5 Types of Rest to Restore Balance in Your Body and Mind

Civil Service Bureau

Read on to learn about the five types of rest that help regain your vitality effectively.
Take a nap

Napping after lunch can give your body a brief rest. A 10 to 20-minute nap is a good way to refresh your mind and improve concentration.



Allow the senses to take a break

It is never too late to start changing our lifestyle. Try to limit the use of electronic products and reduce screen time after work to give our senses a break.


Give your brain a break

Going on short vacations, spending time in nature or reading books enables your mind to stay away from stress and gives your brain a much-needed rest, allowing you to keep a clear head.


Keep social stress at bay

Set aside daily "me time" even if it only lasts for 30 minutes. Simply focus on doing something entirely on your own initiative to relax yourself.

Schedule short breaks

It is important to arrange short breaks in your work schedule. Taking breaks makes you feel invigorated and helps achieve better work performance.
