Discover activities that can boost your day to day life

After facing an intense day at work, the biggest challenge is not letting boredom take over. As demanding as your journey is, it is possible to start another pleasant and energizing stage after hours. The first step is knowing that the more you feel like staying still, the more it’s time to move. Routine makes us settle down. Therefore, it is essential to include pleasurable activities in your daily life, such as playing an instrument, doing crafts, cooking for the family or starting a sport. “When the traffic is chaotic, a tip is to go home listening to a busy song that prepares you for the gymnastics atmosphere. This avoids allowing the stress of traffic to prevent you from working out or doing some other activity”, advises psychobiologist Ricardo Monezi, from Unifesp.
