Being Happy at Work

Hello,

Some people are lucky when they find the job that they love and then almost every day being at work is like a holiday to them, but it doesn't happen to all of us, so what we should do in order to feel better at work? Here I will give you some easy tips on how to make your workplace a better place :)

Have a Sense of Meaning 

Employees who know how their work has a meaningful, positive impact on others are not just happier than those who don't; they are vastly more productive, too. If you know why you do your job and that's the meaning of it you will instantly feel better doing it :)

Create an 'Office Nest'

If you want to feel comfortable at work, you should make your space your own, you can do that by decorating your area as much as you are allowed to and make yourself comfortable and relaxed.

Smile 

Something as simple as smiling can improve your happiness at work because it tells your brain to be more happy :) Smiling is also contagious and it will make your co-workers smile as well.

Leave Personal Problems at Home 

Emotions consume you and stress exhausts you. When you are stressed it will seem like your work is never ending, you will constantly be checking time and you will be distracted from being productive.

Eat Healthy and Stay Hydrated 

Maintaining a good diet and keeping yourself properly hydrated throughout your workday can really make a big difference your energy level and attitude. Instead of hitting the vending machine for lunch, have meals that involve yogurt, asparagus, honey, cherry tomatoes. Eating foods that keep your blood sugar wishing a normal range will stop headaches and fatigue, as well as help you concentrate better.

Accept People For Who They Are 

You can't change who people are. Instead of letting their personalities or actions affect you, take a step back. You could try techniques like counting to 10 before responding to them, avoiding finger-pointing, and maintaining a professional attitude.

Reward Yourself 

Whether it's by going out to dinner with your significant other, purchasing a new gadget, enjoying piece of candy, or giving yourself a pat on the back, find the time to reward yourself after you have completed a project or had a fruitful day.

Reflect the Day 

Why are you working so hard? You can answer that question by reflecting on the day and recalling something that was positive.

Be happy!

5 Relaxation Techniques

Hello!

It's almost the end of October, midterms are here, exams are coming, everyone deserves to relax a bit, it's good for You and it helps to study better and of course if you are relaxed you feel better. Here are 5 simple techniques how to relax and get rid of all the stress :) 

1. Meditate 

A few minutes of practice can help ease anxiety. Daily meditation may alter the brain's neural pathways, making you more calm and resilient to stress. Meditation is simple! Sit up straight with both feet on the floor . Close your eyes. Focus your attention on breathing or think about something positive such as "I love myself" or "I feel calm". Let all your thoughts float like clouds, get rid of all negativity, you don't need that in your life. 

2. Breathe Deeply

Take a 5-minute break and focus on your breathing. Sit up straight, eyes closed, with hand on your belly. Slowly inhale through your nose, feeling the breath. Deep breathing counters the effects of stress by slowing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure.

3. Laugh Out Loud

A good laugh doesn't just lighten the load mentally. It lowers cortisol, your body's stress hormone, and boosts brain chemicals called endorphins, which help your mood. Tune in your favourite sitcom or reading the comics, do something that usually make you smile :).

4. Get Moving

All forms of exercise will do good for you, including yoga and walking or even cleaning your room :). Excercising can ease depression and anxiety by helping the brain release feel-good chemicals and by giving your body a chance to practisce dealing with stress.

5. Be Grateful

Be grateful and remember all the things that are good in life, think of something that you appreciate most. Being grateful cancels out negative thoughts and worries. So be thankful for what you have in life and try  think that all the stressful things in life are here just to challenge you and to make you realise what is important and has to be appreciated. 

Stay psoitive :),
