Make the most of your Day

    Just read about a guy who limited his actual work to 30 minutes at a time. He would then divert his attention for a few minutes. After his little break he'd get back into the groove of another thirty minutes.

While many of us may not have the luxury of taking even a short break every half hour, we can enjoy a brief diversion from time to time.

Try these easy ways to help you make the most of your brief breaks throughout the day:
1. Stand up. Take a slow, deep breath. Lift your arms to the sky and stretch.
2. While away from your desk, get outside or at least look out the window. Have a nice, happy thought!
3. Enjoy a nice big drink of ice water and a healthy snack – Try some low-fat cheese or a handful of walnuts.
4. Get outside and take a quick walk around the block.
5. Close your eyes and clear your mind. Concentrate on breathing slow and deep. Give Thanks for the day and your job!
6. Leave your work area and enjoy a brief chat with a friend or associate. Listen. Ask about their children, pets, or weekend plans. Get your mind off yourself if even for just a few minutes!
7. Find some stairs and walk or run up and down the stairs for 5 or 10 minutes!
Who says work has to be boring? Make the most of your time at work and enjoy your day – if even for a few minutes at a time!
