Hi everyone,
We all have good and bad days. On good days it seems that we are motivated to conquer the world but on bad days it’s easy to not even move from bed. Finding motivation to overcome your fears can be hard on good days but even harder on bad days. We all know the benefits of being in control of our fears; self approval, a sense of accomplishment, enjoyment… just to mention a few but it can just be hard to find the enthusiasm to get there some days.
° Day dream. Give yourself five minutes and imagine yourself in a place far, far away from your desk. You can also use this time to remind yourself why your working so hard. (e.g.,Think of your family, an item your saving for such as a house or car, a promotion)
° Make the most of your lunch hour! Many workplaces now offer exercise classes during lunch or after work. If your place of employment doesn’t offer these types of classes, check out the neighborhood. Chances are there are classes around your workplace or you can take it into your own hands. Go out for coffee & a walk before, during or after work.
° Mini massages: Got carpal tunnel? Typing & writing can wear on your hands; try giving yourself a little massage to relieve the tension.
° Redo your cubicle: Bring things from home like pictures, plants, a stress ball, a sudoku book. Turn your space into a place you like spending time in.
