Take a Screen Break: Try These 5-Minute Boosters! ?????

Last week we talked about the Pomodoro Technique, if you missed that short, easy read, here you go . ?This week we are going to talk about what to do when you give yourself a little cognitive and emotional break away from the screens. Even 5 minutes can do wonders!

Here are some things I've tried...

• A 5-minute stretch with Adriene ????♀?
• A brain-boosting snack (nuts, seeds, berries, etc.). Today I had banana and nut butter - sometimes I have a cookie. #Truestory??
• I have been heard to come out of my office and say, "I need a hug!" Pets also can help here????
• A 5-minute Guided meditation ????♂?
• Lying on the floor with my legs up against the wall ????
• Play an uplifting tune, and maybe even have a little dance party! This is a current fav , I love Spanish!????????
• YouTube, a 5-minute workout ????
• Step out for a breath of fresh air ??
• Color a mandala or do a zentangle ??
• Hydrate ??
• Journal ???
• Unload the dishwasher or clean something (less enjoyable, but still satisfying!) ??

It's just 5 minutes, but it's your 5 minutes - take it!?

Incorporating these activities into your breaks will give you a welcome respite from your work, can improve mental clarity, help you have a positive outlook for your day, and will probably make you nicer to be around!?

Now...your life, your version, your plan...

? Pick the 3 ideas you like best (or some of your own; what do you do?)

? Start being intentional about incorporating them into your day

? Reap the rewards!??
