Well tired, the sun is shining nicely, you have to get back to work! How can you still enjoy the sun a little while you're at work all day?
Of course, if you're at work, you don't have to stay indoors all day. There are bound to be a few times when you can get some fresh air outside, and not just during a break. Sometimes you can also do something useful outside.

Is there a nice coffee shop with a terrace near your work? Plan that next meeting outside the door at that nice coffee shop including a terrace. Walk there, order a nice coffee with something on the side and start having a meeting! By meeting outside the door, other fun topics will come up, or very good ideas for work.
When you are back at the office you will feel completely fresh and fruity again and you can fully focus again.
Do you have an important phone call to make. Then don't look for an empty space at work where you can do that undisturbed, but go outside for a while. There are probably plenty of places where you can call undisturbed.
It is useful that many offices are increasingly using flexible workplaces. As soon as the sun shines, it's best to choose a spot close to the window, where you can look outside and enjoy the surroundings. For example, research shows that employees who sit close to a window are more active, can sleep longer and also have a better quality sleep than employees who sit far from a window.
The lunch break is of course also the ideal time to enjoy the fresh air and the sun. So even if you bring lunch or lunch with the team inside, take the time to take a walk outside. Research shows that 20-30 minutes outside causes the stress hormone cortisol to drop. It's nice when you can get back to work relaxed after a walk!
