As we enter lockdown 2.0, there’s one thing that’s clear: it’s going to be way harder than the last one! The new strain of covid-19 has filled us with fear, and there’s really no chance we want to step out at all, not even for work. That means we are back to our home workstations.
We know it can be quite depressing, and you must be highly stressed due to the situation. But missy, remember you have to be both mentally and physically strong to deal with this deadly virus. And because you spend almost the entire day on your workstation, you must ensure it’s a healthy space. Do you know why? Because it not only affects your productivity, but also promotes physical and mental well-being.
This is a proven fact that plants can enliven a space and increase your happiness quotient. And if you can get hold of some long-stem flowers, it will prove to be an icing on the cake. That’s because we are well-aware of the fact that flowers exude a positive vibe. They can refresh our mood and help us stay calm.
We know you’re always busy with zoom meetings and phone calls, so much so that you forget to hydrate yourself. Do you know that’s another reason why you experience palpitations and feel stressed? Yes, it happens because your body is dehydrated.
We recommend you keep a big bottle of water on your desk, so you don’t have to rush every now and then to refill it. Just drink it up, and stay energised.
If you are working so hard, you are bound to feel hungry. Our suggestion would be to keep some healthy options like roasted chana, fox nuts or even dry fruits to satiate those hunger pangs. Ditch those fried wafers and other unhealthy snacks today!
Sipping on hot water is recommended to keep covid-19 at bay. Plus, to nourish your body, you also need green tea, at least twice a day. For that, just keep a bottle of hot water around, and you’re sorted.
You must be using a lot of sanitizer or washing your hands at frequent intervals, isn’t it? So, to avoid dry skin, keep a moisturizer handy. In fact, you should also keep sunscreen within reach to protect your skin from the harmful rays, which are emitted from all gadgets.
Backache has been the biggest health concern that has been reported, as a side-effect of the work from home situation. That’s because most of us don’t have proper workstations at home, especially proper chairs. To provide your back proper support, you can very well use a cushion and make a conscious effort to maintain the correct posture.
You might not have paid heed to it, but have you lately felt muscle stiffness, numbness, or soreness in your legs? That’s because at times, our feet are not positioned properly — either, they are hanging midway or they are not properly rested. That’s why you must have an ottoman or a foot rest to help you out.
When it comes to good posture, then your screen must be positioned at a certain angle from your eyes. Even the distance from your hands matters. If your screen doesn’t have a proper angle, you are likely to feel the pain in your neck. That’s why having a laptop stand can help you out.
