The main goal is to establish a daily habit that allows us to calm our minds and minimize stress. With our continually hectic, busy lives, many people find it difficult to relax and take it easy, but every little bit helps to improve our physical well-being.

Put the laptop away and enjoy your vacation, the emails can wait. Support and help from teammates can help us feel at ease, build trust with one another, and be valued and appreciated at work especially when we encounter obstacles.

Having a coffee together, discussing our day, solving a challenging work task can create a sense of belonging and thus make our work life much more comfortable. At the very minimum, we can allow ourselves some time to think about it before saying yes.
