Whether you need to rest or run is not regulates by your heart, but your autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system increases your heart rate and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system decreases you heart rate so that you body regenerates. 

Why 24-hour measurement on your chest is essential?

You might track HRV on your fist, finger, ear, but if you want to know what exactly is causing you stress in each and every moment, we need to measure it on three places on your chests to get the most reliable data.

Meanwhile stress is usually caused by overwhelming feeling of emotional, physical or mental tension, boredom at work can have similar consequences as stress.

Do you know at least one person or are you the one who is dragging to work and wishes it passes as soon as possible?

Feeling worthless, irritated because you cannot be creative, listened or make something out of your life is even more frequent and stressful as being stress-out.

Both lead to burn-out.

• Increase your networking, inside and outside of your company. Take the time to get to know new people and ask them about their jobs and what they find interesting or exciting.

• Get involved in volunteer projects within your company. Ask to be included in a corporate social responsibility (CSR) project and work to get to know the other people involved.

• Check into job shadowing. You may be able to shadow someone from an entirely different part of the company and learn something utterly unrelated to your current job.
