We all know that we should take better care of ourselves， relax more， and have more fun at work （and elsewhere1， as well1）， but it's easy to overlook the opportunities to do just that because of the daily work priorities that consume2 our lives. Here are some ideas for learning to take action in your work life： Get healthy. Regular exercise will not only make your mind and body stronger but also help rid you of the frustration3 that occurs as the natural by-product4 of many employee interactions5 at work. Eat right， too， especially at lunch or when you're on the road6.
Take a break. When you take a break， you give your brain a much needed chance to relax， and you allow yourself time to recharge your batteries7. When you take a break， really take a break. Get away from the office for a while and avoid interruptions or， at the very least8， close your door and turn off your phone.
Have fun. About a third of our time is spent at work. If you're not having fun， why bother going？ Sure， the money is important， but so is how you live your life while at work. Fun should be a central part of the relationships you share with others both at work and off the job.
Manage your schedule. If you don't manage your own schedule， there's a good chance that someone else will be happy to manage it for you. Buy a quality personal planner or calendar and use it！
Be an optimist. Don't automatically9 assume anything negative10 about anybody. Instead， look for the good in everyone you meet and in everything that you do. You'll be amazed at how much better your coworkers will feel about themselves when you are there to lift11 their spirits.
我們都知道應(yīng)該更好地照顧自己，多放松，在工作中多尋找樂(lè)趣（在其他方面亦是如此?。?，但是我們很容易忽視能這樣做的機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)槿粘９ぷ鞯氖滓蝿?wù)在消耗著我們的生活。以下是如何在工作中采取行動(dòng)的幾點(diǎn)建議：
保持健康。經(jīng)常鍛煉不僅能讓你的身心更為健壯，也能幫助你擺脫每天工作中因與諸多同事打交道而隨之自然出現(xiàn)的沮喪情緒。還要注意飲食，特別是午餐或在旅程中時(shí)。
放松片刻。當(dāng)你放松時(shí)，你不僅給大腦以它非常需要的機(jī)會(huì)松弛一下，也給你自己時(shí)間重新充電。當(dāng)放松時(shí)，一定要是真正地放松。離開(kāi)辦公室一會(huì)兒避免被打擾，或至少關(guān)上門(mén)關(guān)掉電話。
有樂(lè)趣。我們一生大約1/3的時(shí)間用于工作。如果你沒(méi)有樂(lè)趣何必要做呢？錢(qián)當(dāng)然重要，但如何度過(guò)工作時(shí)光也是重要的。樂(lè)趣應(yīng)是你工作內(nèi)外與他人相處的中心所在。
計(jì)劃好自己的時(shí)間。如果你不計(jì)劃好自己的時(shí)間，你的時(shí)間很可能會(huì)被別人左右。買本好的備忘記事本或日歷并利用它。
樂(lè)觀豁達(dá)。不要?jiǎng)虞m就想人家有什么缺點(diǎn)。相反，要善于發(fā)現(xiàn)你所接觸的每一個(gè)人的優(yōu)點(diǎn)及你所做的每一件事的好處。你會(huì)驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)，你的同事有你在那兒鼓勵(lì)他們時(shí)，他們的自我感覺(jué)會(huì)好得多。
