The pandemic has made working from home as a mandatory lifestyle for all. For those who had never experienced the work from home life, it would have been a difficult situation to adapt to. Some of us are well adapted to the work from home scenario, while others are still struggling. All of us are waiting for the situation to go back to normal as before. Though the world’s new normal is on the trend, it is not that easy to accept the entire change brought about after the pandemic as a new normal.

As we work from home, here are a few helpful tips for leading a healthy life. It is a must to separate work-life and life at home with family.

1. Maintain the right schedule

When we go to the office, we have a schedule. We could go on breaks accordingly. We must make such a schedule when we work from home as well and take planned breaks. We must make it a point to complete the work set for the day within the time we have fixed.

2. Keep track of your health

We live in a situation where the virus is on the spread; we need to learn to live with covid. So, we must have healthy habits of eating the right food. We must take nutritious food and exercise enough to keep our immune system healthy. The early morning hours can be set aside as the time for exercise or a walk.

3. Spend time with family

Time with the family is a must to have good mental and physical health. The time should be set aside to talk with each other and know how the day went. The emotions of the little ones must also be understood, as they would also need to share their thoughts. All the members of the family should meet together at a convenient time and spend at least half an hour per day.

4. Set aside some time for yourself

The work from home lifestyle may seem like a 24/7 work though we stay at home. But we must take some time and do what we love to do.

5. Time for prayers and journal

Prayers are the best way to maintain a balance in life. A few minutes of thanks to God for all that has happened well will calm the mind. One can also take some time to write them in the journal. Those who do not believe in praying can just take some time and write about the happy moments of the day in a journal.

 A life well-lived is a life where there is a balance of work and life. Some of us would have a job of working from home even before the pandemic, and we would do the same even after the pandemic. Anyone who works from home at any time must remember that fact that life is not just about the profession we do, but it has got a lot more. The regular health checkups also help to ensure you stay healthy. So, draw a balance between work and life and live a healthy life.
