Do you regularly take your lunch break? A recent survey reported that only one-in-five American workers say they do get away from their desks at lunch. Taking a lunch break is beneficial to people.
Here are a few reasons why time should be taken to refresh and re- energize:
- Working through lunch can leave you feeling overwhelmed and lead to burnout over time.
- Talking with people about something besides work during lunchtime can boost your energy and improve your mood.
- It's a great time to run some personal errands.
- You can make your day more productive by giving your mind and body a much-needed pause.
If you feel like there is just 'too much on your plate' to take a proper break, remind yourself that if you do, you will accomplish more in the long run.
