It’s the middle of the day and you’re feeling a little worse for wear. The weekend feels so close, yet so far, and there’s still a mountain of work to power through before you can call it a day. If you want to cut through the monotony of the workday, you’ve come to the right place! Here are some ideas that can fend off the workday blues and help you craft the perfect weekday wellness kit for you:
Relax
The best way to bust out of the dreary weekday cycle is to put your tasks on pause and take a short break. Feeling wound up? Bring out those essential oils or minty balms and rub a bit of them on your temples. Relax your typing weary hands and improve circulation with a little hand creme and a short hand massage. Really sink into the moment by making yourself a warm cup of tea to soothe your nerves.
Refresh
Freshening up can do wonders. It’s an instant mood lifter that helps you not only look better, but feel better too! Stock up on weekday necessities like tissue and hand sanitizer. Keep some facial wipes and facial mist in your bag for a quick non-caffeine pick me up. Put on some lip balm, pop in a breath mint, and add a spritz of cologne for that finishing touch.
Ready to Go
Ready to get back in the game? Get up off your seat and do a few stretches to re-energize your body. Pop in your earphones and doodle in a journal or sketchbook to help you re-focus and get your creative juices flowing again. Pick up from where you last left off and start ticking those tasks off your to-do list! You got this!
Bonus Tip: Still in need of some extra motivation? Hang up a photo of your loved ones at your workstation to remind you that there are people in your corner cheering you on! Finally…
