Your brain processes thousands of pieces of information everyday. A healthy mind allows you to be confident and meet life’s challenges. How we feel at work can influence our attitude towards the rest of life which means we need to be more positive in the working environment.

  1. Eating Healthily

Eating Healthy improves our physical health but it also improves our mental health. There are many quick and easy meals that are healthy for you and three of those healthy meals a day can keep your energy levels up and keep you feeling good at your workplace. Drinking water will also keep you hydrated and boost your metabolism. Studies have shown that blueberries, green tea, avocados, leafy green vegetables, fatty fish, water, dark chocolate, flax seeds and nuts help to improve your focus and concentration. This is because they increase blood flow and oxygen to your brain but water gives the brain electrical energy and dark chocolate contains caffeine which heightens your mood.

2. Exercise your brain

Just like the rest of your body, your brain needs exercise too. Mind games are the easiest way to do this. Computer games or even crossword puzzles help to keep your mind healthy. Try to learn a new word everyday. It can be a word from a different language or even get a word of the day calendar to keep your mind functioning. Here are some more tips on the best ways to exercise your brain.

3. Walk somewhere every day

Sometimes taking a walk makes all the difference. Just a change of scenery from the workplace to relax and improve your mood. Even taking a different route to work can change your mood and help you to experience something different. You could use this cool app called Walk It to plan your route to work or school every day on foot!
