All Things 150

Take 10 at work

Schedule some quiet time at work. Set an alarm for a specific time of day. Take 10 minutes off work to relax and reflect. Leave your cubicle if you can, take a walk, settle somewhere that will feel less confined and would be more conducive to contemplation. Any setting with nature is great.

Make room for gratitude

It is always good to show appreciation. Gratitude allows for unexplained phenomena, such as random acts of kindness, or fateful events. If you are grateful, you do not take anything for granted: each day becomes imbued with meaning, each gesture has significance.

Think positively

Once you start viewing things in your life in a positive manner, you will find yourself thinking differently and refocusing your mind to a happy, healthy place. When you eliminate negativity and re-frame how you think of certain things and situations, you’ll notice yourself being more relaxed.

Get it out

Expressing what is on your mind will help you to maintain a focused mind. After a long day or a significant event, you may feel confused and not be able to make sense of your feelings. By writing down your thoughts, you may be able to think clearer and move forward.
