ESTABLISH A CREATIVE WORKSPACE
There are many websites that give tips and advice on how to work from home to help keep you well physically and mentally. We know many are now juggling family and work tasks, and finding it difficult to focus on core work tasks and top-priority matters. A few tips that we have noted:
- Create a dedicated space and working hours. If you have a spouse or housemates also working from home, if possible, try to set up separate
working spaces so you don’t distract one another. - Have a work routine every day, treat it like a real job
- Write down the daily tasks to be achieved, be focused
- Take regular breaks with brief exercise and stretches to keep your body in
shape - Keep your spirits up, working from home can feel lonely. Check in regularly
with your work mates for face to face contact. - Stock your work area with natural, chemical free products you can use to
protect and enhance your wellbeing. A spritz of your favourite mist, like Clean
Air or Lemongrass spray will cleanse and uplift the environment. Diffuse Relax

ELEVATE THE ENERGY OF YOUR SPACE
Make sure your workspace has plenty of natural light to reduce eye strain and tired eyes as the day goes on. Try to place your work area near a window for fresh air. The natural light will refresh you and boost your body’s Vitamin D. While you’re at it, bring the outdoors in and place house plants nearby which energises the environment. And remember to SMILE, a simple way to feel better!
START YOUR DAY REFRESHED - SLEEP WELL
When you are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, sleeping well can be difficult. One of our best ways to reduce stress and recharge is to have a good night’s sleep. Here are a few simple ways to relax before bed to help calm a busy mind. Drink herbal tea after 5pm as caffeine in coffee and tea is energising. Before bedtime, read a book, meditate or have a relaxing bath or foot bath. Reduce time on your handphone. Sleep matters now more than ever, as it allows your body time to repair and strengthen daily.
