Merrill Physical Therapy

We're raising awareness about employees’ well-being as we celebrate National Employee Wellness Month! 🙌 Here are a few ways to overcome stress and put a positive spin on your day 😁:

✅️ Take Deep Breaths for an easy 3-5 minute exercise, sit up in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and hands on top of your knees. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply. Deep breathing oxygenates your blood.
✅️ Exercise causes your body to release endorphins, and it helps clear the mind. Get up and walk for a few minutes. If you can’t leave your desk, stretch! Stretching is a therapeutic exercise.
✅️ Eat Right and avoid sugary, fatty snack foods. Fruits and vegetables are always a good, healthy option. Keep several at your desk and enjoy them.
✅️ Listen to Music, playing calm music has a positive effect on the brain and body. If you are feeling overwhelmed, take a small break and listen to your favorite tune. One recommendation is listening to the ocean or nature sounds.
✅️ Schedule Time with family or friends to combat stress and/or loneliness by calling or meeting them after work. Schedule a group lunch or outing and have it on your calendar as something to look forward to.
