The daily activities that you carry out, such as work from the office, work from home, or school, require you to look at the laptop screen all day long. Of course this habit causes fatigue, both physically and mentally. So, below are some ways to boost your energy in carrying out your daily activities:

1. Move

From now on, change your habit of sitting in front of a laptop all day long. Staying in place for a long time can make you lose ideas. At the very least, take 5-10 minutes to stretch or walk around your office building.

2. Listen to Music

Music plays a big role in influencing your mood and thoughts. Try working while listening to music that can stimulate your brain to focus and be creative, such as classical music, jazz or other instrumental songs.

3. Be social

Take advantage of the free time to have fun and exchange ideas with friends and family or simply update the latest information and trends to refresh your mind. Various studies state that a person will feel more calm, comfortable, and able to deal with stress when spending a lot of time and socializing with friends or family.

4. Hydrate

Focus on work is good, but don’t forget to drink enough water. At the very least, you can drink a glass of water every 2 hours. It’s better to avoid consuming too much coffee or energy drinks. Believe me, drinking water is still the simplest natural way with a myriad of benefits.

5. Rest

If you still feel exhausted and unmotivated, now is the time for you to take a break. Don’t be afraid to pause. You can practice breathing or maybe do a short sleep (power nap) which according to research can improve cognitive abilities, memory, and creativity.

Maintaining a balance between life and work can help reduce prolonged stress and avoid the impact of the risk of disruption on physical and mental health in the future. Let’s start following the tips above!
