Tips for work

Remember I promised to share some tips on going back to work, well the other day I was reminded of a couple of important things:
- Don't underestimate the journey to work , it can really make you tired! Take into consideration the impact of your journey, not just the actual travel time but also the mode of transport. For example driving requires a lot of concentration which can result in feeling tired upon arrival! Whatever mode of transport you choose remember to add in extra time and if possible travel with some one else it can help to feel more confident and relaxed.
- Work at your own pace and listen to your body. Most employers are supportive in phasing you back to work but if you are self employed then try to phase yourself back gently. Write a simple and achievable job/task list for the day, it feels great to be able tick off each job/task and the feeling of success is amazing but it's important to keep the list to the minimum. Set yourself up to succeed and not to fail.
- Plan your food and drinks, take water and drink often. I prefer to take my own food these days including some fruit for snacking. It is really important to stop working and eat in a relaxed and chilled out way. Your entitled to have a break and a proper break does rejuvenate you!
