Meditation is another great method of relaxation. It does require you to stop your work completely, however, and entirely focus on the meditation.

It is highly advised that you learn the method of meditation while at home so that you become in tune with it and are able to meditate easily in a quiet place at work. This is best done on your break when there are no work distractions.
