that being in a park-like environment
helped participants perform better on
memory and attention tests; they did not
perform better when they walked down a
busy street. Nature engages involuntary
attention, where you can notice an object
without thinking about it intensely. This
lets the brain recover from direct attention,
which requires active focus needed to
work on a project or monitor car traffic
when crossing the street. This is why you
feel more revitalized after sitting in a park
than strolling around downtown.

LET ANIMALS BOOST
YOUR ENERGY
A study from the University of Missouri College
of Veterinary Medicine showed that interacting
with animals increases the hormone oxytocin,
which inhibits stress hormones and makes
people more calm and focused. Thinking
about your pet triggers these same effects.
Keep a picture of your pet on your desk and
let thoughts of after-work cuddles motivate
you through afternoon slumps. Or hit up the
Internet and watch videos of cats to increase
your energy and positive emotions.
