Feeling stuck in a rut with no way to turn it around? A Newsweek article further emphasizes this point with this study outcome: “American workers found that despite the rise of corporate wellness programs, disengagement at the office costs the US $550 billion each year, and work-related stress tacks on an additional $300 billion.” Wow! What can be done to change all this? Chair massage for one idea. Read on!
As Fall is now here, office workers can harness the change in season to allow for increased energy and interest in new habits with minimal energy and cost. With this new season of Fall, it is time to go inward to determine new habits which will increase our well-being. As humans typically follow nature, “a sense of renewal (with a new season) gives us the vision and inspiration to bring our goals and creative energy to fruition.”
Here are some simple tips that may bring satisfaction and change with minimal effort and HUGE pay-offs.
How to Keep Healthy and Joyful During Autumn:
- Schedule Corporate onsite chair massage when employees return to the corporate office: Professional chair massage has many benefits (increased productivity, physical relaxation, greater flexibility, and decreased stress) with minimal cost. Many Human Resource departments are keen to bring new and exciting wellness programs onsite. It only takes one email or phone call to inquire about this type of program!
- Movement: Warmer weather brings sunny days and the desire to get outside for a few minutes during lunch or the following work. Why not start a weekly walking group?
- Create Order: Familiar with the term “spring cleaning?” Many often take to order by cleaning up and removing items that are no longer of use. Clean desktops often bring satisfaction and order to a sometimes busy workday or week.
- Diet changes: Fall allows for fresher foods and healthier options both in and outside of our work environments such as apples, root veggies, etc. Anytime is a great time to join a local community-supported agriculture program. With COVID, more companies deliver to your door!
- New beginnings: Try onsite chair massage, a local yoga class, or outdoor activities like tennis or golf to enjoy nature in a different way.
- Hydration: Increasing our water intake helps to rid the body of that sluggish feeling. Drinking fluids can help remove waste, control our blood pressure, body temperature, and heart rate. An easy option for those working at a desk during normal business hours!
- Pay it forward: Small acts of random kindness can delight and surprise people throughout a busy work week. Why not start a habit like this?
ESCAPE. EXPERIENCE. ENJOY!
