HE
POWER
OF A
BREAK
Time away from work can help us recover
and recuperate. Unplugging from work
emails and phone calls and taking some
time away from the worksite or laptop can
improve our physical and mental health. As
such, let’s explore why taking a break can
improve your wellbeing…
Firstly, your batteries will be charged, and
you may feel more relaxed. Secondly, you
may feel more creative and have a stronger
focus.
Finally, a break can make you feel more
productive when you return to work
(we’ll talk a little more about this shortly).
Equally, you may feel more ef昀椀cient – ready
to take your next task head-on.
