Smartphones are often given a bad name as it is suggested that they only make us more stressed. Fortunately there are a number of apps you can download that will keep your stress levels low.
Keep essential oils at your desk
Essential oils can help you relax – they mimic the atmosphere of a spa at your desk. Aromatherapy has been shown in a number of studies to help you de-stress, so shop around for an oil that you like the smell of and you’ll be on the road to relaxation.
Keep a handwritten to-do list
It’s well known that writing with your hand can be very therapeutic if you’ve been typing for a long time. Also, keeping your list on a pad instead of the computer means that you can take it with you when you leave your desk and can keep you away from the distractions of the internet. The act of writing a list by hand also makes you more able to remember it.
Have an orange for a snack
Many people enjoy a snack at work, and it’s always best to choose something healthy and nutritious. The orange could be the perfect option as it is filled with vitamin C, and vitamin C is the perfect nutrient to help you bounce back from a stressful situation.
Take a break from the screen
One of the problems with working on a computer is that you’re staring a screen all day. Whilst ergonomics have made things better, it can be quite stressful finding yourself in the same position staring at a glaring screen hour after hour. Take a quick break away from the screen and your eyes will thank you for it.
