Instead of a Smoke Break take a Walk Break

To keep my mood positive and get in a little bit of exercise, I like to take a 10 minute walk break. I grab my walking shoes, always under my desk, and a fellow coworker and we walk around the office building for 10 minutes. Lots of employees take an unhealthy smoke break and it really seems to be an excuse to relieve work stress. Why not try something healthier instead.

ANYTHING is better than smoking

I live in California, smoking has been banned in so many areas that I sometimes forget that it's legal to smoke. I'm so sensitive to it now that I will even re park my truck if I pull into a parking spot and can smell someone smoking in their car near by. I know it seems a bit extreme but I always have my dogs with me (unless it's too hot) but I don't want them to breathe it in while their waiting for me.
Don't even get me started about the one and only time I walked into a casino in California...ARGHHH...smoke everywhere!
