Although many offices have opened their doors and stopped the unending train of work from home, others are yet to get off the board. This Supposed preventative measure for the ongoing pandemic has left the working-class people feeling over-worked and monotonous. Which in turn is leaving a mark on your health and wellness. So to elevate your mood and spirit here are 5 tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle while working from home.
- Setup a Comfortable Workspace: Setting up a space that is just for your work is ideal. It ensures your optimum effort without many distractions. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be comfortable as well. Arrange a space with a desk and an office chair that you find comfortable, preferably ergonomic. Set up a computer on it in a direction that does not strain your neck.
- Take Breaks in Between: Continuously sitting on your chair and staring at the screen, is not doing anyone a favor. Try taking regular breaks to stretch the legs, have a snack, move around, or maybe do a short yoga pose to keep your body active and mind sharp. Don’t let monotony set in.
- Maintain a Proper Schedule: This is important to keep your body on track. That means no more late-night movie marathons or late-night snacks. Have lunch every day at a fixed time. And if necessary add an alarm on your phone 45mins-1hour before actual lunchtime to prepare the lunch.
- Say No To Overtime: You might feel like since you are stuck at home, might as well get few more things done. But this is not healthy. You should establish a boundary between work life and personal life. After you log out do not respond to anything work-related.
- You Come First: Juggling work and personal life can feel very daunting. That’s why it is important to make a space in your schedule for some “me time”. This will be the tie you either spend doing what you love, drawing, jogging, reading, or just relax and have a home spa day. Do whatever you need to do, to destress yourself.
These tips might seem basic but are very effective. Even if you knew these before, take this as a reminder and make the necessary changes to your lifestyle. Make sure to always relax while working from home. And as it’s said before, You come first.
