Balancing Work and Wellness: How to Thrive While Working from Home

WITH THE COVID-19 crisis consuming the world, it has forced everyone to change their normal habits. Only days ago, people enjoyed working alongside their colleagues, socialising in the comfort of shared office space. Today the pandemic has left millions of the population working from home, plugged-in via their mobiles and laptops.

Stay connected

It’s easy to feel alone during self-isolation, away from the buzz you get from your colleagues at work. So, stay in touch with them, and your friends as much as time allows you. Make calls to break up the day and make self-isolation less of a bore – especially if you’ve had enough of listening to your family get at each other’s throats!

Create a workspace

Working in a small flat or tight space means it not always possible to set-up a dedicated workstation. But you can turn your breakfast table into a workstation and set it up with your laptop as you would if you were at the office, with everything you need set out as you are used to – a simple visual to trick the brain into thinking its time to work. Also, make sure you get up and get ready as though you are heading for work.

Stay in the zone

Being at home means there are distractions everywhere, to stop you from having a productive day’s work. TV household chores or simply chilling make it really hard to get into the work zone. It’s crucial to find ways to stay focussed and keep a morning routine to get you ready to work in the home office. Turn off laptop notifications and your phone so you can’t be distracted.

Move your Body

Without your regular commute or walk and the lack of exercise due to self-isolation, it can cause your fat levels to increase. Buy a rebounder: it will assist a little thing inside of you that can help you burn more fat. It’s a very special enzyme called hormone-sensitive lipase which can virtually bust fat deposits. Rebounding helps your body release more lipase to burn fat and make the body leaner and fitter. www.jumpga.com

Eat & drink sensibly

Be careful not to graze all day long – having a fully stocked fridge makes it sorely tempting to snack throughout the day. Intermittent fasting increases the levels of fat loss enzymes and hormones in the body. Intermittent fasting turbo-charges fat loss and boosts up two very crucial fat burning enzymes in the body: the muscle-tissue based ipoprotein lipase and our friend hormone-sensitive lipase. They both catapult the fat burning function by stimulating the cells to take up fat.
