1 Plan ahead

One of the keys to having a satisfying and efficient lunch break is to plan ahead. Decide what you want to eat, where you want to go, and what you want to do during your break. This will help you avoid wasting time, money, and energy on finding food, looking for a place to sit, or browsing through social media. You can also prepare your lunch in advance, or order it online, to save time and ensure you have a nutritious and balanced meal.

2 Move your body

Another way to make the most of your lunch break is to move your body. Sitting for long hours can have negative effects on your posture, circulation, and mood. Moving your body can help you stretch your muscles, improve your blood flow, and release some endorphins. You can go for a walk, do some yoga, join a gym class, or play a sport. You don't have to sweat too much, just enough to feel refreshed and energized.

In Financial Services, we primarily exercise our heads (problem solving) and guts (getting into action). We neglect our bodies. And yet, our whole life experience is held in our body. Consider when stressed... we hold tension in our muscles, breathe shallowly, and feel wired, with an antsy need to get active. Moving our body is proven to relieve stress (30 minutes of exercise burns up stress-inducing cortisol). Also focus your awareness in your body as you move it. Take time to discover your body's moment-to-moment sensations and experiences. And as you build that awareness, you build a new level of presence, calm, and confidence simply from being more integrated in your body. Enjoy the experience!

3 Learn something new

You can also use your lunch break to learn something new, whether it's related to your work or not. Learning something new can stimulate your brain, boost your creativity, and enhance your skills. You can read a book, listen to a podcast, watch a video, or take an online course. You can choose a topic that interests you, or that can help you advance your career. You can also learn from your colleagues, by joining a lunch and learn session, or by asking them about their projects, challenges, or insights.

4 Relax and recharge

Sometimes, the best way to make the most of your lunch break is to relax and recharge. You can use your break to meditate, breathe, or nap. You can also do something that makes you happy, like listening to music, playing a game, or calling a friend. You can also practice gratitude, by writing down or thinking about what you are thankful for. Relaxing and recharging can help you reduce your stress, improve your mood, and increase your focus.

In the busy and fast pace of Financial Services, the unwritten norm is "go, go, go" and achieve more; win more. Relaxing is not in the lexicon. Simple relaxing is fine, but to quote a sage: "The antidote to exhaustion is not rest....but wholeheartedness." So rather than skip lunch or grab lunch on the go or mindlessly scroll on your device, or take a nap, take time each day to: feed your mind (new learning & curiosity), nurture your body (get out into nature / get active) or attend to your soul (do something that you truly LOVE, that brings you alive). Even 5 minutes a day builds new habits, feels great, and ultimately can transform your life. Enjoy!

5 Set boundaries

Finally, to make the most of your lunch break, you need to set boundaries. You need to respect your break time, and let others know that you are not available for work-related matters during that period. You need to turn off your notifications, close your laptop, and leave your phone aside. You need to avoid checking your emails, messages, or voicemails. You need to prioritize your well-being, and give yourself permission to take a break. Setting boundaries can help you prevent burnout, improve your work-life balance, and enhance your performance.

The deceptively simple adage "firm but fair" is true of great leadership and of good living. Firm on what really matters, while fair in treatment of self and others. Most leaders struggle to get the balance right, being either too firm (controlling, stubborn, or gruff), or too soft (complying, pleasing, "nice"). I had difficulty asking for what I really wanted...and saying "No". So I started practicing in places of low risk - cafes. I'd say "no thanks" to the table I didn't want, and practice asking for the table I really wanted, even on a busy Saturday night. Not demanding, just asking. That simple practice transformed my clarity, confidence and empowerment. What low-risk experiment can you try next lunch break? I dare you...
