Psychology expert RIchard Boyatzis says there is strong evidence to suggest that regular physical or leisure activities throughout the day stokes compassion and creativity at work.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Activating our parasympathetic systems stokes compassion and creativity, say scientists
- Positivity increases when workers are given more flexibility in their roles
- Research shows chronic stress levels hinder professionals and those in leadership positions

But regular coffee breaks, yoga and even praying to a loving god could change all that.
