Another way of taking micro-breaks that can really help to reduce your stress is
to get up from your desk every 30 minutes or so and stretch a little bit. It is not necessary for you to go into a full stretching routine in order to receive the benefits. As a matter of fact, simply stretching your neck and shoulders and getting the blood flowing in your body over the course of 30 seconds or so can go a long way in helping to reduce your stress. It has both physical and mental healing properties and should be a regular part of your workday.
