 Get Out of Bed!

Without your regular commute, the temptation to stay in bed until the last minute is strong. Start your day off on the right foot by getting out of bed at least 30 minutes before starting your workday. Use that time to get ready, eat breakfast, and whatever else you normally do before heading into the office.

Having a productive morning, instead of just rolling out of bed, goes a long way in making you feel ready to tackle your inbox.

Pro Tip: If you find yourself in need of an extra boost, adding B-12 can be just the vitamin you need to keep you going!† Just because you’re working from home doesn’t mean you should let your wellness routine suffer. Keep up with your vitamins and supplements to make sure your wellness goals stay on track! 

 Establish a Dedicated Workspace

One of the biggest challenges you face while working from home is separating your work life from your home life. Having a dedicated workspace helps with that. Pick a spot in your home that you can set up as a workstation. Whether it’s a separate room or just a portion of your dining room table, having a dedicated area to work goes a long way in helping you separate work from home.

Pro Tip: Find your work zen. Diffusing your favorite essential oils can help refresh your space and inspire you. We recommend something bright and energizing like Orange Sweet Oil or calm and relaxing like Lavender Oil.

 Prioritize Your Tasks

Planning your day in advance helps ensure you’re staying on top of your work. With distractions all around, it can be easy to get derailed and behind on your workload. Make a daily goal list and stick with it! Whether you’re writing your tasks down, creating a spreadsheet, or setting reminders on your phone/calendar, it’s important to develop a schedule to keep yourself on task.

Take a Break

As important as keeping on task is, it’s just as important to take breaks.  Schedule a meeting with yourself for at least a ½ hour for some “me” time – stretch, take a walk, or do something to get your body moving. This helps break up the day and keeps you motivated.

Pro Tip: Add a little sunshine to your day with Vitamin D! Working from home may mean for some that you’re not getting outside as much as you normally do and you’re losing out on beneficial sunshine! Adding a supplement to your routine ensures you’re getting the amount of Vitamin D you need, even with less time outside†

Focusing on self-care is just as important as showering your significant others, family, and friends with love. That’s why we’ve created a quick list of tips that will help you feel great all year long.

Be Active

The easiest way to feel good fast? Get your sweat on! Even if you don’t have the time to devote an hour to a good workout, try going for a walk, doing yoga, or even just taking a few minutes to stretch.

Pro Tip: Block out time on your calendar and treat it like you would any other important meeting. Don’t cancel on yourself!

Take Care of your Heart & Soul!

We HEART Omegas! Omegas are beneficial fatty acids that are supportive of your wellness goals. With so many types to choose from, it can be hard to figure out what will best work for you and your routine. Here are our favorites:

Hemp Oil is a wonderful, plant-based source of Omegas 3, 6, and 9, which makes these hearty seeds a great addition to your daily routine.

Fish Oil is a powerful source of Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which may reduce the risk of Coronary Heart Disease.** And really, what better way is there to show yourself some love!

**Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Unwind & Destress

Life is hectic, there’s no doubt about it. Take a few minutes to center yourself and find some peace in your otherwise chaotic day. Just close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths – you’ll thank us later.

Pro Tip: Diffusing essential oils like Lavender while meditating can go a long way in helping you find a deep sense of tranquility.
