So, you have a busy work schedule. From the moment you wake up you’re on your toes, showing a house on one side of town, staging another, squeezing in a salad in the car; the list goes on. By the end of the day you’re left feeling drained and ready for bed.
It’s incredibly easy to neglect yourself when you have a busy schedule. When this happens, life can seem a bit gloomy. Here are some tips on how to add enjoyment to your day despite an overwhelming work schedule.
1) Make Things to Look Forward to
This is a wonderful habit to adopt. When you’re flooded with work, it feels great to have something fun planned in the near future. You can look at it as a well-deserved reward, and it will definitely make work feel more manageable.
Designate a movie night during the week, choose a day to eat out, or plan a fun weekend activity like the beach or visiting a loved one. Having something to look forward to will keep you energized throughout your week.
2) Exercise
It’s no secret; exercise makes you feel good. Taking a walk through your neighborhood or going on a quick hike or swim is beneficial to your body and mind. Reserve time for this during the week. Anything that gets you fresh air and keeps your mind off work is good. You’ll not only gain health benefits but will feel happy due to the endorphins you’ll release.
3) Sleep
Sleep is important; make sure you’re getting enough. It has vital effects on your health and mood. Sleep will make you feel more rested, patient, and prepared for work. It is recommended that you get between seven and nine hours of sleep every night.
With our tips, you’ll be one step closer to conquering the stresses of your work week. Taking care of yourself and finding ways to enjoy your day will leave you feeling fulfilled both at work and at home.
