As we start to get used to the mechanics of long-term working from home it\u2019s easy to neglect both our physical and mental health. We asked our wonderful Wellness Manager, Roxy Danae, for her key advice for staying active and taking care of your mental wellbeing during these challenging times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are Roxy’s top five tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find a routine<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Keeping a regular routine will not only give structure to your day but it will help you separate your working day from your downtime. Get up early, have something to eat and get dressed. It might be tempting to stay in your pyjamas all day, but you\u2019ll be more productive if you put on proper clothes. Plus, you won\u2019t get caught out on any improtu video calls!<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Be mindful<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Meditation can be something that many people find difficult or simply avoid. Now is the perfect time to practice meditation and find time to soothe your stress. There\u2019s plenty of self-guided online meditation apps such as Headspace<\/a> and Calm<\/a>, which can help you practice meditation for ten minutes every day. Meditation helps reduce inflammation in the body, forms new neurological pathways in your brain, helps with productivity and creativity and keeps us grounded.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Get creative<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        We now have more time to take up a new hobby or learn a new skill, and with so much technology at our fingertips the options are endless. You don\u2019t have to be artistic to get creative, try your hand at knitting, tackle a paint by numbers or learn a new language. The benefit of having added time is you can try more than one hobby. Not a fan of cross stich? Try a yoga class for beginners online!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Practice gratitude<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Taking time out of your day to remind yourself of the things you\u2019re grateful for can be transformative. Work it into your daily meditation or take a few minutes at the start or end of your day to reflect on what you have. The act of practicing gratitude helps us to reframe a negative situation into a positive.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Stay active<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            It can be very easy to avoid exercise when working from home but it\u2019s vital for both mental and physical wellbeing. Use this opportunity to train areas of your body you\u2019ve previously neglected, invest in a kettlebell or a pair of dumbbells and add some variety to your workouts. There\u2019s a number of free exercise classes on YouTube so try something different to your normal routine.<\/p>\n

            To support the industry\u2019s wellbeing, we\u2019re pleased to announce that we will be launching a weekly Virtual Yoga for Comms class. The hour-long classes will for four weeks, every Wednesday at 6pm starting 8 April. Register for your personal wellness<\/a> and enjoy a yoga class from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
