5 Ways to Beat the Back To Work Blues

• Take Lunch Breaks! – its all too easy to stay sat at your desk through lunch, trawling through your To-Do-List but this is a sure fire way to add to your work blues. Instead, get out and go for a walk or meet a friend for coffee.

• Have a Mini Break – whether it’s a camping trip by the beach, a long weekend at the bach or a day trip to Queenstown, having a mini break gives you something to look forward to and reminds you of your summer holiday. Plus its super relaxing.

• Bring Back Date Night – whether you are single or coupled, bring back date night! Having a night out with your loved one (or the one you want to make your loved one!) will take the focus off the work blues and bring a bit of romance into your life…what could make you feel better than that?

• Get Outside – we all hate being stuck inside the office on a sunny day so get outside as much as you can. Daylight and sunlight has been medically proven to improve your mood, even if it is a dull day, do get as much of it as you can.

• Write A List – write a list of all your goals, hopes, dreams and aspirations for 2010 and put it somewhere you see it everyday. Having a list like this will keep you focused on what you want for yourself and keep you striving to achieve your goals.
