Putting the “Well” into World Wellbeing Week

1. Quality sleep

It sounds crazy to discuss sleep in the same blog as work habits, but the reality is we work late – sometimes very late, often spending a lot longer on screened devices than expected. As a result your nervous system can actually take hours to switch off, even after you’ve put the laptop away. Not to mention the lethargic lack of productivity the next day.

Try to stay away from ‘blue screen’ devices a couple of hours before sleep and engage with an old school approach such as picking up a book (What are they again?)

3. Movement

Movement is important to rescue your posture from being moulded into the shape of a chair. Your organs also require movement in order to function most efficiently and eliminate any senses of restlessness and pent-up emotions that get ‘stuck’ in the body.

By taking regular breaks and moving your body, particularly stepping outside and moving around in nature, you can allow your body and mind the chance to reset. Give it a go! Lunch breaks aren’t just for eating food. It’s the perfect time to move and initiate a change in the middle of your day, ensuring that no matter how tricky your morning was, you have a productive, calm and controlled afternoon ahead to tackle any work problem head on.
