Is it possible to reduce anxiety and increase your efficiency in just 20 minutes? Thankfully, yes! Try this tip to improve your day.

It's time to unwind

So, what exactly is this amazing stress reliever? It’s as simple as spending a minimum of 20 minutes in nature.

Studies show that walking or sitting in a park, by the water or in any place that provides you with a sense of nature will significantly lower your body’s cortisol levels*, leaving you more relaxed and ready to face your next work challenge.

Boost your break

To optimise a natural stress break, take a stroll in daylight hours for at least 20-30 minutes and, most importantly, put your phone away for the entire time to allow space for your brain to relax.

As tempting as it may be, you will need to avoid:

social media
music and podcasts
text messages
work emails
conversation
and even reading

Get back to basics

Next time you're feeling anxious, keep it simple and welcome some nature into your day. It’s also easy to get back to basics with your super. Follow these steps to get your super sorted, and if you’ve got questions give us a call on 1300 033 166 or online message us and we’ll get back to you.
