Stressed? Try this one thing
January 29, 2020
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
