Ways to Sneak Wellness Into Your Work Day

 
 
Daily workouts can be quite difficult to fit into the busy schedule, and often, this causes us to throw our hands up and give up altogether.  We can frequently have an all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to exercise, but this way of thinking is harming our health — so, let’s put it to rest today, and let’s talk about how we can do that. 
A workout doesn’t have to mean an hour and a half of sweating at the gym.  We can find ways to sprinkle wellness into our everyday lives, and we can even fit wellness into our workday.   
Here are a few ways to focus on wellness during your workday…  
Think about your transport methods 
Your workday essentially begins as soon as you leave your home in the mornings.  If at all possible, you could walk or cycle to work instead of using public transportation or your car.  Not only is this great exercise, but it’ll also allow you to start your day off in a much calmer way, rather than stuck in traffic.  If your workplace is too far to choose this plan, decide to park as far away from the building as possible.  Doing so will create the opportunity to walk a bit further, getting some extra steps in.  Also, ditch the elevator and take the stairs.  You’ll be amazed at the difference it’ll make over time! 
Make your office space greener 
An excellent way to lighten your mood at work is to make your workspace comfortable and inviting.  Find some plants that don’t need a lot of sunlight and add as many as you’d like to your office area.  Live plants will also assist in cleansing the air in your office, which is an added benefit to the beautiful scenery.  Aside from the greenery, keeping your office space clutter-free will help you feel more productive and less stressed.  So, creating an organization routine you can maintain will help keep your office space running smoothly.  Don’t forget the photos of your loved ones to lift your spirits, along with positive affirmations to visit daily! 
 
 
Work on your posture  
Good posture is a conscious effort we must make, especially when we slouch in office chairs for most of the day.  I know, I know — it’s more comfortable usually — but the long-term effects are not.  If you need a better chair, it is well worth the investment.  Look up ergonomic chairs and visit your local office supply store to try some out in person.  Good posture will assist you in concentrating better, and lessen those back aches you take home with you daily.   
Make use of your lunch break  
It’s time to stop working through your lunch break while you munch on a snack from the vending machine.  One of the best ways to add wellness into your workday is to bring a healthy lunch.  It doesn’t take much effort to make meals for the week on a Sunday afternoon — so head on over to Pinterest and look up some new, delicious looking healthy lunches you can start taking with you.  If there’s time, squeeze in a 10-minute walk after you eat for better digestion and a clearer mind.   
 
 
Always have healthy snacks nearby  
I get it — sometimes when you’re racing against the clock to meet a deadline, you crave a sugar boost to keep you going.  Keeping healthy snacks in your office will help curb your snack cravings while not having to resort to the vending machine.  Dried fruit, nuts, dark chocolate or healthy granola bars are great options that will keep in your desk without going bad. 
Don’t forget to drink your water 
Ah, water.  It’s often so undervalued, but it is truly essential.  Staying hydrated will help your focus and give you natural energy.  Dehydration is one of the leading causes of tiredness, headaches, and cravings.  So, be sure to keep the water flowing throughout the day.  You won’t regret it.   
These are simple ways to begin implementing wellness into your workday every day.  You’ll find that the positive changes will reveal themselves quickly, and you’ll crave the good feelings, wanting more.  It’s not about perfection — true wellness is about finding ways to fit it into your schedule, and about making the best choice available with what you’re given.    
 
I’m terrible at staying hydrated so I always make sure I have my stainless Yet knock off tumbler. I love the fact that it doesn’t sweat and stays super cold. I also love the stainless straw too because the liquid stays cold right up to your lips!   And of course it has to have the Maskcara logo and “Get Out There Gorgeous” tagline 🙂
 
What are a few ways you plan to add some wellness into your workday?

Now is the perfect time to learn to be more self-s Now is the perfect time to learn to be more self-sustaining. With the empty shelves in the grocery store due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it's a sobering time to take pause and realize where we can take more control in our lives. One way, for me, is understanding how simple and feasible it is to grow your own food, even on a windowsill in your kitchen. 
There are several foods that you can regrow quickly from the scraps you typically throw away -- such as celery, green onions, romaine lettuce, and leeks, to name a few.  No garden necessary.  You can start the regrowth on your kitchen windowsill, and move them into pots to leave on your porch or balcony. If you have a yard suitable for a garden, even better! 
Do you currently grow any food at home? 
If so, what?
