The environment where you work at home can also make a big difference in your health and wellbeing. Here are some things you can change in your environment for your health:

Setting up your workspace – Make sure your workspace is set up for focus and productivity, including a desk or table that is comfortable, all the accessories you need to get work done, proper lighting, and a way to cancel out noise or distractions. Check out my Instagram post on love your workspace on February 18^th for some great items that you should include in your workspace.

Having healthy resources at home – It is also good to have resources available to you at home to improve your health if this is a priority. This might be nutritious food and snacks, home workout accessories, or just some house plants in your office to get you in the healthy mindset.

Designated break areas – Taking a break at home is a little different from a traditional workplace, since you are already in your relaxing place. This is why having a designated workspace AND a designated place to take your breaks is so essential.

8. Your Work-Life Balance

Everyone needs a good work-life balance, whether you work from home or out of the home. But it tends to be a little more complicated when your home is also your office.

One of the best things you can do for your work-life balance when you work from home is to have a schedule that tells you when you start work, and when you stop. Avoid bringing your laptop to the couch or your bed to get work done before or after your work day is meant to begin.

This small change in addition to having a separate workspace will make a big difference in your work-life balance and with your significant even if that significant other has four legs and a tail.

9. Health Pitfalls to Avoid

Next, I want to share some pitfalls to avoid when you are on a health journey that I see way to often and quit honestly irk me:

Going on a restrictive diet – Many people think that to eat healthy, they need to be on a diet. This is just not true! If Change your mindset from what you need to take away from your diet to what you can add in to improve the nutrients and fuel your body, you will win every time without dieting.

Focusing on the wrong things – When it comes to your health, it is more about how you feel, not what you think you should be doing. This goes for everything you do at home, from your physical activity and what you eat, to the information you consume and what your routine looks like.

Feeling like you aren’t doing enough – Any small change you make or healthy habit you incorporate into life is going to improve your physical health and wellbeing. It is enough and you are enough.

10. Are You Ready to Be Healthier?

Let’s summarize this up- are you ready to be healthier at home and to make sure you are ready and on the right path?

Then ponder on these:

Small habits for big changes – Remember that it is not about changing your entire life if you want to be healthier. Just choose some smaller daily habits and know that those will benefit you greatly.

Find your motivation – What motivates YOU to be healthier might not motivate anyone else. Be honest with yourself about what you are trying to achieve.

Set health goals – Lastly, set some goals for yourself when it comes to your health. Know what you are trying to improve? Why you want to improve it? And know what you’re struggling with right now? The more specific your answers are, the easier they will be to achieve.
