A change is as good as a rest

We've all been in a situation where we've been within the same four walls for a while or have been doing a repetitive task and we begin to feel unsettled, bored and fatigued.

Doing the same thing, being in the same place for any length of time numbs our body and mind, we yearn for stimulation.

When we feel like this, simple things can make us feel much better, more relaxed.

Just getting up, walking around, admiring the view from the window can all help.

Of course, the best thing would be a true change of scenery.

Getting out of the office or house into the fresh air will give us a much needed break and will revitalise us, give us more energy.

When we return to our necessary tasks, we will be in a much better mindset to continue in a productive manner.

Take the time to have a change of scenery or to do something different for a while and reap the benefits both physically and mentally.
