minivacation to fight stress
To albeit temporarily the stress of day-to-day life and really recharge our batteries, going on vacation is the best way to put behind us. However, there are still some of us who can’t afford to go to exotic locations, for one reason or another, but that is not to say we can’t benefit from taking one such break – even during working hours. Why not take a couple of 2-minute “minivacations” at work. Study shows this can have beneficial effects on the body, considerably bringing down the levels of stress. In fact, one such minibreak can relax us just as well as a workout session of 15-20 minutes would, and, what’s even better, we don’t even have to leave the chair, break a sweat or, in some more unfortunate cases, pull a muscle.
Stress management sessions (1 1/2 to 2 minutes) over the course of the day reduced work-related stress as effectively as 15-minute blocks of progressive muscle relaxation. The study found out that subjects were more willing to stick with mini-relaxation in the future because it takes up so little time. So, why not try it for yourself!
