𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁? 🌞 Whether you’re going abroad, taking a road trip to explore the countryside, or simply planning on relaxing with your family at home, taking time to rest and recharge is essential for staying happy and healthy. 🙌 Holidays can help revitalise our health, refresh our minds, and boost our overall wellbeing! However, a staggering 1 in 5 workers (22%) reportedly work while on holiday, either in the UK or abroad, which stops them from getting their much-needed break. 😩 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱! #EmployeeWellbeing #HealthAndWellbeing #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthAwareness #Wellbeing #OccupationalHealth #WorkplaceWellness

It’s the start of #QueenslandWalksMonth, which encourages everyone to make walking a part of their daily routine.    I love to walk – I do it almost every day with my dogs, colleagues, friends, family and or just by myself to get some me time.    Walking is good for our bodies, it’s good for our minds and it’s good for our soul! But recently I’ve been thinking a lot about who gets to walk, roll or stroll in the spaces around us.    Poor health is often the result of people living in environments or situations that don’t support healthy habits. And with only half of Australian adults getting enough physical activity, it’s clear more needs to be done to reclaim our spaces and our time to move.    This #QueenslandWalksMonth, I promise to keep walking with my mind open to how I can make it easier for others to walk, roll or stroll – and I invite you to do the same.    Here are some ideas to get us all started:  * Keep the footpaths clear of obstacles including bins and e-scooters  * Invite others on walking dates to get you both moving  * Have your shoes ready at any time to walk just in case you get a chance at the last minute * Consider your work meetings to see if one can be converted into a walking meeting * Introduce a daily #HourOfPower to your workplace that gives employees the scheduled time to switch off and move (we have this Health and Wellbeing Queensland and it’s excellent)  * Sign up to the free 10,000 Steps program and form a team to keep each other motivated    If you have ideas on how to support this #QueenslandWalksMonth, I’d love to hear them!

One of the best things about working in the NHS is the ability to enjoy weekends off—a huge difference that can make all the impact on our overall well-being. It’s essential to recharge. Take that time to go out, relax, explore new places, and connect with friends. A balanced life not only keeps our minds sharp but also helps us return to work with fresh energy, ready to make a difference. Your time off matters just as much as your time at work. Take care of yourself so you can continue to take care of others. #WorkLifeBalance #NHSLife #MentalHealthMatters #TimeToRecharge #Wellbeing

The holidays bring more than just cheer - they also bring a mountain of admin work that keeps us on our toes. 🏥✍️ While others bake cookies, we’re juggling patient care, paperwork, and (hopefully) some family time. At Lucens, we’re here to support doctors who are navigating these challenges every day. 💡 How do you manage to strike the right balance between work and personal life during the holiday season? Let’s discuss👇 #ForDoctorsByDoctors #HolidayHustle #WorkLifeBalance #LucensCommunity

I've seen firsthand the difference ongoing wellness challenges make. It's more than gym memberships or annual wellness days - it's about fostering an environment where employees feel supported in all aspects of wellness. Studies consistently show a clear link between that kind of support and increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and higher engagement. Investing in wellness is a smart business strategy with tangible results.

For all of you hard workers out there… it’s Workaholics Day tomorrow. 

 You know what that means. It’s time to REST.

 As we celebrate the 4th of July, let’s focus on something we ALL need: balance.

 For those of us living with chronic illnesses, balancing both a career and life responsibilities is like walking a tightrope over a canyon. Every step requires great care and effort. 
 But I want you to remember this: you deserve rest, AND the necessary accommodations to feel supported at work. Here are two tips to help you find that balance: 

 1️⃣ Communicate Your Needs: Be open with your employer about your health. Setting clear boundaries can help create a more manageable workload. 
 2️⃣ Make Time for You: Schedule breaks throughout your day to recharge. Whether it's a few minutes of stretching or a quiet moment with a good book, small acts of self-care can make a big difference. I hope you take some quiet, balanced time for yourself today.😴

 How are you spending your holiday?
