Sitting at your computer for hours on end is no way to feel at your best. Try these three desk refreshers:
1. Type with the pads of your fingers rather than the tips. Your fingertips relate to parts of the brain that can affect your stress levels. By typing with the pads of your fingers, you can avoid triggering tension.
2. Drink a full glass of water when you feel tired.
3. Take breaks and place a cool, wet towel on your face, eyes and back of neck to refresh you and protect your nervous system.
Take mini escapes from your workday with these easy tips and you’ll feel energized and ready to focus on your tasks.
