Incorporating Self-Care Into Your Workday

With a full inbox and crammed to-do list, taking care of ourselves can be a second thought during a busy workday. In honor of World Mental Health Day on October 10th, we wanted to share a few easy tips to implement self-care seamlessly into your day.

Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is paramount to your health. Not only is it key to your physical health, but science has shown that drinking water helps with production of the “happy chemical” serotonin.

Give yourself a break: Feeling overwhelmed? Give yourself a minute to take some deep breaths, take a walk, or use a meditation app like Calm or Headspace. Take this a step further by incorporating simple mindfulness practices to maximize your reset time. 

Get some fresh air: Whether it’s walking instead of driving to your favorite lunch spot, taking a call outside or opting for a fresh air WFH space, consider incorporating the great outdoors into your workday. 

Even dedicating small amounts of time throughout the day can have a big impact on your mental wellbeing. Always remember to prioritize your mental health and reach out for help from a licensed professional if you feel as though you need additional support.
