I Want To Feel Better - Inside & Out
How
To Refresh Your Mind When Surrounded By Chaos
Do you work in an environment that's noisy,
crowded and chaotic? Unfortunately, sometimes you have little,
if any, control over the conditions of your workplace. But
the good news is that you can refresh your mind and thrive
in any work environment.
Try these tips for a fresh perspective amidst that craziness
around you at work:
1.
Sound canceling headphones. If your office permits, use
sound canceling headphones to completely banish the unnecessary
noise around you. You'll be able to increase your productivity
tenfold. You'll experience less interruptions and more inner
peace that way.
- Be
sure to tell your boss that your headphones are meant to
block sound and engage your work focus. Keep your boss
informed
of your decision to avoid being reprimanded for listening
to music.
- Sound
canceling headphones can cost anywhere from $100 to $400
per pair. So, if you're self-employed, this may be worth
the investment, but if you're working for an employer,
consider
asking them to foot the bill.
2.
Walk away. While it may seem counterproductive to walk
away from your work, it often provides the quickest dose of
revitalization for your brain. Walk away from your desk and
grab a cup of coffee, tea or whatever beverage you're craving.
Sip it while away from your desk, and return after you've had
a few moments to regain perspective.
- If
possible, enjoy your break in the great outdoors. Or sit
next to a window and look outside. The fresh
air and change
of view will do wonders for snapping you out of your mental
rut.
3.
Invigorate your senses. Pack your favorite scented candle
and bring it into your office. When you encounter a creative
block, begin to feel tense or annoyed by all of the unruly
noise around you, light the candle, if permitted. Typically,
it only takes a few minutes before you're back to your regular
self.
- If
your workspace is private, take thirty seconds to close
your eyes and breathe in the scent deeply. You'll likely
experience a rush of serenity or energy, depending on the
scent you choose.
- Fruity
scents like cucumber melon, pomegranate, and orange generally
provide an instant boost of energy. Cleaner scents,
such as winter rain, linen, or light floral scents often
give you an aura of serenity.
- Check
with your employer before bringing in any scented products.
Some employers are very adamant about weeding all
scented products out of the office environment because
it may distract some employees. This includes perfume,
aftershave,
and even scented candles.
If your workplace is far too chaotic to overcome an honest
attempt to refresh your mind and focus on your work, it may
be best to approach your employer. You may be surprised to
find a sympathetic ear from someone who also finds your workplace
chaotic and stressful.
When you put these tips into practice, you'll experience an
immediate boost in happiness and productivity. Small changes
make a big difference in your perspective. You can refresh
your mind when surrounded with chaos by applying these strategies
today.
