Workplace & Wellbeing Data Scientist with ART Health Solutions

"Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." 🧘♂️ In honour of Mental Health Awareness Week, I took some much-needed time to myself, embracing the stunning scenery and vibrant culture of beautiful Mallorca. 🌴 Working in health & wellbeing, I understand the profound impact that taking time to unwind and recharge can have on our mental health. While in Mallorca, I managed to keep active, soaking in the breath-taking landscapes, enjoying the local food, and spending quality time with my family. It was a perfect blend of healthy living and scenic exploration, reminding me of the simple joys of being active and present in the moment. This getaway served as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care. In our busy lives, it's easy to overlook the necessity of taking breaks and nurturing our own wellbeing. Yet, these moments of pause and reflection are crucial for maintaining our mental health and overall happiness. Our recent workplace data at ART Health Solutions supports this mindset: ● A progressive increase in happiness and productivity on days where we take more steps – 3% happier taking 8,000-10,000 steps, an additional 3% happier taking 10,000-12,000 steps, and another 2% happier when achieving more than 12,000 steps in a day (an overall 8% increase in happiness compared to <8,000 steps!).  ● Having an active break during the working day can positively impact your energy levels – 88% of participants in a sprint study felt less tired after an active break. ● Incorporating an active part of your commute can help increase activity, improve sleep, and enhance performance – we found a 7% improvement in cognitive performance following an active commute compared to a non-active one. I encourage everyone to find their own way to unwind and recharge. Whether it's a short walk, a hobby you love, or a full-on holiday, investing in your mental health is always worthwhile. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #SelfCare #Wellbeing #HealthyLiving #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealthMatters
