Because of modern technology we can DO so much more than ever before and the temptation to fit even more in is always lurking there with greater expectations placed upon people from all areas.
For us to maintain that all important work / life balance it is essential that we take regular breaks and simply ‘pause’ and become conscious of our posture, realign and release tension through taking a deep breath in, hold and then exhale at the same time letting go of all tightness in the body. This technique done regularly every 15 minutes will leave you feeling so much more alert and relaxed.
There are some very interesting studies showing the importance of having a 20 minutes ‘nap’ in the afternoon will provide someone with a complete body/mind revitalisation thus ensuring both short and long term benefits to the individual’s health and wellbeing plus in work terms communication is more effective and productivity is greater too.
