10 Ways to Rest at Work (List)

Rest at work? Isn’t that, well, wrong? Lazy? Unproductive?

True. Taking a nap at work may not be the best idea, although napping is becoming accepted as a healthy practice. 

What I mean by rest though, is more of a state of mind, and some intentional actions.

For example:

Accepting that you cannot control all aspects of your work.
Letting go of some expectations of others, or at least making your expectations more realistic.


Taking a few moments here and there to gaze beyond the computer and take a few deep breaths.
Pulling up a #30secondsofhope and concentrating on it for the full amount of time.
Taking the long way around for a restroom break, so you can get some steps and movement into your day.
Taking a real lunch break away from the computer, and preferably, outside.
Being content with your current salary/profit, even while taking steps to improve it.
Thinking about serving others through your work more than serving yourself.
Avoiding getting caught up in all the trending conflicts.  (Related, take a break from social media.)
Being grateful every day.

How about you? What would you add to this list?
