Small Habits That Improve Mental Health
Working from home can be a challenge when it comes to maintaining a healthy routine. It's easy to fall into habits that don't benefit our mental or physical health. Here are some recommendations to improve your daily life and feel more in harmony.

Eat a Proper Breakfast

One of the first steps to having a great day is waking up early and preparing a healthy breakfast. This habit not only gives you energy, but it also helps you maintain a routine. Avoid waking up five minutes before a meeting; instead, give yourself time to get ready and start your day peacefully.

Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is essential and, no! We're not talking about constant tea breaks. Try to always keep a water bottle nearby and set reminders if necessary. Drinking water regularly improves concentration and overall well-being.

Work With Breaks

It's important to take regular breaks during your work day. The Pomodoro Technique is an excellent tool for this: work for 25 minutes and take a 5-minute break. After four cycles, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes. Tools like Endel can help you schedule these work and rest periods effectively.

Stretch

During your breaks, take time to stretch and move around. Professor Elena Malova on YouTube has many movement routine videos ranging from 10 minutes and up. Incorporating these exercises into your day will help you reduce stress and improve your physical health.

Get Out of the House

Desky has more than 150 workspaces throughout Argentina. Find the one closest to you and shake up your routine by working in a new location. In these spaces, you'll find ergonomic chairs, environments designed for productivity, and most importantly, the opportunity to meet new people. Getting out of the house and working in a different setting can revitalize your day and improve your overall well-being.

Adopting these small habits can make a big difference in your mental health and overall well-being. #StartToday
