10-Minute Resolution: Take an Afternoon Break

Hemera / Thinkstock
It’s easy to spend hours at your desk laboring over paperwork and projects without realizing that you haven’t eaten, had a drink, or taken a break. We challenge you to unchain yourself from your desk for 10 minutes each day. This mental break will allow you to clear your mind, give your brain a break, and refocus. Below are a few simple things you can do during your 10-minute aftenoon break.
- Take a walk.
- Drink a cup of tea.
- Use the bathroom.
- Get a snack.
- Chat with a friend.
- Fill up your water bottle.
- Stretch your body.
