1. Jump
Irum Tahir, founder of High Point Chiropractic Wellness, considers jumping extremely rewarding and does it every day. Such exercises increase mental clarity, activate the lymphatic system, which, in turn, promotes the elimination of toxins, improves posture, and increases the level of endorphins. For the cardiovascular system, jumping is the most gentle way to burn the same number of calories as on a treadmill. Irum jumps every morning for 10 minutes. He uses this time to recharge himself with energy for the whole day, and shouts at the same time "I am strong!", "I am happy!", "I am successful!", "I am healthy!"
2. Do a good deed
Kim Cope, co-founder of ZinePak, believes he has found a unique way to recharge. He allocates 15 minutes. a day in the afternoon to help people. He tries to do something useful, not related to work. This can be anything, for example, delivering someone's packages or opening a door. Sometimes he asks colleagues and friends by email if someone needs help. Having done a good deed, he feels immediate satisfaction and consoles himself with the thought that this will be reckoned to him in the global exchange of karma.
3. Use meditation
The morning ritual of Guillaume Goutreau, founder of the Sequoia Lab, prefers to spend 20 minutes. his time for contemplation. The ideal time to meditate is early in the morning, before you turn on your gadgets. It is important that the time of day and place for meditation are, if possible, always the same. You can start with five minutes and then lengthen the period during which you concentrate the brain. Less than 20 minutes it is not recommended to do it, since the brain will not have time to sufficiently restore its resources. The benefits of meditation include: reducing anxiety, reducing the time it takes to sleep, improving concentration, and more. An entrepreneur advises beginners to use a special application, for example, HeadSpace.
4. Get on your head
Anne Wootton and Bailey Smith, co-founders of the Popup Archive, stand on their heads or arms throughout the day to help them both solve problems and just cheer them up. They find a place in the office where no one will disturb them and turn upside down. This is a great reminder of what our body is capable of when our head is busy all the time. Inversions, as these exercises are called in yoga, are excellent because they are fun, fast and healthy for the body and actually activate the brain.
5. Drink plenty of water
Derek Flinzreich, founder of Greatist, advises drinking plenty of water simply because it feels better afterwards. From a scientific point of view, water is present in the body and affects at least 100% of the processes occurring in it. Research shows that water can help you be more alert, speed up brain processes, increase productivity, and even lift your mood. How much should you drink? It is believed that a person gets 20% of the daily intake with food, thus leaving 13 more cups for men and 9 for women. Naturally, everyone's need for water is different and depends on many factors: weather, age, level of activity during the day.
6. Get up on the correct foot.
Skyler Sutton, founder of RAIN, has made it a rule to wake up with the right attitude every day. Before getting out of bed, he asks himself, "How good is I?" If he feels positive attitude and inspiration, then he focuses his thoughts on the best that the day can bring. The key rule is to do this before viewing messages on your phone, news on TV, and conversations with anyone.
7. Swing the press at home
Sheikhrose Charania, the founder of Women 2.0, and her colleagues book a conference room, kicks off their shoes, lies down on the floor and includes a video "how to build abs at home." Within 20 min. they do the hard exercises. Overcoming difficulties together gives the team a sense of cohesion, and the level of trust in each other grows. By the end of the exercises, everyone feels that it was the hardest thing of the day, and the work doesn't seem so hard anymore. Moreover, everyone laughs, gets a boost of energy and becomes more sociable.
8. Build an energy-sharing culture in your company.
Ben Rubinstein, founder of Yodle, that having a vibrant team is critical, and he hires that kind of people. His company employs several practices to generate energy throughout the day. This is invigorating music, and banging a big gong when someone made a good sale, and "15 minutes of fame" (general meeting of the team at the beginning and end of the day, when managers inspire the team and take stock. Inspirational speeches , videos and messages - This is the norm. Each meeting ends with a collective chant: so that everyone wakes up and cheers up).
Ben himself replenishes his energy by welcoming as many people as possible. When he feels a lack of energy, he goes to his high-energy colleagues, receives a positive charge from them and returns to work refreshed.
9. Take a nap
Jason Lang, co-founder of Bloomboard, says his most energetic days are when he naps on the couch for half an hour while his kids watch a Mickey Mouse show. He believes that the best way to switch is to do something that is not mind-straining or work-related. This short break allows you to work late into the hours when everyone goes to bed. There are tons of studies showing that naps are beneficial for productivity.
10. Walk for half an hour or more every day
Running a business is difficult emotionally, psychologically and mentally. Steve Gotenda, founder of REP Interactive, started out with thirty minutes of walking a day. Two years later, he started walking 9.5 km a day and plans to participate with his team in training for NFL athletes in California in the Santa Monica mountains. Since he started walking, he lost 20 kg, doubled his business and got married. He's definitely healthier and happier.
11. Develop the habit of giving thanks.
Chris Castillon, co-founder of One Month, writes down three things he is grateful for every night before going to bed. Sometimes he is so lucky that he writes down great successes. But more often on his list are small joys, like a cup of tea with friends or new knowledge from colleagues. He considers it important to celebrate even small victories. And by recording positive memories, he feels like he is tuning his brain for happiness. Research does show a link between gratitude journal and a 25% increase in happiness. Other bonuses are improved sleep and vigor.
12. Learn breathing techniques
Rohit Anabheri, Founder of Circa Ventures, 15 min. devotes a day to breathing techniques, pranayama, for general health. This habit allows him to work harder and focus on the most important things in his work and personal life. Here's how it works: close the right nostril with your thumb, and the left nostril with your ring and little fingers. The mouth is closed and not used for breathing. There should be no sounds when inhaling or exhaling. Do the exercise 10 times for the left nostril and 10 times for the right. This technique allows for better control of obesity, hypertension, sugar and cholesterol levels, improves heart function, and develops auditory and visual responses.
13. Work while standing.
Ryan Raguz, founder of Myriad Mobile, started standing up in September 2013. After just a couple of months, he noticed that he had become more resilient, focused and alert during the day. He started this experiment because of severe back pain, but since working while standing, the pain has diminished dramatically. He decided to find out what are the advantages of such a job? According to research in England, standing for three hours a day during a work week can burn as many calories as doing 10 marathons in a year. There is also research showing a reduced risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Other research shows that sitting for an hour is as harmful as smoking two cigarettes.
14. Keep a dream journal
Otessa Gadar, founder of 20/20 Productions, records her dreams as soon as she wakes up to provoke lucid dreams. She believes that as soon as her brain realized that she was paying attention to this information, it began to give out really important things. She uses this practice to develop creative thinking, memory and stamina. It remains to add that, according to research, people who record dreams are better at solving cognitive problems.
