Office Workers and Warm, Breezy Weather

Warmer weather has arrived. April showers have brought May flowers. Now its time to get out and enjoy that fresh air!

Office workers spend the majority of their days inside, toiling in their little cubicles. Many of these workers arent even near a window. Have any of you been surprised, upon leaving work at 5:00, to see that it rained sometime that afternoon?

These same office workers are seated, day in and day out, in their sedentary jobs. Its easy to experience burnout that way, especially when deprived of Vitamin D. Whats one natural way we get Vitamin D? Sunlight. But how, you may ask, do we ever get to see the sun when were chained to our desks? How can we avoid burnout and depression?

The answer to those questions is easy. We must take advantage of lunchtime and get outside.

Pack a lunch, and leave the building at the noon hour. Find a grassy area or a bench at a park and enjoy your mini-picnic. Downtown areas have benches near fountains or works of art for enjoyable focal points. Feel the sun caressing your face, the breeze ruffling your hair. Pull out your book and read a few chapters. Escape for a brief while!

Wear your sneakers during lunch and walk. A bit of exercise does wonders for our moods. When returning, take the stairs instead of the elevator to raise your heart rate. Youll arrive back at your desk refreshed, rather than dulled and sleepy, and ready to tackle the afternoons work. You will actually be more productive having left for awhile, than if you had skipped lunch and worked through the break.

Here is one last suggestion for your lunch stroll. Add to it a pit stop at the florist shop. The bouquet you bring back will brighten your cubicle and delight your senses. Its a small way of bringing a little of the outdoors back with youuntil your next escape.
