Take your lunch break away from your desk to go for a walk, run, exercise, or spend time with friends. Create a to-do list to feel a sense of accomplishment from completing tasks and to better manage your workload. Take short breaks from work to walk around, play ping pong, or chat with coworkers to reduce stress. Listen to music at work which releases feel-good chemicals in the brain. Use your commute for winding down activities and try to exercise on the way home. Maintain a healthy work-life balance with after-work activities like exercise, cooking healthy meals, learning something new, and spending time with loved ones. If struggling, ask for help from your manager or coworkers.

FIVE TIPS FOR WELLBEING AT WORK

2. Take your lunch break
If you’re a fiend for spending your lunch break
at your desk, STOP! Try one of these things
instead:
• Go for a walk – there’s so many stunning
spots near here
• Go for a run or do some exercise
• Go for lunch with a friend or coworker
• Make the most of the ping pong table
• Head to the breakout space with a good
book (or Netflix - but limit screen time)

3. Start a To Do list
There’s nothing more therapeutic than
ticking something off the list. This also
allows you to see what you’re actually
achieving.
Rank in order of priority & start with the
higher priority tasks instead of putting them
off.
At the end of each day, write one for the
next day.
When your thoughts are down on paper,
you’ll find it easier to not think about work
when you go home.

4. Take a break
Stuck on a piece of work? Challenging
client?
Get away from your desk for 5 minutes.
Walk round the block or grab one of
the team to play ping pong or for a
chat.
As little as a 10-minute chat can
make us feel better and help
manage stress levels

5. Listen to music
Listening to music causes your brain to
release dopamine, a feel-good chemical.
If you struggle to listen to lyrics while
you work, try one of these Spotify
playlists…
- Music for Concentration
- Peaceful Piano
- Deep Focus

6. Use your commute wisely
Read a book or listen to your music – the
perfect wind down.
If you can, incorporate exercise by
cycling or walking. If you get the bus
home, try getting off a stop early and
enjoy a longer walk.
These little actions can really help you to
switch off.

7. Out of work
Exercise – Find something you enjoy.
Walk a dog, go hiking, try yoga, dance
class, climbing, trampolining….
Eat well
Learn something new
Keep in touch with friends and family
Be kind to yourself
Just be – practice mindfulness

8. What to do if you’re struggling
ASK FOR HELP
Speak to your manager.
Or, if you feel more comfortable, speak to one of
your fellow team mates.

9. Remember, we’re a team!
