Do you know what the phrase “staying fit” doesn’t mean?

Staying fit doesn’t mean you must exhaust yourself in the gym daily. After being cooped up in the house for a couple of years, many people like the idea of living an active lifestyle.

If you’re an introvert, you may cringe at this next statement, but it is the truth…

We are social creatures by nature!

Staying healthy helps you maintain the level of social ability that supports your efficiency as a productive member of society. In turn, being productive allows you to reach for your dreams and exceed your own expectations!

So, where do you get all this energy to attack every obstacle that may come your way?

Let’s find out.

4 Ways To Stay Active at Home

The pandemic showed us that many people could efficiently complete outstanding work from the comfort of their homes. The real question is…

When does the line become blurred between work-life balance and a sedentary lifestyle?

Fortunately, you won’t have to worry about slipping too far into the latter if you follow the advice below!

1. Find Time to Move Daily

The importance of exercise while working from home is paramount to your short-term and long-term health.

You can break up your activity throughout the day or set aside a specific time. Ideally, you should aim for 30-45 minutes of physical activity.

Try to incorporate whatever physical movement excites you the most!

Wholesome daily exercises include:

• Yoga or Pilates in your home office

• Running/Jogging/Walking around your neighborhood

• Lifting weights or body weights in your office

• Swimming on your lunch break

• Gardening on your lunch break

• Home chores on your lunch break

2. Water, Water, and More Water!

Even though you probably hear this a lot, really let it sink in this time! No pun intended…

Staying hydrated throughout the day plays an extremely important role in your ability to maintain a high level of functionality.

Stock plenty of water in your home office for easy retrieval. Set a reminder on your phone that alerts you to drink water every hour. There are plenty of apps that can assist you to drink more water.

Some mental symptoms of dehydration may include:

• Depression

• Fatigue

• Moodiness

3. Make Your Home Office A Healthy Sanctuary

There’s no doubt that you spend a decent chunk of time in your home office. Why not organize this space in a way that supports optimal comfort and your ideal workflow?

Focusing on design aspects such as your chair, desk, computer height, and monitor position will all help you maintain the best posture throughout your workday. Great posture leads to chronic back pain prevention.

You have an entire life to live that exists beyond your desk! You don’t want to stunt your ability to see the world because of the pain you’ve inflicted through constantly poor posture and intense eye strain.

4. Detach From The Dynamics

As a minimalist, this concept may provide you with a high level of comfort.

When you follow a daily routine that contains hydration and mental clarity, you can reduce the amount of stress-inducing variability that sometimes has a way of creeping into your life. Ensure you have a plan for the next day no later than the night before.

This will allow you to feel accomplished, deliberate, and efficient in every task you successfully complete. This also leaves time for you to unwind and recharge.
