5招教你放松大腦 英語(yǔ)職場(chǎng)健康
The eight hour workday became the norm after the Ford Motor Company found that number resulted in maximum productivity at its factories. But there is a major problem with this: the idea of an eight-hour day with a short lunch break is based on the most effective formula for physical labor, not mental work and certainly not creative mental work. One of the best ways to recharge is to engage in something different.
自從福特汽車公司發(fā)現(xiàn)員工每天工作八小時(shí)效率最高，八小時(shí)就成了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)工作時(shí)間。但是問(wèn)題在于：每天工作八小時(shí)，中午休息一段時(shí)間是針對(duì)體力勞動(dòng)提出的，對(duì)于腦力勞動(dòng)或者創(chuàng)造性要求高的腦力勞動(dòng)是不適用的。讓大腦恢復(fù)活力的最好方法就是做不同的事情。
Here are five other ways to give your brain a break during your workday:
下面這五種方法教你在工作日放松大腦：
1. Take a moment to do something you love. Take advantage of what’s at or near your office. Being fully engaged in an activity lifts the mood and contributes to feelings of overall well-being.
1. 花一些時(shí)間做你喜歡做的事。充分利用辦公室里或者周圍能讓你感興趣的東西。全身心地投入到能讓你心情愉悅、感覺(jué)良好的活動(dòng)中。
2. Get in touch with nature. Being outside activates different brain regions than sitting inside, as most of us do for the majority of our workday. Simple ways to incorporate nature include taking a walk in a nearby park or regularly having lunch outside.
2. 享受大自然。上班時(shí)間，我們幾乎都坐在室內(nèi)，但是戶外活動(dòng)能使其他一些大腦區(qū)域活躍起來(lái)。融入自然最簡(jiǎn)單的方法就是在附近的公園散步或者在戶外吃午餐。
3. Be physically active. Company-sponsored yoga classes and in-office gyms are becoming increasingly common, with good reason. Exercise is good for our brains. If you can’t get in a full workout, don’t fret: stretching for five minutes or even using a standing desk makes small changes that can spur creativity and recharge your batteries.
3. 活躍身體。公司資助的瑜伽課以及辦公室內(nèi)的.健身操越來(lái)越普遍，這是個(gè)好現(xiàn)象。運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)大腦有好處。如果你不能完成一整套健身操，不要擔(dān)心，花個(gè)五分鐘伸展身體或者利用寫(xiě)字臺(tái)做一些刺激大腦創(chuàng)造力的運(yùn)動(dòng)，給你的大腦充充電。
4. Nap. I’ll admit that this is the hardest to do in a typical office environment, but if you can find a way, the benefits are huge. Some offices actually have sleeping pods, but for those that don’t, slip out into your car for a power nap. Much of what happens in the brain while we sleep is still unknown, but what is certain is that people perform better in terms of memory and concentration after a nap.
4. 小憩。我必須承認(rèn)在辦公室里很難做到這一點(diǎn)。但是你總能找到辦法，小睡的好處是巨大的。一些辦公室會(huì)提供睡覺(jué)的吊床，如果沒(méi)有，去你的車?yán)锼伞Ｎ覀冞�不了解睡眠時(shí)大腦所有的活動(dòng)，但是可以確定的是，睡覺(jué)之后人們的記憶力更好和注意力更集中。
5. Do nothing. If a snooze isn’t possible, then simply sit in a quiet place and allow yourself to relax for ten minutes. Just as when sleeping, important mental processes occur when we daydream.
5.什么都不做。如果無(wú)法小睡的話，就找個(gè)安靜的地方放松十分鐘吧。和睡眠一樣，做白日夢(mèng)時(shí)大腦也會(huì)進(jìn)行一些重要調(diào)整。
Brain breaks can make a big difference in your ability to be productive, creative, and innovative. The paradox is that doing less often allows you to do more.
讓大腦休息一下對(duì)你的工作效率、創(chuàng)造力、創(chuàng)新能力都會(huì)有所幫助，有時(shí)候少做一點(diǎn)事情是為了之后能夠做得更多。
