Mundane stress

Bringing routine to some of the repetitive tasks of our everyday lives does have the advantage of simplifying them and, in time, allowing us to perform them on auto-pilot.  However, it also has the disadvantage of making the task mundane and ordinary which can lead to us becoming stressed through boredom.  Try breaking some of your everyday routines, even on a temporary basis.  Examples may include altering your route to work, sitting on a different chair in your living room or trying something different for breakfast. You may find that even a small change can reduce your risk of mundane stress and bring on an energy boost.
