Recent events have turned everyone’s lives upside-down. You might find yourself more stressed than usual while juggling new responsibilities like working from home. In times like these, it’s easy to let things like self-care slip by the wayside. However, taking care of yourself now is more important than ever. Instead of getting overwhelmed, we’re going to show you how to turn working from home to your advantage, and use it as an opportunity to focus on you.
Essential Self-Care Tips When Working At Home
Before we delve into how you can amp up your beauty goals right now, let’s cover the basics first. Most of us probably thought that working from home would be easier than trudging to an office every day, but the truth is, it has its own set of challenges. Scheduling Zoom meetings, collaborating remotely, and managing your time in this new environment takes serious effort. (On a side note: Congratulations for learning all those new skills!) But if you’re not careful, work can take the valuable rest and relaxation time you used to get at home.
With that in mind, here are some essential tips for maintaining that work-life balance while working at home, and for taking care of you:
- Have a designated work area. Sure, it might be tempting to set up your laptop in bed, but keeping work-related activities to one area like a desk or the kitchen table will make it easier to leave it behind when you need a break.
- Stick to a schedule. One of the most common drawbacks of working from home is that it starts to spill over into those hours when you shouldn’t be working. It doesn’t have to be 9-5, but pick a time to start working, and a time to stop.
- Take a break. It’s important to take regular breaks—in fact, doing so can improve your productivity the rest of the time. Also, make sure to take a lunch break. Whether half an hour or more, sitting down to eat is vital for good digestion.
- Snack—healthily. While stuck at home, it’s easy to combat boredom or stress by nibbling throughout the day. It happens, but try to keep the snacks light and healthy. Stick to things that will fuel you up, like fruit, veggies, and nuts.
- Take time to move. Sitting at a desk all day isn’t doing your mood or your body any favors. Try to schedule an at-home workout before or after work, or simply stop a few times throughout the day to walk around, stretch, or play with a pet.
It’s A Good Time To Focus On You
Even though you’re not going out as much lately, there are still plenty of reasons to pursue your beauty goals while working from home. You might live with someone that you want to look good for, or you might want to look your best during all those Zoom meetings. Perhaps the most important reason is that aesthetic treatments are, and always have been, a powerful way of putting yourself first.
It’s also just a good time to take advantage of the world being on hold so you can finally tackle that beauty goal you’ve been meaning to get to. Usually, our schedules are so full that taking the time to go get a facial or a body treatment isn’t practical. Now, however, with clinics safely reopening, you can be sure to put in the proper recovery time to really see the best results from an aesthetic treatment.
Many men and women are already opting to use this time for more thorough self-care, by seeking treatments to improve their overall appearance. It’s a great step towards looking and feeling good while working from home. Plus, when everything goes back to normal you can greet the world with a better you.
