Maintaining your wellbeing is often easier when you’re at home or in your free time, but what happens when you’re working? Whether you’re working from home, in an office, or on the go, balancing your wellness routine with the demands of your job can be challenging. However, it’s essential to prioritise your mental health even during your professional life, and there are simple, effective ways to practise wellness at work.
Here are five easy strategies to incorporate mental wellness into your working day.
Taking a moment to check in on your breathing during the day can make a significant difference to your wellbeing. Breathing exercises are accessible, don’t require any equipment, and can be done at your desk or wherever you are.
Set aside a few minutes between emails, after meetings, or at the start of your day to practise deep breathing. These exercises help reduce stress, slow your heart rate, and bring a sense of calm, enabling you to focus better and stay grounded throughout your day.
To make meetings more mindful, consider setting a guideline to avoid using phones or computers where possible.
Encourage yourself and your colleagues to leave phones behind during meetings. If you’re working virtually, move your phone out of reach to stay more engaged. This simple change promotes mindfulness, allowing you to be fully present and focus on the discussion at hand, rather than being distracted by notifications.
You don’t need hours of meditation to practise mindfulness. Small moments of mindfulness can be woven into everyday tasks.
Whether you’re making a cup of tea, washing your hands, or eating a snack, take a minute to slow down and pay attention to your actions. By focusing on the task and practising deep breathing, you’ll step out of autopilot and reconnect with the present moment.
Taking regular breaks throughout the day is essential for maintaining mental and physical wellbeing. Set reminders on your phone or computer to encourage you to step away from your desk.
Even a five or fifteen-minute break to stretch, go for a walk, or practise short meditation can recharge you. You could also invite colleagues to join you, either in person or virtually, for these short wellness breaks. Engaging in wellness together can boost motivation and make it easier to stay on track.
Incorporating mindful movement into your day can be as simple as taking a walk.
Whether you’re walking to a meeting, heading to the coffee machine, or taking a break to get some fresh air, practise mindful walking by paying attention to your body and surroundings. Focus on each step, breathe deeply, and take in the environment around you. This can help you stay present, reduce stress, and even inspire new ideas as you take a mental break from your to-do list.
