A mini-guide for you to turn off and enjoy the moment

If you're almost into the workaholic vibe, for everything! BR Sport helps you get your feet on the ground and have a healthier routine.

Have you adopted the motto ‘Take a deep breath and slow down’ today? To achieve success it is essential to know how to rest. Let’s normalize the timing to relax after hours, without guilt! Not least because, according to some studies, working long hours can lead to a culture of unproductivity, or doing things for the sake of doing them - the old and well-known expression "in the automatic mode"

According to a survey by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Brazil ranks tenth in the ranking of countries where people spend more time at work: an average of 39.5 hours of weekly work or about 8 hours per day. The global average is 36.8 hours. And the percentage of Brazilians who adopt journeys longer than 10 hours per day is 7% (less than the OECD average, considering that of the 40 countries analyzed, 11% of people work 50 hours or more per week).

Now, the question that won’t stop: can you set boundaries between professional career and personal routine? Investing in the strategic break and recharging the batteries is also something to include in your day-by-day. Relaxing is part of the natural process and makes total sense, after all, it is during these stops that great insights and creative ideas happen. Therefore, as BR Sport prioritizes your well-being, it is worth reading the tips below to turn the switch and adopt a more balanced lifestyle.

Self-care Handbook

1. Get used to getting home, or in case of home office, and stay completely "off" for a few minutes. The proposal is to do absolutely nothing. Just close your eyes and give the mind a time to get around the hurricane of thoughts. Slow down and notice your worries and tasks being replaced by a good feeling of calm.

2. Take a shower and send the tensions away. Then choose a cozy outfit that conveys that feeling of a hug. This includes a pair of flip-flops from the new BR Sports line with a gel comfort point at the heel You will feel like you have just had your feet massaged. Not to mention the update on the shades: a combination of gray + black, navy blue, and black + red, which even puts you in a good mood.

3. Try to dedicate yourself to a hobby. You can cook while drinking a glass of wine and listening to your favorite music band. It is a perfect combination to produce serotonin, the pleasure hormone, and still, end the day feeling happy.

4. Set aside some time to do some fitness activity, like swimming, running, biking, working out, or even playing that unpretentious soccer match with friends, which always ends up in a really fun after-game.

5. Before going to bed, don't go back to the computer or spend hours on social media. How about starting to read a book or choosing a series, movie, or documentary to entertain yourself until you fall asleep? The important thing is to replenish your energy for the next day and bet on a new motto: 'Take a deep breath, GET INSPIRED and relax!'
