6 Steps to Reclaiming Your Wellbeing at Work 👩‍💻🧘‍♀️

1. BYO lunch / prep dinner 🥗 Bringing healthy lunches to work ensures that what you are eating is nourishing and appropriately portioned. A healthy dinner prepped in advance can also be a game changer when you are too tired to cook.

2. Don’t keep junk food at your desk 🫐 Keep healthy snacks at work like nuts, homemade bliss balls, jerky, boiled eggs, fruit, gummies, so that you can avoid having cravings and have a healthy option when you feel hungry.

3. Team up with a colleague 💪 Find someone who is also trying to be their healthiest, fittest self, and keep each other accountable. Saying no to a cupcake at morning tea will be a lot easier if you’re not alone!

4. Move regularly 🧘‍♂️ Sitting for long periods can be detrimental to posture and mobility, as well as negatively affecting your metabolism. Try taking the stairs, getting up and doing some light stretches, and going for short walks outside. Even a quick break from staring at your screen and a bit of fresh air will increase alertness and circulation.

5. Stay hydrated 💦 Dehydration leads to fatigue, hunger, headaches and sugar cravings. If you don’t enjoy water, try adding fruit and herbs to your bottle for flavouring, or opt for herbal teas.

6. Sleep 😴 Sleep is critical to staying healthy in a stressful environment. Without enough sleep, you are not only less productive, but also more likely to get sick, make poor food choices and be less resilient. Prioritise sleep like you would an important meeting and remember that it’s not just about quantity but quality.

Small changes make a big difference. If you can incorporate one new habit each week, you’ll be surprised at the difference it will make to your energy levels, weight management, efficiency and attitude, and you will be well on your way to reclaiming your wellbeing at work!
