All of us are different people with different habits. While it is easier for some people to get motivated and focused on what they’re doing, other people are struggling with keeping their productivity up while their stress levels are down. We have been all there from time to time, laying at bed awake at night thinking about your work and how you didn’t finish as much as you promised yourself. However, being stressed about your work tasks all the time can have serious consequences on your health, both physical and psychological. Some of the physical symptoms include headaches, muscular tension, heart palpations, sleeping problems, gastrointestinal problems, blood pressure problems, and many more. Psychologically, you might experience depression, anxiety, pessimism, being easily irritated, aggression, isolation, and many more.

We often picture meditation as something we can only do when we are at leisure, in comfortable surroundings. But most of our stress doesn’t always come from our leisure time – it comes from work.

Have you ever thought about how your workplace influences your efficiency and productivity? Well, you definitely should, as your surroundings drastically affect your mood and your creative thinking.

The quality of your workspace can have a lot to do with how your employees work. A bad workplace environment can cause distraction, frustration and even long-term mental distress in your employees — all of which are bad for your company’s bottom line. A good environment, on the other hand, can inspire creative ideas, motivate focused work and make your office a place your employees actually look forward to spending time.

When the psychologists Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Gregory Feist studied the lives of the most creative people in a wide variety of fields, they discovered that most of them were sufficiently introverted to spend large amounts of time alone. Introverts feel more comfortable in solitude, and that is a great stimulus for creativity.
