Sport and physical activity

Physical activity and sport are essential for relaxation. A lack of physical activity interferes with the body's natural cycles: you thus deprive yourself of endorphins and do not sufficiently support the body's natural metabolic processes. As a result you are more susceptible to poor quality sleep, stress and illnesses.

Contact with nature

Relatively speaking, humans as a species have only recently moved from the outdoors to urban area interiors and in many ways spending so much time inside buildings is unnatural for us. Boost your mental capacities by taking regular walks or otherwise being in the open air.

Maintaining social contacts

Do not underestimate the importance of social relationships. Meet up with family, friends and acquaintances, and keep in touch with them. This way you will often gain a necessary wider perspective, which will help you better face problems at work.

Breaking the routine

Too much monotonous routine at work or in one's personal life may lead to a certain inertia, stress, and ultimately to burnout. Occasionally it is advisable to break up the routine in some way. If you have the chance, try working in the afternoon or in the evening some days and use the mornings instead to engage in some sport or other physical activity.

Healthy sleeping habits

Last but not least, it is necessary to stick to a healthy sleeping schedule. Go to bed at a regular time, sleep for a sufficiently long period, and if possible always get up at a similar hour. This will help regenerate your brain and boost your energy.
