Working at the office everyday for more than 8 hours can be very stressful. Especially, if you have many paper or computer works to do. Others believe that working in an office is aging them faster than they could think of. Hours of sedentary, stressful work under bad lighting is hardly good for anybody's health. According to a recent research about working in an office, sitting too long can lead to a disability. An hour of sitting can reduced 21.8 minutes of one's life expectancy. Also, slouching over a computer is linked to everything from stomach troubles to high blood pressure. And most of all, staring at a paperwork or a computer for a long time can strain your eyes. It can lead to a scratchy sensation, which is a symptom of a dry eyes.
There are actually things that we can do to lessen stress at work. One research shows that adding greenery to your office actually has great benefit to employees and impacts most especially their health and well-being. We are always on the lookout for simple ways to make offices more comfortable and more efficient. It turns out that adding some greenery, whether artificial or natural, has been shown to impact not only how you feel about your space, but also how well you work. Nature has been shown to have restorative effects on workers. Simply gazing at scenes of nature or at a plant or flower on our desk actually refreshes us. Another way to incorporate greenery to our office is by adding a wall terrarium. With their clean, round silhouette, these glass terrariums are a welcome addition to bare walls everywhere.
Don't be afraid to add greenery in fun, unique ways. Greenery can truly make any space better so don't be afraid to do something beyond the norm. Many people who have plants or some type of greenery in their office or cubicle report feeling less stressed and more energized compared to those who don't have any plants.
