During the long days and short nights of summer, it's easy to feel tired and fatigued. Even the busy flowers in the office building show signs of exhaustion in the afternoon. How can we make good use of our lunch break to give our bodies a good rest? By taking a short break at noon, we can recharge our energy and face the afternoon's work with vitality and radiance.
There's no limit to the ways we can relax during lunch break
If you've been engaged in intense mental work in the morning, it's important to give your brain a chance to relax during your lunch break. You can do some massage and eye exercises for your face, neck, and shoulders to relax your tense nerves and relieve the stress and fatigue in your brain.
Here are some specific methods: use your fingertips to comb and press your head from front to back, focusing on pressing the acupuncture points such as Jingming, Taiyang, Baihui, and Fengchi. If you feel any pain in these points, you can massage them a bit more. You can also knead your ears and neck muscles, and pat your shoulders and upper limbs. Another simple way to relax is to "gaze into the distance and let your mind wander," giving yourself a moment to empty your mind and not think about anything. Feeling the tension in your scalp after a morning of intense work? Go to a hair salon near your office and wash your hair! It's the simplest and most effective method for those engaged in intense mental work. Enjoy a 10-minute head massage - forget about work, just relax. After washing your hair, you'll not only have a great hairstyle, but also a great mood.
Finish your daily 30-minute exercise routine during lunch break
In the office building, there are often fitness centers. If you always complain that you don't have time to exercise after work, you can use your lunch break to complete your daily 30-minute exercise routine. You can choose an activity based on your personal preferences - take a 30-minute yoga class, jog on a treadmill while enjoying music, or play ping pong, badminton, or go up and down the stairs with your colleagues. Breaking a sweat after lunch can make you feel more energized for your afternoon work. You can also team up with your colleagues to get a gym membership card - whoever has time can go. This not only helps build relationships among colleagues, but also avoids the waste of someone getting a membership card and then not using it after a few days.
