Ways to Live Actively at Work

It is possible to stay active in business life. With the simplest movements, you can accelerate your blood flow and move the day beyond staying in a stable order. One of these trends is the desks that disrupt the stability and stability in the workplace: New types of desks that allow you to work standing up. And being at home brought by the pandemic conditions, it has been possible for many of us to listen to a long meeting or attend a training while walking. These are positive and viable changes.

Stress management

Healthy habits can be your savior under stress. Crisis management, project timings, important presentations will stress you out, and it's always a good and relaxing idea to have healthy habits to reduce that stress. There may be changes in our eating habits, especially during times of intense stress.

Active ways to deal with stress

In a certain time frame, doing business, managing and being effective in presentations and meeting expectations can be more stressful than we think. It is very important to have an active life and to eat healthy for the management of this stress.

Even if it is impossible to keep the timing, if there is an important project that we need to complete, it is not very possible to leave your desk. On the other hand, your body has started to contract from stress, so start making small movements; Pulling the shoulders up and down, making circles, making circles with your feet to unlock the joints, pulling your legs towards your stomach and stretching them forward without getting up from your seat will accelerate your blood flow, thus allowing you to relax a little.

If we are managing or producing stressful projects that are not in competition with time, one of the most basic steps to relax you in this working order may be to do yoga or pilates. These basic series of movements will accelerate your blood flow and regulate your hormones, thus providing long-term relief.

We were all participants in successive meetings, which forced us to sit on the couch. In such cases,

Stretch your neck: Add up and down tilt movement and 2-3 second pauses at the end of each movement, in the same way, rest your neck for 2-3 seconds at the last point where flexibility allows for left and right movements.

Squeeze your hips for 5-6 seconds and release again, repeat this 2-3 times.

Take little laps around the table, please feel free to do that, if you just say to people I need to get my blood flowing, it will suffice.

Extend your toes forward. You can repeat this 5-6 times for each foot.

Press your feet flat on the floor and push your heels up and release. Repeat this several times.

Tighten your abdominal muscles by exhaling, relax by taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, and repeat again 3-4 times.

Tilt your hips while sitting, and move your hips forward and backward without compromising the alignment and integrity of your spine, while maintaining your upright position.

Another suggestion that will reduce stress at work and guide your active life is to reshape your communication with your colleagues on the basis of action.

Establishing healthy routines with coworkers

It is possible to establish healthy routines with your colleagues, both to improve your relationship, and to include staying healthy in daily routines and making it ordinary.

Train together

You can attend a yoga class together, and joint activities such as jogging group can be done.

Eating healthy

You can get culinary/cooking training about healthy living, you can try and share simple recipes together.

Take a walk

During the day, you can spend your coffee break or other small breaks by walking.

We said that an active life at work is possible and I shared many examples with you. We generally perceive routines as a habit of the environment, for example, you don't have to be in sportswear and on the beach to go for a walk. Most people think that they can be active if the conditions are as described, and they do not take action unless these conditions are met. This is not true, it is necessary to distinguish between moving and doing sports.
