Set a routine
If you’re working from home and managing children at home too, it can be difficult to find a balance and routine. But establishing a routine with your children can be a great way to feel more in control of the situation. Even if it starts as just setting realistic goals each day, for example cooking tea or a 15 minute walk. It can give you a bit more structure and encourage productivity throughout the day.
Find time to switch off
Finding time for yourself is so important, being able to have your own down time can be so beneficial, whether it’s on an evening by yourself or on your lunch. Creating time for yourself can allow you to reconnect with yourself and not get lost within the hustle and bustle of everything else.
Exercise
Exercise is evidently beneficial in so many different ways. It can improve mental health, energise us and give us more routine to our day. Whether it’s a run, walk or a workout – it can help put you in a good mind set and release those endorphins to uplift you.
It can be difficult to keep positive during these testing times but hopefully following these tips will provide a bit of support.
