5 WorkplaceWellness Tips

Take a Walk1

Walking takes you away from your desk (literally) and allows your mind to relax and think about things besides work.

And the physical activity doesn’t hurt either.

Also, a recent study suggests that it can improve mood and enthusiasm and ease nervousness at work.

Time Your Breaks2

Taking breaks throughout your workday can re-energize your mind and increase productivity.

In fact, due to our ultradian rhythm, our brains can only truly focus on something for 90 to 120 minutes at a time.

Protect Yourself & Your CoworkersAgainst Germs

3

Did you know that when you sneeze, the germs can spread up to eight feet?

So even if you steer clear of others when you’re sick, the potential to infect others is still there.

If you are sick, stay home and rest so germs don’t spread.

While at work, wash your hands and keep your desk clean — toss that coffee mug in the dishwasher every night!

Rest Your Eyes4

...And we don’t mean by taking a nap.

Staring at a computer screen all day can be hard on the eyes, so rub your hands together quickly to generate heat then put them over your closed eyes.

The pressure and the heat will soothe your eyes and give them a well-deserved break!

De-Stress5

Work can be stressful at times, so make sure to prioritize tasks according to deadlines.

Set reasonable timelines to get your work done to avoid the stress of being late with work.

Still can’t seem to unwind? The University of Maryland Medical Center suggests taking vitamin C to help lower the physical and mental effects of stress.
