4. Walk For Ten Minutes On Your Lunch Break, Rather Than Sitting Down
The lunch break is a sacred time. You know this, you respect this. You spend all of your morning dreaming about what you're going to do on your lunch break - maybe it'll be catching up on TV on your tablet, or treating yourself to a lazy, indulgent lunch, or diving into that new book you've been obsessed about. However, one swap that could help save and improve your quality of life, is treating yourself to a ten-minute walk at lunchtime, instead of just sitting at your desk. Yes, when it's exceptionally cold outside, and you feel as unmotivated as possible, it can be incredibly easy to shrug off the idea of taking a walk outside and electing to stay nice and warm in front of your computer monitor, However, walking for just ten minutes can have some great benefits, such as improving your fitness, your lung capacity, and can help improve your mental health if you choose to walk in a garden or a nearby park; being around nature has a beneficial property, allowing you to relax and de-stress away from your work environment. So, if you want to make a small, yet effective swap to your day, trade out ten minutes of staring at your email at lunch and instead take a walk.
