Health in the Workplace

We start our days with the best of intentions. 

We're going to drink 8 glasses of water.  We're going to work out at the gym.  We are going to eat a healthy lunch.

We sit down at our desk and the phone rings.  Then emails come in.  The IM chatbox starts blinking.

And the cycle begins.

Before we know it, an hour has passed.  And we've not stretched or had any water.  Glancing at the clock, in 15 minutes we will take a break.  But another email.  Another phone call.  There's always "just one more".

We have to make a point to get up and stretch.  Set an alarm on the smart phone if need be.  Set an alarm for a reminder to check your water intake.  Walk outside and get some fresh air.  Just 5 minutes of breathing deep in nature can really uplift your whole mood.

I've found if I take MY health and wellbeing seriously while I am working, I am more productive, more energetic, more focused and have a much better attitude when challenges come along.  I've also found I best do this by exchanging things I already do, for something a little bit better.

For example, I'm a BIG coffee fan.  That is how I start my morning.  And my afternoon. And my evening.  It's not so much the caffeine to get me going...I'm good with decaf too!  I just like coffee.  Since I know this is a "non-negotiable" in my morning, why not make a simple exchange for a Keto Coffee that will give me extra benefits of MCT oil, grass-fed butter and carb control while I'm sipping??

Then I think to myself, if I'm already drinking my yummy keto coffee, others might be interested in making this exchange too!  Or even want to be able to share it with their co-workers.

I can exchange a glass of my daily water for one with added ketones.  That will help eliminate those extra pounds that like to hang around from so many hours of sitting per day.

It doesn't matter if we're working in a corner office, the corner deli, a cubicle or at home, we have to pay time and attention to keeping ourselves healthy and well so we can be our best!
