Claim Your Own Relaxation Space at Work

Get your­self a space to be away from the highly stress work envi­ron­ment.  Imag­ine the amount of stress we are con­stantly receiv­ing daily (in office and out of office).   Nope, we are not ask­ing you to quit or walk out of the office like a men­tal freak.  We need to cre­ate an envi­ron­ment that you feel more relaxed in.  Some of us are even more pro­duc­tive when we have suf­fi­ciently relaxed.  Take a look here!

1. Make your work­place look attrac­tive and pleas­ant to you — The typ­i­cal work­place cor­po­rate envi­ron­ment are cubes after cubes of employ­ees.  Come to think of it, it looks like a chicken farm where the chick­ens are sit­ting inside the cube.  The pro­fes­sional looks that the exec­u­tives have planned for are usu­ally dull, grey and life­less.  If this is affect­ing you, change the work­place and make it look attrac­tive, that you are proud of it, that you will come in every morn­ing with a lighter feeling.
2. Remove the clut­ter – You will feel more relaxed with noth­ing on your work desk.  A work desk with min­i­mal items make you feel refresh, like a new begin­ning every­day.  How­ever, we have to say that some of us would feel more relaxed with things hang­ing around on the desk!
3. Add green stuff – Add plants.  Add things that are green or resem­bles the green foliage.  Green­ery releases ten­sion in our mind.  It brings peace and calm to our mind.  Green­ery also helps to ease the strained eye. Your eyes had been star­ing at the com­puter screen for the entire day; it needs its share of rest!
4. Make the place smell good – Bring a scent that you like.  You do not want to smell the card­boards, wires, or the smell from the com­put­ers?  Give some refresh­ing smell that you are com­fort­able with.  Of course, you will have to be sen­si­tive to your neighbour’s nose as well.  Before you put on any smell, be sure to check with them if they are com­fort­able with the new smell.

5. Play relax­ing music – Play music that sooths your mind and soul.  A calm mind will allow you to work bet­ter.   For me it’s instru­men­tal jazz and clas­si­cal music.  I’ve the ten­dency to lis­ten to the lyrics closely and will lose my atten­tion and focus of my work.  How­ever, that will still be depen­dent on each indi­vid­ual.  Some are even more com­fort­able to hip hop or heavy metal!
