Problem: Article: Healthy rabbits enjoy moving, hopping, and exploring. If a rabbit experiences pain, it is likely to become less active . Watch your rabbit to see if it is listless and reluctant to move. A rabbit in pain may also be reclusive, staying in one place in a hidden corner. Light tooth grinding can mean that your rabbit is content and isn't normally a cause for concern. Loud tooth grinding is usually a sign of distress. Listen for this rough, grating sound which is a likely sign that your rabbit is in pain. As a general rule, tooth grinding that you can hear when you are across the room from your rabbit can be considered "loud." Pain can cause a rabbit to be irritable or defensive. If it is in pain, your rabbit may lash out and demonstrate uncharacteristic aggression. Take note if your rabbit tries to bite you or tries to harm another pet. Anxiety can also cause aggression in rabbits. Irregular breathing is an observable sign of pain or injury in rabbits. If you suspect that your rabbit is in pain, listen to its breathing carefully to see if it is fast or laboured. If a rabbit is hot it will breathe more rapidly to try and cool down. A rabbit in pain likely lose its appetite. Keep track of how much your rabbit is eating when you empty and clean its food bowl to see if it is eating less. If your rabbit's loss of appetite persists for more than 1-2 days, take it as a sign that it might be experiencing pain. A healthy adult rabbit should be eating approximately 0.5 cups of dry pellet food per day. While rabbits tend to deal with pain quietly, they may let out an unnerving sound in the event of sudden pain. If you hear your rabbit make a high-pitched noise, take this sign of pain seriously and bring it to the vet as soon as possible. It will normally take a significant amount of distress to make a rabbit go against its own nature in such a dramatic way.
Summary: Monitor your rabbit's energy level to see if it is active. Listen for loud tooth grinding. Be mindful of any sudden signs of aggression. Observe your rabbit's breathing to see if it is rapid or heavy. Observe how much food your rabbit is consuming. Note any high-pitched squeals that come from your rabbit.

Problem: Article: When practiced daily, meditation can reduce your stress and anxiety, increase your focus and productivity, and improve your general well-being. When practiced in the workplace, meditation provides the same benefits. It can help you to relax, enhance your effectiveness as an employee, and improve your overall on-site experience. To reap these perks, set aside time to meditate each day: Meditate during your lunch hour. The midday mental break will rejuvenate your mind. Meditate at the end of your work day. Concluding your workday with a brief meditation session will enforce the boundary between your work life and your social/home life. Meditate whenever you feel stressed or anxious. Taking a break from your busy schedule can actually help you overcome the feeling that you have too much to do. While some workplaces have designated meditation spaces, many business do not. Do your best to find a quiet, comfortable, private location to practice your meditation. If you must remain in your cubicle or office, you can take the following steps to minimize the distractions: Close your door and dim the lights. Take your desk phone off the hook. Turn off your cell phone. Put your computer in sleep mode. Wear earplugs or headphones. Take a seat in a comfortable chair. Place your feet firmly on the ground, rest your hands on your knees, sit up straight, and lift your chin. As you focus on an object in front of you, take several deep breaths. Gradually soften your gaze and close your eyes. As you concentrate on your breathing, listen to your heartbeat. Do not control your breath, just breathe naturally. Note how your body moves with every inhale and exhale. How do your ribs move? When do your shoulders rise? How does your belly rise and fall? As you meditate, thoughts will enter your mind. Instead of fixating on these thoughts, acknowledge that they exist and choose to let them exit your mind. Return your focus to your breathing. Do not judge or assess your thoughts. As you practice, you may begin to notice a pattern in your thoughts. Gradually return your attention to the present. Before opening your eyes, take several deep breaths. Instead of immediately returning to work, remain seated for a moment and take time to assess how the meditation made you feel. You may choose to end your meditation session at any time. As you continue to practice, your sessions will get longer.
Summary:
Make time to meditate at work. Find a quiet spot, if possible. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Focus on your breathing and body. Acknowledge your thoughts and let them go. Return to a state of awareness.
