Mentally challenging tasks require you to be on.  When your brain is stuck on off here’s what to do:  Skip the coffee shop and the vending machine.  Just get moving instead!  Take a walk for 10, 15, 20 or better yet, 30 minutes.  You’ll think more quickly and experience less frustration when you return to work.  (Don’t forget to take a bottle of water with you!)

Here are five great reasons to move it…

• Exercise boosts brain function.  It ramps up blood flow so that oxygen and nutrients get around to all parts of your bod including the brain!
• Exercise helps release the mood-boosting endorphins and eases anxiety, depression and can help improve your sleep.
• Regular exercising will help keep blood pressure in check.
• Speaking of regular…exercise will help get those bowels moving too!
• Exercise builds muscle, promotes flexibility, makes bones stronger and helps relieve tension.
