Live better and more energized by taking constant breaks. Give yourself surprises to re-energize yourself.

Just like how working out the same muscle plateaus progress, making the workout tedious – but constantly giving your body a surprise by working out different parts boosts growth – so too should you avoid doing too much of a repetitive task.

I love the blinking tip. Constant breaks to look at different distance (to exercise depth perception) has also worked great for me to avoid eyeball fatigue. And it goes without saying the stretching and loosening of body parts, since when getting focused on something we don’t notice ourselves clenching.

Awesome and simple tips to always give yourself something new throughout the day, thus staying energized,

Wonderful tips! Gratitude is really a big one. It really gives you the strength to change your outlook when you can’t change the circumstances.

I also love the eye blinking – you are right! I didn’t even realize how little I blink.

You’re welcome–you deserve it. I’m sure you’ll find a way to pay me back:)

I’ve been experimenting with the one on body tension. Whenever I feel any kind of distress at all — impatience, disdain, worry, intolerance — I try to remember to place my attention in my body. And I always find there is tension somewhere, usually in the abdomen or jaw. When I release the tension, it’s difficult to stay agitated.

Thanks for the link, by the way!
