Set a timer and tell yourself you only have to do it for 1 minute. 4. Drink 5 sips of water. 5. Sit up straight. Do spinal twists for 10 seconds on each side. <\/p>\n<p>If those don\u2019t work &#8211; do a body scan and notice what you\u2019re feeling emotionally and in your body. Ask yourself what you need.

It might be that I need a break. So I use the pomodoro technic if I&#8217;m at home studying. If I&#8217;m at work and distractions come from my coworkers, sometimes you just need to let them be.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ces Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I just sit on my working table. I open my email or calendar. Just read, then little by little you will be able to return to focus. There are times when I don&#8217;t want to sit, open my emails or my docs, but I keep thinking, &#8220;if I won&#8217;t do this right now, I will miss a day of productivity- the more I will feel  demotivated.&#8221; Remember, just one small act, can change your mood.<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps it can also make you move if you think-&#8220;the hardest part is taking the first step. &#8221; When you reach your chair, or open your documents, your emails-maybe these are the hardest parts for you. But after, as you read emails or your calendar, you will be reminded of the tasks that can fulfill your goals; the deadlines that can be met earlier and make work easier.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody says it&#8217;s eas, that&#8217;s why I am rooting for you, cheering you on. You can do it though it&#8217;s hard.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Candace N. Try one or several of these. 1. Take 5 breaths using the box breathing method. 2.
