Your work duties may be affecting you physically and this could also impact your overall mood today. Perhaps your feeling might be because you have been so focused on your work you have spent little time taking care of your other needs. Really taking the time to look after yourself, maybe through relaxation exercises, can not only be a way for you to feel less tense but it might also give you more energy to cope with whatever else may arise in your working environment. Try doing a restorative yoga pose such as a simple seated forward bend or relaxation pose. While in the pose, you can imagine that with each inhalation you are bringing fresh energy into your body and with each exhalation you are releasing all of your tension. Spending just a little bit of time in a relaxing pose could do wonders for your sense of well being.

Relaxation techniques help us release any stress we have and rejuvenate our entire being. In our lives we are often so concerned with getting things done for other people that we often forsake our own needs, which in turn leads us to become run-down and edgy. Consciously slowing down, becoming attuned to our breath, and releasing our worries, though, gives us the extra boost of energy that we need to manage our work and to do so in a healthy way. Affording yourself a few minutes of relaxation during your work day will make the rest of your time go by much more smoothly today.
