Re-energise with a work break

Spring may be just around the corner, but it’s still cold outside!

Staying active, eating nutritious foods, having a work/life balance all help to contribute to physical and emotional wellbeing, and productivity.

Re-energise with some tips from the experts, and some common sense.

Take regular breaks from your desk, by taking a quick break every half hour – stand, stretch, or grab a drink before returning to work. (More information about the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN) at Deakin can be found here or on Twitter at @DeakinIPAN.
Take the stairs instead of the lift, or try something more sporty.
Take a walk or a run, along the Gardiner Creek Trail that runs between Elgar Road precinct and the main Burwood campus. Or the Geelong Waterfront.
Check out the Deakin University Art Gallery.
Stay healthy.

Don’t procrastinate! Meditate with the Smiling Mind free Mindfulness app or try some relaxation techniques.
