Let’s get physical
It's really important to maintain our physical activity. The general recommendation is to try to be active for about 30 minutes each and every day.
While the gyms are closed you can still exercise at home. You might have some gym equipment already or you could try using household items, such as tinned vegetables, as weights.
Other exercises might include going for a morning or lunchtime walk or try a quick jog around the block in between meetings.
Stay grounded
Try to focus on your mind through meditation. Calm and Headspace are two great apps that you can download that can guide you through the mediation process.
Another way to stay grounded and feel connected is just to make sure you're Earthing. You can do this by simply making sure your bare feet are contacting the ground for at least 20 minutes each day.
Stretch it out
One challenge with working from home is that our workstations might not be set up correctly. You might have a study set up but if there are multiple people at the moment working from home, you might get turfed out of the study and find yourself on the dining room table.
It’s important to get up and about as much possible, at least every 20 minutes. Some easy workstation exercises include:
- A simple sit to stand. Cross your arms and stand up fully from seated position, then sit back down. Try to repeat this 10 times.
- Neck stretches. To help relieve the tightness around the back of your neck, look down at your armpit and then use your hand to pull your head down to your armpit. Hold this stretch each side for about 20 seconds.
Stay safe. Stay active.
