Dear colleagues,

Thanks for taking a moment to join us.

Wouldn't it be great if you could restore mental energy fast, right at your desk, without much effort?

The good news is: you can. Read on to see how.

HIGH HEALTH PRACTICES FOR BUSINESS

Quick, science-based methods for producing real health

Easy Nature
The simple presence of greenery has been proven to have a restorative effect on mental energy. Bring a low-maintenance plant to your office; place it so you can see it when you glance up from your work. It doesn’t even have to be potted. Easy-going plants like bamboo, devil’s ivy, philodendron, and peace lily will grow even in a little bit of tap water. Take an opportunity to become familiar with the plant and enjoy its restorative effects.

His findings have shown that happiness may be a collective phenomenon: Having a happy friend who lives within a mile of you, for example, appears to increase the probability that you will be happy as well.” –Jessica Cerretani, Harvard Medicine
