Work isn’t usually associated with fun. So, if you do have fun at work, count yourself lucky. And if you don’t, well, today is your day! Today is meant to foster humor and happiness in the workplace. It’s a great day to boost morale, bond with your co-workers, and brainstorm ways to increase creativity. Studies show that participants who had fun at their job work harder, stay longer, and are more productive.

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

Words have never rung so true. Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Breathe with an open heart. Heart Rate Variability (or HRV) is a non-invasive way to measure your autonomic nervous system by measuring the interval rate between heart beats. Changes in your HRV can be a great indicator of your body’s adaptability and how you react to stress. Too much or too little variation can be related to chronic pain, anxiety, and depression, as well as a number of other symptoms. Along with alleviating these symptoms, HRV can also be used to enhance peak performance and reduce stress.
