For those on the fast during the nine days, make sure that you do not starve. Starving will lead to excessive energy loss and make you less productive at work. Make sure you stay hydrated and consume small bits of fruits and shakes to keep in check the necessary sugar/glucose intake required for the body to function normally.

Embrace the Celebration

Navratri is all about celebrating the grandeur of the upcoming festive season. Because after Navratri, a string of festivals such as Dusshera, Diwali, Karwa Chauth, Guru Purab follows.

Take initiative to organise a Dandia night in your office and invite everyone to participate in it. Such get-together in the office premises often refreshes employees and helps them gel with each other.

In some offices, rangoli making competitions are also organised. The winning team is awarded with gifts and goodies. Do not miss out on ethnic festive celebrations in the office. They add great fun to otherwise predictable office parties. You can even consider decorating your work-station with beautiful flowers and place a plant to mark the beginning of new season.
