Instructions

• 1

  Spice up your surroundings with beach or outdoor inspired items. For some, the beach and outdoors refresh them. To capitalize on this idea, fill a bowl with seashells or pretty rocks and touch them from time to time.

• 2

  Make your lunch more extravagant and comfortable by bringing glasses, plates and utensils from home. Eating with drab plastic cutlery can be a downer; using things from home can make you feel more civilized.

• 3

  Spray or light a candle with a homey scent to it. Whatever scent evokes a good memory of your home could be used. Lemon verbena and vanilla are good choices, too.

• 4

  Take time out of your day to massage various body parts. This gets the blood flowing and instantly re-energizes. If an allover massage is impossible in your work area, try an earlobe massage. To do this hold your earlobes between two fingers and rub gently.

  Change the radio station on your work area, or turn one on if you usually work in silence. New music will make you more alert since your brain isn't used to the sounds. If you can't listen to music at work, try listening to something new on your way to work on an mp3 player or CD player.
