I know there are a lot of apps out there that can help you. Maybe, though, you want something you don't have to download that can help you. How about getting a plant and putting it on your desk at work? Do you think that would work?

Well according to a new study that is exactly what you need to do. Get yourself a plant and put it by your computer screen so you can see it. Having a plant can lower your heart rate and just make you relax a lot more.
