   You spent most of your time slaving away in your cubicle 1. Either there is a monotonous 2 routine to deal with or all- hands-on-deck frenzy 3 to grapple. If that is not enough, there are always unappreciative bosses, gossipy colleagues, office bullies 4 or impossible excel sheets that you can’t ignore. Instead of allowing these elements to get better of you, you can create your own Zen den 5 in the center of the storm. Here are few stress-busters that can improve your mood at work.


  1. Tune 6 in to your favorite music
  Music alters your state of mind like nothing else.
  2. Watch a funny video
  From Gangnam style dance to Heavy Metal Farmer to toppling Brides, Youtube can perk 7 up your mood in two shakes of lamb’s tale.
  3. Look at bright cheerful pictures
  Images of cupcakes, home decors, and Cappuccino latte art will lighten your mood. Surf through colorful creative ideas and photos featured.
  4. Whiff some essential goodness
  Dab 8 few drops of your favorite essential oil on your handkerchief and sniff 9 in every now and then!
  5. Paint your nails
  A fresh new coat of florescent nail paint and the office will seem a shade better than before.
  6. Take a sinful chocolate break
  Apply cocoa butter to lips, dig your teeth into dark chocolate slab 10 or drink hot cocoa concoction 11. You will need very little convincing with this one.
  7. Skype call your best friend
  Bring on that giggle 12 fest by calling your BFF. With your busy work schedule you often end up widening the gap between you and your best friend. So make that quick call and rekindle 13 the bond.
  8. Read few pages of your favorite comic book
  Superman, Spider-man, Green Lantern or Iron Man, you need to escape into the world that does not have fax machines and excel sheets.
  9. Stretch and Breathe
  This simple routine will leave you feeling rejuvenated 14. Stretch and take 5-10 deep breaths.
  10. Improve your office decor
  You can’t refurbish your entire office but you can definitely embellish 15 your desk. Pin up pictures of your friends, family and pets, or put a small snake plant or ZZ plant near your PC screen. Stack up your favorite books and line up your favorite superhero figurines or soft toys. Keep it minimal 16. You do not want your desk to look like a Christmas tree.
