🌟Small steps lead to big shifts when it comes to our wellbeing at work🌟 Change can feel daunting, and we can unintentionally get in our own way by placing too much pressure on ourselves to do something radical. But sometimes the smallest changes can produce incredible benefits for our wellbeing. Even more so if we can find ways to hook these things around regular points in our day to help us to translate practice into habit. I challenge you to pick just ONE of these today: 1. *Take Breaks* 🧘♀: Step away from your desk regularly. A short walk or stretch can work wonders for your mental clarity. 2. *Stay Hydrated* 💧: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. It keeps your mind sharp and energy levels high. 3. *Organize Your Space* 📁: A tidy workspace reduces stress and increases productivity. Spend a few minutes each day decluttering. 4. *Practice Mindfulness* 🌿: Incorporate a few minutes of deep breathing or meditation into your routine to stay focused and calm. 5. *Connect with Colleagues* 🤝: A supportive network can make your work environment much more enjoyable. So reach out and make a connection today. You might be surprised at how good it feels. 6. *Eat your greens* 🥦: Make healthy food choices to help your body to support your mind. Ease off of those high sugar processed foods and grab something nourishing instead. 7. *Get moving* 💪: Take the stairs, stretch your arms, go for a walk in your lunch break... whatever tickles your fancy! Movement improves our physical health and mood. 8. *Practice gratitude* 🤝: Challenge yourself to pause and reflect on all of those things in your day for which you are truly thankful. Gratitude practice is liked to joy, so give it a try! 🌟 #WorkplaceWellbeing #WorkplaceWellness #ProductivityHacks #MentalHealthMatters

🌸✨ Wellness Wednesday ✨🌸 with GetUnstuck As we approach the end of May, it's the perfect time to reflect on our progress and make sure we're taking care of ourselves. 🌿💆♀️ Here are a couple of tips to help you maintain your wellbeing both at work and in your personal life: 💼 Work Wellbeing Tip: 1️⃣ Take Short Breaks: Throughout your day, make it a point to step away from your desk for a few minutes. This can be as simple as stretching, a quick walk, or grabbing a coffee. These mini-breaks can significantly boost your focus and productivity. 🚶♂️☕️ 2️⃣ Stay Organized: Keep your workspace tidy and prioritize your tasks. A clear space can lead to a clear mind, helping you feel more in control and less stressed. 📋🖊️ 💫 Personal Wellbeing Tip: 1️⃣ Self-Care Moments: Dedicate some time just for yourself today. Read a chapter of a book, take a leisurely walk in nature, or simply enjoy a quiet cup of tea. These moments of solitude and relaxation are crucial for recharging your energy and maintaining mental health. 📖🌳🍵 2️⃣ Stay Connected: Reach out to a friend or loved one. A quick chat or message can lift your spirits and remind you of the support system you have. 🤗📞 As we wrap up this month, let’s finish strong by prioritizing our minds and bodies.

Enjoying some much-needed time at home today. It’s hard to believe that I used to struggle being at home and the thought of slowing down would fill me with anxiety. Now, I live for these days and have a child who is happiest when at home. How things can come full circle! We’re taking a couple of days to catch up on life after what has been the craziest two months of wholesome fun and busyness. 🤔 How important is balance to you? 🤔 Are you aware when you need a little reset? Finding balance is crucial for our wellbeing. It’s about more than just juggling work, family, and fun; it’s also about taking time for ourselves to rest and recharge. Whether it's spending quality time with loved ones, indulging in a hobby, or simply enjoying the peace of being at home, these moments are essential. Life can get hectic, and it's easy to overlook the importance of balance. However, listening to what your body and mind need is so beneficial for your wellbeing. When we make a conscious effort to slow down and prioritise our mental and emotional health, we can face challenges much easier and with greater resilience.

Staying healthy is (not) an art! In addition to the ability to work in a team, communication skills and time management, one soft skill will become increasingly important in the future in order to shape a successful career in the long term: Mental health. Days of absence due to mental illness have risen almost continuously in Germany since 1997 (source Statista 2024). There are many reasons for this, but the good news is that everyone can do something to maintain their mental health. At Continental, we are constantly developing new concepts as part of our health management programme to ensure that our colleagues are well and that their life-domain balance remains in equilibrium. But even beyond this, small mindfulness measures can have a big impact. Establish routines: clear daily routines and structure bring control and security to the working day. Use breaks: short walks, calming music etc. support regeneration. Find a balance: Leisure activities such as sport, meditation, reading or similar create a counterbalance to the work content. Social breaks: maintaining social contacts such as colleagues or friends supports a sense of belonging. Feedback: by obtaining feedback, needs and expectations become clearer. Which of these tips has had the most positive effect on your health in your everyday working life? Are there any others that have helped you stay healthy? Feel free to share your experiences with the community in the comments. Stay healthy!

Prioritize your wellbeing for a healthier work life 🌱 Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and this year's World Health Organization theme focuses on mental health at work. In the Netherlands, 1 in 5 employees struggle with burnout, and 19% report burnout symptoms. These facts are a reminder that caring for our mental health is super important—personally and for our work life. Although governments and employers have the main responsibility to protect and promote mental health at work, you can also take steps to support your wellbeing. Here are some techniques I use to manage stress and stay more focused, resilient, and balanced: 🏃♂️ Running: A morning run can boost your dopamine levels, reduce stress, and clear your mind. It can help you feel energized and ready for your working day! l love joining run clubs during the weekend...it is a great way to meet like-minded people and be part of a greater community. For expats in the NL 🇳🇱: It is also a good way to make Dutch friends and practice your Dutch language skills. 🧘♀️ Mindfulness: Taking a few minutes desk break for mindfulness can reduce stress and improve concentration. I recommend you meditate for a few minutes or to try the box breathing technique. 🧘 Yoga: It can help you reduce anxiety, manage your emotions, and promote mental flexibility...preparing you to better manage work-related challenges. ❄️ Ice Baths: While it can be a bit intense, ice baths are amazing to boost your mental clarity and build resilience. Now that autumn is here and the winter season is around the corner, you can also try a cold plunge in nature. In Amsterdam, my favorites are Hima Ice Baths, Renessence or Saints & Stars (if you want a more immersive experience with Sauna). I practice these techniques every week and l can tell you it has been a game changer! Do you have any other technique? or how do you usually take care of yourself? If interested in running clubs I can share with you my favorite ones in Amsterdam. Send me a DM :) #MentalHealthMatters #WorkLifeBalance

Every sunset is an opportunity to reset, reflect, recharge, and get ready for the new opportunities tomorrow brings. Time to Reset, Recharge, and Reflect In our fast-paced world, taking a moment to pause is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. This week, I’m stepping back to reset, giving myself the chance to recharge both mentally and physically, and to reflect on the path I’ve traveled and where I’m headed next. Disconnecting for a bit to focus on personal growth and well-being can make a significant difference. It’s an opportunity to gain new perspectives and come back stronger and more focused. Wellbeing is essential for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life. It encompasses both physical and mental health, influencing how we think, feel, and act in our daily lives. Prioritizing wellbeing can lead to improved productivity, creativity, and resilience, enabling us to better manage stress and challenges. I encourage everyone to consider taking some time for themselves, too. Here’s to finding balance and returning with renewed energy and clarity! #Energeticerica #PersonalGrowth #Wellbeing #Mindfulness #ProfessionalDevelopment
