low but not totally rid. I understand and accept I spend too much of time sitting down..
I stretch, do 2 sets of jumping jacks, squats every morning. It keeps me in form for the rest of the day.
Having a properly functioning body is also great for dealing with stress. The only thing remaining after exercise would be healthy food.
For sugar rush, you can turn to fruits and juices or even dark chocolate with over 70% cocoa content. For caffeine, you can drink tea or drink black coffee with coconut sugar or Agave syrup.
You are what you eat...That is why I prefer eating organic and fresh food like vegetables and fruits.
A few things that I have included in my diet are almonds, blueberries and whole grains. There are more to it. Check out the detailed article on this.
I avoid caffiene, alcohol, and even too much of spice. Blant food may taste blant but that definitely keeps me stressfree for the rest of the day. And at least I am eating healthy.
Lots of fruits and vegetables in my daily diet. Nowadays, I stay vegan for 4 days every week. I think I have never been so positive before.
I am on a raw food diet now! Organic and healthy.
Eating lots of fruits, vegetable, less oily things and drinking lots of water.
I developed some gastric problems because I used to skip my breakfast. There was a gap of 12 hours between my last and first meal of the day. But now, I eat even if it is just a boiled egg and a glass of fruit juice or bowl of oats and tea.
It is not always possible for me to eat healthy, but I try to. I don't drink coffee or sodas. Sometime, I do have to eat out ... then I really can't put a control on the fat.
I love the unhealthy stuffs way too much. But, I do my best to avoid the bad fat, red meat but I really can't live without coffee. I would try the coconut sugar with it now. I never tried it so far.
I just waved goodbye to caffiene and fats today. Heard they are not good for health in longrun. May I get some energy now. I am sick and tired of being depressed and anxious.
I have lots of fruits and vegetables in my daily meal.
My to-do list does wonder! I am basically an organized person. But to-do list makes my life much easy.
When I wake up in the morning and find myself in a messy room with no idea what to do next, I just get anxious. In fact anxiety is way too small to describe what I actually go through.
I suppose I need to take a few lessons to organize myself better.
At the end of the day when the crossed tasks outnumber the to-be done tasks, you feel so satisfied. I just realized when I did it.. I am getting myself organized.
I have started using stick on posts - it helps me keep a track of important tasks and dates. It helps me a lot to keep me organized.
